Mine's A Chicken Salad Sand Wedge Please

What about a separate golf tour for fat lads? We already have the PGA Tour, Seniors Tour, Amateur Tour, Ladies Tour.

All of these it seems to me categorise individuals primarily on the basis of physical characteristics. Well there’s a few fellas I’ve noticed waddling around the semi rough recently that could benefit from a redeployment on that same basis.

It must be disconcerting for your Shane Lowrys and your Darren Clarkes to be paired with the likes of svelte Swede Robert Karlsson in a ranking event. The poor chaps have enough to contend with; fighting erratic form, the course, the weather, the urge to call Dominos around the tenth tee without throwing an unwinnable battle with their self esteem into the mix.

Is it not time to level the playing field and devise a system similar to boxing wherein Shane, Darren and Lee could be assured that they would only be competing amongst those with a similar disregard for the concept of recommended daily allowances?

The Pudgy PGA Tour. Coming soon.
