It was a natural partnership with so many South Koreans playing on the LPGA Tour. One day after the 10 year agreement for TV coverage with The Golf Channel, the LPGA Tour reached a 5 year contract with JBC to televise LPGA tournaments in South Korea.

Just as important, JBC agreed to help finance 2 LPGA tournaments: it will assume sponsorship of the Phoenix event and be the sponsor of a new event in Los Angeles from 2010 through 2014. JBC will also create and operate the LPGA's website that is done in the Korean language. After the controversy last year about forcing foreign players to learn English, these agreements will help "mend fences" with the Korean golf fans and players.

With the many great stars, young and old, on the LPGA Tour, this is a golden opportunity for the Tour to increase its popularity and financial strength. Since the women and men's Tours have extended their marketing internationally, these developments are very significant.

No such thing as too much exposure. Good for the LPGA. They certainly have not been sitting back in the tough economy but have been making it happen.

You are right. No one has been a more vocal critic of some of the decisions and policies of Carolyn Bivens than me, but these are great contracts!

I am really excited about the return of the LPGA to Los Angeles. I've played a course where they once held an LPGA Tournament, I think - but it is in O.C.. I certainly didn't play the Trump course!

Any word on which course they will play, or when in the year it will be?

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
