Well, not to say I told you so, but I told you so. Ty Votaw’s apparent defection to the The PGA doesn’t do any good for the LPGA’s credibility. Votaw wisely wants to join the ranks of the Big Leagues. Please check out Donald Trump couldn’t market minor league LPGA. The LPGA offers fine golf and women who are great competitors.

However, this is a PR ploy that Tim McDonald has been suckered into. The fact is you can show up at this golf course just about any time and there is hardly anyone there. It’s not a bad track, really. But it is not very popular. I have been there three times and I could have played two ball. As of just last year their clubhouse was still a trailer.
