LPGA Sex Scandal

I’m a little late to the game on the news of LPGA Tour player Jackie Gallagher-Smith seducing her former caddie, but I figure it’s time I show up to the party (fashionably late and to make an entrance, of course) to sound off on this scandal. To be honest, I’m not sure what I really think of this story.

So, for those of you not in the know, here’s the four sentence overview. LPGA Tour player hires a caddie who is 11 years younger to loop. She flirts with him and talks to him about the difficulties she (and her husband) are having trying to conceive a child. The caddie and Tour Player end up having relations and she thus becomes pregnant, and it’s a strong likelyhood the Caddie is the father of the child. The Caddie is emotionally distraught and is now taking legal action against Tour Player.

Now, I’ll dive into a few questions I have about this case.

My first question is, hasn’t every guy fanticized about being seduced by an older woman? I mean, I’ve seen The Graduate. And what about the relationship between that dorky kid and Stiffler’s mom? That lasted through three movies! Guys have these thoughts, I’m sure of it.

Second question, why’s this guy persuing legal action? That’s crazy. Shouldn’t he start a blog about his “adventures” on Tour? I bet The Sand Trap would welcome a guest columnist.

Next question, are all LPGA Tour players like this? If so, can I caddie for Jennifer Rosales? Or more importantly, why isn’t Ty Votaw creating multiple reality programs to air on Fox? I’m picturing some sort of Paradise Island spin-off with Katherine Roberts and Rick Smith as hosts.

One more question. Won’t this child be a great golfer? The caddie is trying to become a professional golfer and Gallagher-Smith can play; this kid’s got game in his/her genes. But I’m willing to bet a fiver that this kid hits the bottle at age 13.

And my final question. Will we ever find out if the kid is the caddies? No DNA tests have been completed, so all this could be speculation.
