Olympics Golf

Big thanks to Japan for being a wonderful host. With all the craziness that has transpired over the past 15 months, it was great that they could pull this off. The closing ceremony was a bit eerie without fans in the stands. It'll certainly be one of the more memorable games.

Time are good for Aditi Ashok and Pajaree Anannarukarn; they teamed up to finish T-3 at Dow and both have reached new highs since.

The difference, their Instagram accounts. While Pajaree's LPGA win hardly created a dent on her account, 50,000 new followers have flocked to Aditi.

While it's nice to see Olympics' impact on women's golf, it's sad that regular LPGA events have gone unnoticed. This is, a huge challenge to the new LPGA commissioner.

These days I'm still catching up on some of the more interesting upsets in the Olympics -- it wasn't only until last night I managed to watch Indonesia's women doubles badminton team upset the Chinese for the Gold... Of course, golf took up a ton of my live viewing time LOL. Not to mention some weightlifting and boxing events. But yes, Japan will never cease to amaze me. I am super biased for that country as well haha...

Only if you are under the impression that Instagram followers equals actually viewing golf tournaments on a regular basis. Most of those that are obsessed with Instagram are more interested in that, than they are about watching the golf

Pretty accurate in my opinion, likely people looking to follow another attractive female and likely could care less about golf or they would have already been following them pre Olympics.
