I just saw the LPGA's latest ad These ads have always been bad but now seem to have reached a new level. I am now realizing that the US LPGA is targeted primarily to 5 to 7-year old girls. As a 41-year-old man, I am increasingly feeling not welcome in their audience. Their marketing makes me feel like a creep watching something he shouldn't be. I don't think I should be made to feel this way. This is a top level, professional adult sports association after all. LPGA marketing continues to surprise me with its incompetence and obliviousness. I really feel like when it comes to marketing and publicity they'd be better off doing nothing at all. It's not just this ad, there is a general babyishness that pervades much of the whole LPGA presentation. Check out their new post-round interviewer, I don't know who she is but she's quite giggly and immature. Only a few minutes into the new season, I've seen three interviews and already wondering how much more of this crap I can take. No one in Merica cares about women's golf...they have a very small niche to market to......and the LPGA has yet to figure out who that niche is. Ya got the old LPGA male droolers who don't play golf....therefore no one in the golf industry wants to spend any marketing dollars on them....white women don't really play golf nor do they care about women's golf. As I've said many times before...shut down the LPGA in the US and move HQ to Seoul or Tokyo and make BJ the new commish. Yup...the LPGA is babyish....remember the US war room at the Solheim in Colorado....it looked like a day care center...full of posters made by kindergarten kids, candy jars and teddy bears...face paint crap...ya got an IDIOT like Creamer who has "Mrs. Heath" on her staff bag, a pink haired Asian Giraffe, etc etc...yes grade school sh*t.

THATS IT I'm out I'm officially now a fairweather fan. I am turning this crap off, and only going to tune in again when 1) a favorite player is in contention or b) I can find a JTBC stream. You've got 3 options: 1) Activate your mute button. 2) Record the events...FF and watch it in 45 minutes skipping all the FLUFF. 3) Only watch REAL golf.....men's golf.

The interviewer, Chantel McCabe, gets a pass cause she's ok eye candy....she doesn't have a golf background.....GC's management are idiots...they fired the likes of Stephanie Sparks......competent, good golf knowledge and could play the game.

Not a good start for So Yeon. I guess her extra practice hasn't kicked in yet. She only hit seven greens, probably the lowest ever. Even when it's more wind. However, her twenty six putts kept her in contact with the leaders.

HF, you misspelled Robynn Ree's name on the website...should be corrected sooner rather than later as she is -2 thru 13 holes. She's +3 now... Who spells the name Robyn with two n's? Thanks for the heads up, I'll change it tonight.

So Amy Hung is Jenny Money's road manager now...Shanshan must be a FAKE Chinese...REAL Chinese don't like the Taiwanese. Amy is trying to get Feng to eat better.
Is Nelly using Nomura's old loop?

Shanshan is a good scrambler....5th last year. MW must be losing at least 20 yards of carry on that slice/fade drive.

The technical workers came into an agreement just in time for this tournament.
Three rookies had very good debut rounds: Luna Sobron Galmes, Lindsey Weaver and the Puerto Rican Maria Torres.
Monday qualifier Vicky Hurst got it down to -3 but built a snowman on her next-to-last hole.

One would think the strike/walk-out of workers would put a HUGE strain on the Tiger Show at Torrey and they also have a crew all week at the PGA Merchandise show too.

The 1st rd no-names on top of the leader board will fade by Sunday afternoon...if not sooner.
The coverage was brutal today....way too many commercials.
