The Irrelevant Nationality

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. There has been quite a bit of talk about the LPGA and the nationality of its players. In particular, there are 42 South Koreans who are eligible to play. 42! That's amazing, since when my 8 year old daughter was born, I only knew of Se Ri Pak.
So what's the problem? Jan Stephenson among others thinks that's too many, because these ladies don't have the identity with the fans. Many of them don't speak English very well. It's tough to keep track of all these non-Americans.
All I can say is, it's irrelevant.
While it is important for some Americans to be on the LPGA and do well, it's more important for your tour to be what it claims, which is the tour with the best women players in the world. Can you imagine if Annika, Karrie Webb and Lorena Ochoa decided not to play in the US? Would anyone watch, knowing the best were elsewhere?
The best players should be on the LPGA. Period. Any nationality issues are irrelevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
