You Should Apply To Become LPGA Commissioner

No, really, you should. And the LPGA Tour encourages you to do so. Take a look at their website.

I mean, why make a suggestion when you can apply? But, if you are going to make suggestions, the people after the jump are NOT eligible to be LPGA Commissioner.

	Count Chocula: He's a marketing genius, but he's also a chocolate craving vampire, and fictional. So he has two things working against him.
	Carolyn Bivens: If you're reading this Carolyn, you can't slip back into the job. You're not Bill Clinton.
	Bud Selig: You already messed up baseball.
	Kendra Wilkinson: While you may well have some great ideas for golf outfits (probably NSFW), we need someone with a brain.

Who would you nominate to become LPGA Commissioner? Or, would you apply for the job yourself?

a few small problems with the Count Chocula nomination – eventually, you’ll have to have all the tournaments at night…and there’s the possibility of a rookie draining someone in the gallery. Then there’s the complexion problems with all that chocolate and sugar – the women just wouldn’t go for it. :-)

True, I completely forgot about the night tournament ideas. And he is really hard to understand, so his press conferences would be murder for the press.

Yes

He was great at kibbitizing but a complete disaster as GM of the Chicago White Sox for one year.

I grew up watching him play with Cleveland – great player – the star of the team. But I didn’t know he was GM for the ChiSox. How about that. He does a good job calling games.

I thought it had been decided that Anna Rawson was the new LPGA commish. After all of her great ideas — like nekkid golf, etc., — then it was surely a done deal. Have I missed something?

Vince told me I had the job.

I don't believe you really want to do that, Heather...

if you expect to get your index below 10.0 in this lifetime. You’d be spending all your time answering media inquiries concerning how you plan to overcome your predecessor’s mistakes.

Truth has a well-known liberal bias.

Tony the Tiger

Should leave his marketing work at the Little League World Series and step up to the professional leagues.

Did you know that the same guy that did the voice for Tony The Tiger also sang the original Grinch song?

Once you make the connection, it changes Tony and The Grinch forever.

Courtgolf doesn't know everything

necessary to become LPGA commissioner. I also don’t know everything necessary to become commissioner. BUT, between us, we could do a helluva job. How about it, court, can you live on $500,000 per year and belong to a couple different clubs. I’ll do Tues, Thurs, Sat; you do Mon, Wed. Fri and we’ll alternate Sundays.

I think that sounds like a workable solution there…and with the part time schedule, I’ll do it for $450,000 ! :-D
