In fairness, it's certainly not just TV people who get overly sappy about The Masters (see post below).
Print reporters are guilty, too. In fact, there is no group of sportswriters more reverential when it comes to the sport it covers than golf writers.
And there is no group of sportswriters more likely to regularly play the sport it covers than golf writers.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, necessarily. Because people who read stories about golf also are much more likely to play the game than is true of fans of most other sports.
I have many good friends who are golf writers. So I'll leave them alone now.
And leave you alone. Enjoy Fairfield Prep vs. Greenwich lacrosse on MSG Plus at 6 p.m.
And enjoy the free food at the Knicks game.
