mcdonalds is soon to stop sponsoring the lpga championship and the tour in general seems to have a problem maintaining top-level corporate sponsorship as well as significantly increasing their media coverage and so i think its time for the lpga tour to consider drastic steps to perk the interest. i think a great first step would be a mandatory change of all players last name to suit a corporate sponsor. for instance, i've seen morgan pressel in person and she is a cute little nugget so change her name to morgan chicken mcnugget. paula creamer has a name that's milky already so why not paula got milk? maria hjorth has a name that no one knows hot to pronounce so she should change her name period, maybe maria pepto bismol. lorena ochoa is the big gun right now so kraft-nabisco should be granted rights to her name out of homage to being the great sponsors of the lpga tour they've been so she would be lorena kraft-nabisco.

sound great? any other suggestions?

The LPGA is taking ownership of their championship, sort of like The Players, in order to keep the money they make and to, it's been hinted at, start and maintain a retirement/pension program for its players.

The remainder of your post doesn't even warrant attention.

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
