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 5:  Range session (60 min) -- GRASS IS OPEN FOR 1st TIME THIS SEASON! 😍
    • Day 29: Did about 20 minutes of putting indoors while leftovers were heating up, and then hit some balls after dinner for another 10 minutes before it got dark.
    • Hardly. Tiger’s stats far exceed those of Nicklaus’ other than the ‘Majors.’ I put majors in quotes because several of Jack’s major wins were grossly weak in depth of field.    Im sure you’re aware that major wins as the sole criteria was Jack’s idea only after he realized he wasn’t gonna be able to surpass Snead’s total wins. Which of course was Jack’s criteria originally. Jack also moved the goal posts by not counting Amateur championships after Tiger won three to Jack’s two.
    • Day 126 - Stack session and some divot board work. 
    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
