Looking forward to 2010 to see what strides the LPGA will make!!!!!!!

It's looking like it's going to be an interesting 2010 LPGA season. You a have a great class of rookies coming in that will help enhance the quality of competition and elevate play. You have a new Commissioner who I believe, if not shackled by the IMG contract could make sweeping positive changes. You have new "status rules" that will somewhat weed out the poorer players and allow more of the better players to enter the full field events. Finally you have a great marketing man on the Board of Directors and one who will settle for whats been the status quo lately.
One concern is the amount of scheduled but not finalized events on the Tour's 2010 schedule. If one or two or all of those events fail to materialize it could turn in to a very big deal and create a negative snowball effect that could linger over a few seasons. So it's my hope they can lock those events in ASAP and solidify the schedule.

I am anticipating being in Thailand for the opening event. I have been there a few times with the World Health Organization while in med School and am looking forward to the Golf and the vacation. So 2010 will be, if nothing else a interesting year to observe the LPGA. The golf will be great and better than ever but how the Tour is handled and marketed and in essence delivered to the public will be the something to keep your eye on. Last but not least,Let's get a TV Contract. These girls can play!!!!!! Let's let everyone see it.
