Hi,

The LPGA Championship is the LPGA’s own event, and the LPGA was created specifically to provide opportunities for women in professional golf. In 2005 this rule was revoked, effectively to allow then-amateur Michelle Wie to compete in order to attract more media coverage and sell more tickets, though this was not publicly acknowledged by the LPGA. Some professionals objected to this move as they felt that places given to amateurs would come at the expense of the LPGA Tour’s less successful professionals, who need to play regularly to make a living.

Hi,
LPGA ratings this year are flat (and they were already very low), and sponsorships are slipping, even causing the tour to axe a 31-year-old tournament in April. So it makes sense that Commissioner Carolyn Bivens wants players to embrace social media tools in order to boost interest in the flagging tour. But tweeting during play?

Typical feverish Twitter behavior, Hack. Twitter….tulips….bubble….losing bandwidth….can’t keep up….drowning in micro-messages….losing spouse….
You obviously got Corey on the Twitter bandwagon. Consider that a success and call it a day, Twitter-Pusher-Man. You know who you are, Twitter-Pusher-Man: you tweet during dinner under the table; you tweet when your wife isn’t looking; you tweet while driving and steering with your leg; you tweet while watching TV; you tweet incomprehensibly late at night…you Twitter-Pusher-Man.

Owning up that you may have been wrong took, well, Big Ballz. Good post.

I invented being wrong often and blatantly (and usually unrepentedly).

Poor Carolyn really had no clue what she was saying.
