Let the LPGA open up to men November 27, 2005, 1:30 am

by lla
The PGA should put a rule in banning women. That's what the LPGA does to men. So fair is fair. If you want coed tournament, fine. Don't wreck the PGA becaus of unfair feminists. Women athletes will never compete with male athletes unless they cheat. Billy Jean King couldn't even beat an octengenarian former mens tennis champion. They changed all the rules in her favor because she was a women. Sorry babe. If you ain't playing by the exact same rules as the men, then it points out that you are a cheat and that you don't deserve to play there.

After seeing an intervew with Annika on the Golf Channel she said she wanted to hit a girls Grand Slam. I think it would be wonderful if Annika hit a Grand Slam. It would shoe the world what she is truly capeable of doing and that she is not out there just to show off. she has set a goal that i think she can truly beat.

Anika April 19, 2005, 4:17 pm

by Nita Richey
I am so proud of Anika and her talent to play golf. She is an inspiration to any golfer whether male or female. It is a game of skill, rules, and ettiquette. She qualifies to play the game of golf, the PGA.
Saying a female cannot compete with a male, because she is taking away one man's ability to make a paycheck, should look at the ability of a woman to make a decent living. Compare the earnings of the LPGA to the PGA. What happened to "equal rights"? Equal pay for equal work. Does this mean that men have more right to make more money than Anika, even if she plays better than them? We all know Anika puts just as much effort into her game as professional male golfers.
I was a fan of Vijay; I am not now. I do not appreciate the idea that a woman must take a "back seat" to a man. Do you say she embarrassed herself by trying? When is trying an embarrassment? Was not the invention of the light bulb considered an effort of 10,000 tries.
Give us women a break! We can become astronauts, leaders of nations,
Presidents, CEO's, and still give birth. Anika is women's Rosa Parks. She is opening the doors, not to just give us the opportunity to earn more money, but to walk side by side towards fair and just treatment. If she can play the game and make the cut, why not let her get the job?
There is more money in playing in the PGA. No one would criticize a man or woman who has the opporunity to go to work for Bill Gates rather than being a sales clerk at Staples. If they have the skills, they have what is necessary to make that choice. Anika has the skills. Let her have that opportunity. Let her make that choice.
Will women be able to compete with men in the Olympics? Probably not. But if they have the opportunity and can beat out other professional male golfers, who is to say they cannot try to be one of the top ten, twenty, or thirty golfers in the country?
