LPGA women's golf English Rule Discriminates Unfair; LPGA women's golf English Rule Discriminates Unfair

The new LPGA women's golf English speaking rule discriminates and is unfair. The new rules seems to be targeted specifically to the influx of foreign players, who are now doing very well and winning many LPGA tournaments.

I do not see how an English speaking rule, improves the quality of play of women's golf. I also don't see how an English speaking rule increases the quality of players in the women's LPGA golf game.We have to ask ourself does the new rule increase the quality of play and players in the women's golf game specifically the LPGA. In fact this is how most rules in sports are designed, rules should be created to improve the quality of play. I don't really see how an English speaking rule, helps to improve the quality of women's golf game. Nor does it help to improve the players that competes on the women's golf tour. If anything it dilutes the number of players who can compete in women's golf and also it may even are some of the top female golf players from playing.

Golf is about hitting the ball, not talking. In fact the less you speak in Golf, the better! That way you observe proper golf etiquette and don't disturb the other players shot.

So you're telling me that, a player plays better when they speak English, and by eliminating the players who don't speak good English, we have a stronger pool of women golfers competing in LPGA tournaments. This is ridiculous and it discriminates and it is unfair.

We already have a system that increases the quality of play and players in the women's golf, and this is by making the cut. This is why we play qualifying rounds to see who makes the cut. The cut takes care of making sure we have the best players playing in LPGA tournaments at all times and an English speaking rule does not do this.

I also smell a lawsuit at the end of of this with the LPGA coming up on the short end of the stick.

Suppose that a deaf player wanted to compete in the LPGA. And let us further suppose that the DEAF player could not speak at all, English or otherwise, would she be prevented from playing in LPGA tournaments because of the English speaking rule.

Of course not the LPGA would provide a translator, and that is what it needs to do for its foreign players. In other sports there has been a steady influx of foreign players, not all of these players speak very good English, I feel that there should be some incentive for them to learn to speak English, because it aids in the interview process and the promotion of women's golf especially if a foreign player wins the tournament. But this should not be used as an excuse to discriminate against foreign players who do not speak English very well.
