LPGA Tour Speaks!
I was just reading that the LPGA is going to require tour players to speak English. This new policy will be in affect starting in 2009. And if you’re already a LPGA Tour player you will need to know it (English) very soon. Because if you’re unable to speak it you will be suspended until you do. I was reading that no one from the LPGA has made it clear why this is going to be policy. Here’s what Libba Galloway told The Associated Press, “Athletes now have more responsibilities and we want to help their professional development. There are more fans, more media and more sponsors. We want to help our athletes as best we can succeed off the golf course as well as on it.” If this is the real reason then I say go for it. After all the LPGA is an America Association and I guess English needs to be spoken by all their card members.
