Alexis Thompson is a very good golfer. Alexis Thompson is 14. She is not a great athlete nor is she a super phenom! She is however, a little girl. A little girl, who is leading a so called "pro golf tournament". The truth is she won't win but she is making a mockery of the LPGA. You see, the LPGA bills it self as being the "Elite Womens Golf Tour" when it is really a somewhat poorly run, poorly managed, disorganized, organization trying to stay afloat.

History tells us that in poor economic times, High Quality items always sufferer the least. Mercedes Benz, The PGA Tour, Rolex, Blackberry, and a few others who offer the highest quality to their customer. You see, If you by the best you will never be disappointed!The LPGA refuses to allow the best golfers to compete. You see they have all kind of restrictions keeping great golfers from getting into their tournaments but very few for getting rid of poor golfers.

Alexis Thompson is lucky to be able to have the opportunity. She is a legitimate world class player as is Amanda Blumenhurst,Mina Harigae, Jean Reynolds
and many others both amateurs and professionals. They are seldom allowed to compete with the world class players because of LPGA rules. Dorothy Delasin (who would have a 10 handicap) plays in every event. Now how can you carry a 10 handicap and be allowed to compete exempt week in and week out or for that matter even be able to say your a professional golfer? She has not made a single cut this year yet she is exempt in to all tournaments with the exception of the performance based events like the Samsung. Now if I were struggling in tougher economic times I would certainly look at the quality of product I was trying to sell to my customers. The LPGA seems to think otherwise. They think it's good that a little girl is better than 90% of their members. You won't see this on the PGA tour ever. Those players would never allow a little boy to beat them. Sure on occassion amateurs have done well in PGA events but they were accomplished golfers with extensive backrounds not little boy's. They don't just allow anyone who has ever played in a PGA event to bump the best players from events. Look at the scoreboard from this weeks LPGA event and ask yourself how many of these women should really be in this even when there areso many better golfers all over the country who deserve the opportunity to play. If this were the case the quality of the LPGA would be so much better and they wouldn't have to worry about their future in times like these.

I propose at top 20-30 exemption! The top 20-30 players on the money list qualify for next week automatic. The rest have to qualify on the same or similar courses as the one the event will be held on. This insures you getting the best players week in and week out and gives the best players and opportunity to break into the Low Performance Golf Association.
