Winner: All those tired golfers!
Around the wider world of golf: There wasn't a wider world of golf. The world ended last Friday -- didn't you hear?
As there was no golfing this past weekend, I figured I would possibly as well check the reason.
That's right. There turned into no golfing this beyond weekend due to the Mayan apocalypse. Golf courses were empty, as no one had a tee time. Why set a tee time whilst there could be no time? There might not also be any golf courses left!
And glaringly, without fanatics to buy tickets and line the fairways, sponsors saw no want to place up prize cash. Therefore, there were no pro golfing tournaments on any most important tour this week.
I become surprised to find out how quickly Wikipedia updated articles on the 2012 Phenomenon and the Mayan calendar to affirm that "Doomsday" turned into in fact a misinterpretation. A brief portion of the later article states:
Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar changed into the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm would take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 was surely the day that the calendar went to the next b'ak'tun, at Long Count thirteen.0.0.Zero.0. The date on which the calendar will visit the next piktun (a entire collection of 20 b'ak'tuns), at Long Count 1.Zero.0.0.Zero.0, will be on October 13, 4772.
Sandra Noble, govt director of the Mesoamerican research organisation Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI), notes that "for the ancient Maya, it turned into a big birthday party to make it to the stop of an entire cycle". She considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a whole fabrication and a threat for quite a few people to cash in." Presumably none folks will have to cope with the uproar which could manifest on 13 October 4772.
I decided that, for the reason that there had been no tournaments this beyond week, I might use this Limerick Summary to expose the actual importance of b'ak'tun thirteen. Consider yourself enlightened!
Those researchers made a mistake;
Rumors of our loss of life were a fake!
Here?S the deal: Ancient technology
Made clear to the Mayans
That golfers would need Christmas break! The picture came from comicsbeat.com.
