English Only, Please

Posted in Pro-Golf News at 9:24 am by alex

The LPGA’s announcement that members will be required to speak English by the end of 2009 has set off strong reactions, from dismay to satisfaction. Is it for the good of tour members, or an arbitrary rule with racist undertones? Will this start a trend in other professional sports, or will it be dismissed as an anomaly? It will be interesting to see how this plays out. What do you think?

    I believe everyone should speak English and if they can not they should be removed from the tournament.

    Alex,

    Thought this might be a first for you.

    Is this what they mean by the ultimate wedge shot?

    Got a chuckle from this, though ended with a .15 not an ace.

    Keep up the good work, still loving this game.

    Caven

    It certainly is–thanks for sharing. Maybe someone put crazy glue there… :)
