One problem.
The
L.P.G.A., while playing the majority of it's events in the United States, considers itself, and advertises itself, as A GLOBAL Tour.
Events are scheduled in:
The United States ........15 events
Kuala Lampur
South Korea
Taiwan
Japan
Mexico
Thailand
Singapore
Canada....... 3 events
Australia
France
England
The majority of Asians on the tour are Koreans.
To their credit, most of them are speaking English.
The Asians are doing a far better job at language aquisition than the American ladies are at speaking foreign languages.
To the L.P.G.A.'s credit the overseers of the Tour are providing some English classes for foreign players.
