Im very sorry for those of you who didnt get my point earlier...aly. Because michelle played this week and was given a sponsers exemption, not by nike or any of HER other sponsers but by the people who run the J.D., a hometown Hooters or Nike tour player didnt get an exemption. The fact of the matter is is that the tv coverage is already there and it truly doesnt matter one way or the other if a female plays or not. If a city needed local ticket money for a tourney, they could just host a womens event and be done with it. You guys are missing the entire point totally. Make the girls monday qualify just like every other species who wants to play in a pga event. Im by no means bashing her or womens golf, im just saying that the exemptions given out are done so in order to complete a field of players. When the field is at a certain point and an even amount of players has been reached, its closed. I for one am a fan of the J.D. because they are a big advocate of caddy play. I am also glad to see this exemption bite them on the ass because half the people i have talked believe that this "dropout" is not only due to monthly women problems but to bad play knowing that all cameras were on her. I hope she is doing well, no matter what the illness. I hope from this lesson that tourney sponsers pick the right players to fill in the field. LONG LIVE THE HOMETOWN KIDS
