Listen !!!!!!!! LPGA, if you want respect you need to earn respect

It seems that several of the LPGA players and office people have a problem with my take on the Tour Championship coming up this week in Houston. Well let me give you some facts about your so called Tour Championship.

1. There are only 10-12 players on your entire tour who have a remote chance of winning.

2. Your bringing in a full field wrought with bad players to make money off the pro-ams. When it should be a reward for only the top players.

3. It's really not a Tour Championship at all but rather just another over hyped tour event. The Samsung or The Lorena Ochoa events were far superior than this Tour Championship and not hinged on money making pro-am schemes

4. Eric Blasberg is in the field for crying out loud! What kind of reward is being in the Tour Championship if Erica Blasberg is in the field! This girl couldn't place in the top 20 if 100 players withdrew but she can swear and drink like a truck driver whose twitter account needs a MA rating!

5. The LPGA is in trouble!!! Be honest with people fans and sponsors and you will get the help you need but hiding behind your inept leadership and Board are not going to improve your standing. Keep treating your fans like idiots and see how well it works for you.

I should not have singled out Erica Blasberg, who was a great college player but can't seem to be able to play the game anymore. There are many of these girls who are lacking in any kind of social grace which is evident if you follow them on twitter. Jane Park, Christina Kim, Nicole Hage, Paige Mackenzie just don't get it. They can't seem to act like ladies or professionals except in front a TV camera. They are young but there is a reason they don't get the big name sponsors and that reason is they are time bombs who will blow up at anytime and make complete fools of themselves the tour and the sponsors.

I'm pleading with the LPGA Leadership!!! Get you act together. Embrace your fans. Get ideas from them (they know better than you what they like). Control your players! Don't let a few out of control immature types ruin your progress. Do the right thing and most of all turn over a new leaf and be honest with people. Your fans are not stupid so don't treat them like they are.
