What The Hell Was Steve Sands Doing There Anyway?
In all the confusion, flying chicken pieces and coloured people, itâs only now Iâm asking the question âWhy say Steve Sands asking the questions at the European Tour Players Awards anyway?â Sands was flown in to flank Sarah Stirk, who never seems to go home.
Surely we have enough golf interviewers in Europe, one of whom would have no bother having a bit of banter with the European Ryder Cup guys? Itâs a bit like boxing promoters having Jimmy Lennon Jr flown in from the US for a title fight in Manchester. Whatâs that saying to John McDonald? Youâre crap?
Back to Steve Sands from The Golf Channel. Is it something about having an interviewer fly in from the States? Well we have David Feherty and Shane OâDonoghue over there, both immensely qualified to have some fun. And they could pop home for tea while theyâre here.
If itâs not that, what about Peter Alliss or one of the lads from the beeb? Or Di Dougherty? Or the bevvie of Sky employees who didnât get to ask the questions? Murray, Lee, Boxall, Riley, McFarlane or the Terminator T1000 aka Tim Barter?
Or did the organizers not want to hurt anyoneâs feelings, by choosing one over the other.
You know what? The more I think about it, Steve Sands was a good call!
