	In my case, it's all the reasons above, plus the atmosphere. One of 
the great attractions to the TPR was the "social" hooplah around it. 
The team of legendary golfers forming the refs, the golfers reeving their 
golf club and awaiting the fateful day with a shiver running down their spine
and a vein pulsing up their eyeball. The merciless feuds between players, 
the cruel taunting, the desire to go down one stroke more so that your nemesis 
will have reason to scream once morning comes. The mid-week break and comments
from the head ref. 

	And, most of all, the cheerleaders in ostrich outfits. Boy do I miss those...


Joy,
