LPGA Speaks In Plain English

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Going into effect in 2009, all LPGA players who have been on tour for two years must pass an oral evaluation of their English skills. Failure will result in a suspended membership of their Tour card. Many commentators are criticizing the LPGA for booting a player off the tour just because they don’t speak English. In fact, there has been very limited if any positive response to this decision announced last Tuesday by LPGA officials. There are a reported 121 foreign players from 26 different countries on the LPGA Tour. Forty-five players of those are from South Korea.

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Hi, everyone and happy Wednesday!

On yesterday’s show, we asked you to choose the golfer who had never appeared in a movie about golf and 60% of the entries we received chose the correct answer. So, we’ll talk about those movies today on the show and you can see if your answer was correct.

Since yesterday was Tuesday and there was a new episode of Highway 18 on, our prize on yesterday’s show was a Golf Channel prize package and, because it was also Big Prize Tuesday, that prize package includes a personalized Golf Channel golf bag by Sun Mountain. Roger Erickson of Gilbert, Arizona was our winner and he got in touch with us right away so we’ll be getting his prize package and golf bag out to him right away.

Speaking of Highway 18, The Golf Channel is running a marathon of past episodes tomorrow night beginning at 6pm Eastern Time, just in case you’ve missed any of them so far. We’ve reached the halfway point on the series and now that four out of the five teams all have one strike, the competition is really heating up and anyone could be sent home at any time. So, if you need to get caught up on all the action, then be sure to tune in tomorrow night for the Highway 18 marathon, only on The Golf Channel.

Okay, that’s it for today. Have a great Wednesday! - Keri

Hi, everyone and happy Highway 18 Tuesday!

Okay, on yesterday’s show we asked about the very first player to appear at the top of the very first World Golf Ranking list. 65% of the answers we received chose the correct answer - and there did seem to be just a little confusion, although we really thought it was a pretty straightforward question. So, on today’s show, we’ll tell you who that first #1 golfer was and you can find out if you earned another entry into our daily drawings.

Our prize on yesterday’s show was a Bag Boy Three-Wheel Push Cart and our winner was one of our female players - Christina Gray of Discovery Bay, California! Congratulations, Christina and, to claim your prize, be sure to send an e-mail to me at keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days.

Also, on the new episode of Highway 18 tonight, the teams start their day at GOLF CHANNEL’s network studios in Orlando to “audition” their best on-camera news stories from the Golf Central desk for on-air personality Tom Abbott. Then, the teams will race to the Nick Faldo Institute for a chipping challenge, where they will be required to hole-out before they heading to the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Tampa for a dramatic Clubhouse Challenge. So, be sure to tune in tonight at 10pm Eastern Time for the new episode of Highway 18, only on The Golf Channel.

Okay, that’s it for today. Have a great day! - Keri
