Want a great way to shut down some golf chatter? Just bring up one of the discriminatory history of one of the games iconic courses. That usually does the trick.
ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy went that route Wednesday night when Mike Breen, one of his colleagues on the Dallas Mavericks-Phoenix Suns broadcast brought up The Masters, and how Van Gundy probably wouldnt make a great golf announcer. Lets just say Breen was right.
Asked for his hot take on golfs first major tournament of the year, Van Gundy quipped, Oh, like how they didnt allow black people and women in there?
Predictably, Breen and Mark Jackson were rendered speechless.
Yeah, Im glad were quiet about that, Van Gundy said.
But anyway, Van Gundy said, how about Jack Nicklaus making a hole-in-one (Wednesday) in the par-3 tournament?
