Let’s be honest here, Rickie Fowler is pretty cool, and more importantly Rickie has been busy these days making golf pretty cool. His influence through social media is quite impressive, as he chronicles every major event he plays. He almost has 1 million followers on Instagram and I would imagine even more followers on Snapchat…maybe take the amount of followers I have and add 6 zeros to that number. Luckily I don’t base my self-worth by the amount of followers I have…or else I my life would be pretty sad and pathetic…I mean awesome and amazing! It’s players like Rickie that give golfers like you and me an inside glimpse to the life of these players, it’s also players like Rickie that can reach to players outside the game to drive more newcomers to the game. He’s a pretty cool dude giving us a pretty cool view into a world that we can only dream of, and it’s because of this I firmly believe Rickie needs to be a captains pick in the Ryder Cup. For a game that’s not struggling to find writers willing to write about how this game is struggling, he’s not struggling bringing people to the game…boy did I struggle to make sense of that sentence. Moving on, he can bring the younger generation to this wonderfully frustrating sport. For a game that says its losing players it needs to have Mr. Fowler playing a major part of all our more popular events. On a side note, he’s pretty good at golf…come on DL3 why wait!?! What do you think?
