266.0. "Pay-Per-View Match" by COOKIE::CHAVEZ (Gettin' the bug to golf!) Mon May 09 1988 23:40

Anyone catch the Pay-Per-View golf match between Nicklaus/Trevino and
Norman/Woosnan?  It was played on the 25th of April.  I had no idea it
was on until I read Golf Digest today.

        The fact that you had to read about it in Golf Digest says a
    lot about the way this "event" was marketed--poorly.  The cable
    system we have was showing quick, flash commercials in the week
    before the show; however, most of the time they were too fast 
    to determine the who and when, never mind the number to call for
    hookup.
        Jack Craig, Sports TV critic for The Boston Globe, and Jim
    Baker, same duties(???) for The Boston Herald, each reported the
    audience at 36 homes out of 120,000 potential cable hookups in the
    Boston area.  I am hopeful that this miniscule turnout is an indica-
    tion of the fans' willingness to exercise their judgement, not simp-
    ly a matter of being uninformed about the time the "show" was on.
