Why does the lpga love 20 under par.

I wish someone would explain to me why the LPGA loves to make these courses so easy that player who don't shoot 5 or 6 under par om them lose ground to the field. Do they think the fans like it better? Do they think the golfers like it better? Who does it help?

You know when players like Jehaee Lee (9 handicap) shoot +1 for 36 holes that you are playing on not only a terribly easy but also very short course. They billed the Navistar at around 6,200 yards well maybe from the back tee's and they didn't play any back tee's. A Caddie who regularly talks with me before events and scours the course prior with a range finder says the course isn't even 6,000 yards and plays less than it is. Now the LPGA sets the course up the way they want and for the type of conditions they expect and to make for an exciting event but the Navistar is nothing more than a putting contest.

If you favorite LPGA player is not -8 by the end of this tournament then they are very marginal and should have their professional tour status. Their are a thousand club pro's out there and way more amateurs who could shoot -8 on this course in four rounds and think they didn't play well. Did you know there are players on the LPGA who haven't shot a single round under par for the entire season not just this tournament. Please tell me how these golfers enhance the value and appeal of the tour to sponsors. No I love the LPGA but at the rate they are going we will not have it much longer and our ladies will have to compete in Europe or Asia. I would hate for that to happend but the continued bungling by the board of directors and those making the decisions is just killing it.
