One of the least favorite responsibilities of my job is enforcing a dress code. Following the latest fashion trends, women show up with shorts that are not long enough. Also, men show up wearing denim or t-shirts. At times, these instances can come across as confrontational when someone is required to approach a member or guest guilty of not adhering to the facilities dress code. This can be equally uncomfortable or embarrassing for the person who made the infraction of the dress code.
When you think of young golfers who have dominated the sport, names like Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam come to mind. But now, there is a new name to add to that list. Yani Tseng, at the tender age of 22, has become the youngest golfer in history to win four majors after her impressive victory at the LPGA Championship in late June. But her dominance fell short on the 11th of July, when she failed to win her first Grand Slam at the US Open.
There has been only one name on the lips of golf pundits and fans as of late, and it is hard to wonder who that is: it’s Rory McIlroy. And for good reason; the 22-year old has taken the world by storm. His record-breaking performance at the US Open in June has created comparisons to a young Tiger Woods, but without the glamour and troubled social life. Without jinxing the young Northern Ireland native, whispers of greatness can be heard at most golf courses around the world.
