Christina Kim has no clue!!!!!!!!!!!

Christina Kim, whom I think is adorable and sometimes a bit over the top but can play her irons like very few others and a very good friend who has worked with and for the LPGA tour for many years had a small argument today on twitter and it went as follows.

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim No one will sponsor LPGA events because the LPGA has no INTEGRITY hmm bet posing nude will help

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 excuse me???

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 what do you even know about the issue, or even the LPGA business, for that matter, may I ask? Why point out golf when 30+athletes

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 were a part of the issue

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim Marty is well aware of where I stand on this and you have to know golf requires a higher standard to insure integrity

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim unless you want to play in the Nuva Ring Invitational wearing a thong keep exploiting the game

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim Sponsors like Corning and Jaime Farr will have no part in your tour like this You are smarter than this!

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 but what about other sports, do they not have the same standards with which should be upheld in your opinion?

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim A bit but ticket sales drive them, not so in golf it's sponsor driven.

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim quality companies like Rolex and Mercedes Benz can be associated with questionable activities

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim I'm sorry can't be

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim I understand it was your decision and I respect that but so much more is at stake here especially now!

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 why and how is golf so high and mighty compared to tennis, equestrian, hockey, football? Pardon my ignorance, I'm just curious

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim I can not even believe you just asked that question. I'm truly saddened.

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 I understand and appreciate your wish for betterment of the tour, but condescending tones, esp after the fact, don't help :-)

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim You win your the best ever!

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim i would have told you the very same thing before the fact.

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 I do not need cynicism, nor do I need to be lavished with compliments. But I have yet to read a positive thing you've posted.. I'm

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 just asking why flog a dead horse. I'm sure you'd have clearly stated your opinion before the fact. I don't mean to say you'd not

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim This horse isn't even close to dead there will be repercussions for a very very long time

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim I know and I'm sorry but, please understand this is the only avenue with which we have to be heard

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim If there was a positive way to address this I would have done it but how to, has escaped me.

ENICK88 @TheChristinaKim Ok I'm done enjoy your time off. Oh and Venice really does smell bad it's the canals or standing water or something

TheChristinaKim @ENICK88 I'm not looking to argue. Don't mean to offend, thank you for your honesty. Truly, I'm not trying to sound snarky

Now the reason I want to post this is because this is a player who has done nothing but play Professional Golf in her life. She has been on the LPGA Tour for years and won multiple (2) I believe times and makes a very nice living. It's the fact that she does not know why golf and golfers are held to higher standards then other sports. She does not understand or the LPGA is negligent in making it clear that adult fans of golf average over four years of college and have income levels that are two to three times higher than the major ticket sales driven sports. She does not understand why Rolex and Mercedes Benz and Izod LaCoste sponsor golf and tennis and not NASCAR and NFL Football!

How does one become a professional golfer yet know nothing about the game? I can't even comprehend how an LPGA "professional golfer" could not know that their sport was sponsor driven rather than ticket sales driven like the NBA and NFL. The ticket sales at a single LPGA event would not even cover the course set up for that event. To think that your Tour in it's dying hour can withstand more public scrutiny by the very people who support it, is just idiotic behavior.

I'm done, when you have an LPGA player who is on the Board of the Tour and has absolutely no idea what her sports demographic is or what makes her sport answer to a higher standard then the others and with out regard for the very Sport and Organization that employs her chooses to represent the game in a way that can be conceived as negative is more than I as a lover of the LPGA can stand.
