750.0. "1989: Golfer of the Year" by DINSCO::BURKE (I'll play rain or shine) Wed Sep 06 1989 20:21

	Now that the majors are over, who is your choice for golfer of the
year?  Looks like Payne Stewart, Mark Calcavechia and Steve Jones are
strong contenders.

750.2NORMAN'S THE ONESANFAN::GRANT_JODon't say `shank'Wed Sep 06 1989 21:0711
    Based on his strong showing in the majors, his international record,
    and his two wins here in America, I would nominate Greg Norman for
    golfer of the year.
    
    I understand that the PGA golfer of the year is decided on a point
    system, and that Calcavecchia and Stewart are the leading contenders
    to date.  So my choice is based on a more personal and extra-PGA
    basis.  Norman's my man.

    You mean US tour golfer of the year?
    
    Stewart or Calcavecchia, but isn't that what you have the money
    list for?
    
    If it's not just US tour then Nick Faldo - he's gone into just about
    all the majors as pre-tournament favourite; won one and played well
    in the others. He's also won around the world.

    My choice is Payne Stewart. He seemed like he was in contention
    every week.
    
    Nick Faldo gets my choice overseas. He, along with Calcavecchia,
    missed too many U.S. tournaments, though.

    he may not be player of the year, but he is simply the BEST 
    player ....
