It is not a secret in the golf world that Dottie Pepper is not a fan of LPGA Tour Commissioner Carolyn Bivens.  Pepper is one of the more outspoken players in the Tour's history.  ("Choking freaking dogs!")  So, it comes as no surprise that Dottie has a response to the LPGA's reorganization.

First, Dottie seems peeved that Chris Higgs is out.

Caught in the crossfire was COO Chris Higgs, which means there's only one member of senior management left from the pre-Carolyn Bivens era. That could be problematic because, to me, the only way for the LPGA (and golf in general) to survive the economic crisis is to get back to what it does best — offer sponsors hands-on involvement and support, provide a wonderful vehicle for companies to advertise their products and give charities a chance to do their work.

Makes sense as to what Dottie feels that Higgs represented, but does that mean that there is no one at the LPGA Tour that can sustain those relationships and provide those types of experiences for sponsors?  I am not a LPGA insider, so I cannot say.

Here are Dottie's other complaints:

It's time to back off the inflexible escalation of rights fees by granting struggling tournaments some relief from the strict letter of contractual purse increases.

The tour needs to use players in this manner [of building and saving relationships] and be thankful for their commitment.

I agree with both of those vehemently.  But the one that I most agree with is this (and it goes for anyone that goes to the Tim Finchem School of Business Speak):

And while we're on a roll, how about losing the cryptic jargon. For example, the LPGA's announcement said that it hoped to create "economic empowerment opportunities" and "to establish executional excellence as standard." How about "provide our members with as many business opportunities as possible" and "do the very best job we can"? Putting a human touch on the sport starts with the way you talk about it.

What would you have the LPGA Tour change if you were the Commissioner?
