A Futile Blow-By-Blow of the U.S. Open

by Choire posted @10:45 AM

Useless? Or wonderful? The executive editor of Golf Digest is live-Twittering the U.S. Open. It's sort of like poetry. Meaningless, meaningless poetry, from a time before there was no, say, television to deliver "moving images." Remember TV? It was so functional.

AND THEN A RAINDROP FELL

    remember when golf wasn't on TV? remember when golf was refined, before it basically became the back yard of a fraternity?

    Remember when Choire or Balk would send out their daily email before their mid-morning golf-post-induced nap?

    TV is the most perfect thing ever invented, and will never be replaced. One needs a device that generally doesn't require your constant interaction. Actually, the refrigerator may be better. I'll think on this.

    Stupid technology applied to the stupidest of games. We have reached nirvana.
