Tony Ponturo Great move for LPGA, Leslie Greis, Michelle Ellis not so much.

Tony Ponturo, by all indications is a wonderful addition to the LPGA Board of Directors that needs an infusion of aggressiveness and action. Nobody can market like a Beer Company!!!!!!! I'm sure he will infuse an otherwise lazy and puppet like board into actually doing something positive for the good of the game and it's players and failure for Tony as has been proven is not an option.

Leslie Greis on the other hand has nothing to offer to anyone especially a poor performing board that should be completely overhauled with people who will take action and move the LPGA in a positive direction instead of using their seat as a random source of disposable income. She has a pretentiousness about her! She has been an independent director since 2007 and really added nothing of significance to the LPGA. She was on the finance committee and look where that go you!!!!!! She was present and quiet during the Bivens catastrophe and look where that got you. She is a fellow Harvard grad and I hate to speak in a negative tone about her but, Come on people, what in gods name could you be thinking! Common sense would tell you she has done nothing to help the LPGA and will not in the future!

Michelle Ellis is a wonderful person and has the type of personality that makes the people around her feel comfortable. She has been dealing with private issues most of this season and I think that the players did not want to pull the rug out from under her by electing a new president, but girls I have to tell you, This is the most crucial time in the life of the LPGA. It's sink or swim and to carry the same president into this new adjustment period that could not be present during the change over is really not a good idea. Michele can do the job, of that there is no question but new blood now is better and all the old and negative issues need to be replaced with sound strategy and positive ideas. You can't keep they same people and expect things to change is my point. People don't change! New ideas and a new approach is what you needed and you failed to see that. A new commissioner is great but you needed to have people who are on board with the program and not content to leave things progress slowly without change!

  1. I counted no less than ten mistakes in that last paragraph alone, therefore I'm proposing an idea.
    Before you start criticizing other people? You may want to proofread, use spellcheck, consult Webster's Dictionary or even Google, to ensure your post isn't filled with grammatical, spelling and punctuation mistakes. I feel quite sure then that people might take your illogical opinion a little more seriously, and I'm guessing that's your goal here.
