the bottom line is that there is a struggling local guy at each tourney that doesnt get an exemption to his hometown pga event because michelle or annika gets his spot. i dont care if it happens twice a yr. or 20 times, its bogus. If women or their sponsers want them to play in an event, i have no problem, 4 spot monday qualify for the tourney like every other guy out there trying to make a living playing golf. It simply isnt fair to hand out exemptions to women when there are plenty of guys who are trying to play. Wether or not these women play in the tourney will never change their status on their tour so why does it matter. women would cry foul if men put their best 16 yr. old in one of their tourneys, so stay on your own tour UNLESS you can qualify to play in a mens event. It is only fair and im sick of the special treatment that truly robs a local guy from a deserving exemption. Again, if you can monday qualify for the event, thats great but sponsers are truly kicking dirt on the local guy who counts on a chance to play at home once a yr.
