Just let Natalie Gulbis do all the talking for anyone who doesn't speak English. Preferably in the buff. Broadcast in HD.

Wow, um yea. I won't get started in to an argument as to the validity of golf as a sport - not against someone whose national sport is Baseball.
Anyways... Her name is Annika Sorenstam by the way, and she is recognized as the best female golfer in the world. She entered one PGA even in 2003 and didn't make the cut. Why don't the best women's golfers play with the men? Um, because thats like asking why there is a WNBA? Even if Sorenstam was good enough to make some cuts in the PGA, which she probably is, why the hell would she want to, considering she makes millions a year on the LPGA?
I find it funny that the LPGA is complaining about all of these newer foreign golfers, yet at the same time is complaining about the attractiveness of female golfers. The average American LPGA member in the 80s and 90s looked like a dumpy, somewhat butch, housewife. Hate to say it guys, but the best looking players on the tour are the Asians and Europeans.
I don't really get the whole idea that an athlete has to speak English well to be sponsorable. I can understand requiring that they get enough of a grasp to do sound bites - see any Russian hockey player - but I don't think any level of fluency should be required. Look at other American sports, they don't make NASCAR drivers speak understandable english...

The LPGA has fans?
Let me rephrase.
The LPGA has fans that want to hear them talk?

Yeah. Playing golf since I was around ten and on the high school team makes me like crazy stuff like this. I don't go out of my way to watch it, but I'll take golf or tennis (parents and their friends all played) over other sports any day.
