Reader's Forum Australian golf star Greg Norman criticized a decision last week to have two players share the Australian PGA title, saying tournament rules that state sudden death should continue until a winner is decided should be adhered to no matter what. Last week, Norman criticized organizers of the Australian Open for canceling the first round because of unplayable greens, saying Australian golf was humiliated. Should Norman continue to speak out on issues in golf, especially in his native Australia? Do you enjoy hearing what he has to say? What role should Norman take in the golf world as he gets older and continues to diversify into other business interests?
