The head of the LPGA wants the golfers to be able to tweet during rounds. For those who don't know, using twitter is just basically giving an update to your followers of your status or what;s on your mind.
This seems stupid to me to have the golfers doing this during a round. A heard many arguments against it, but one argument I was waiting for that I never heard.
The golfers would have their cellphones with them and obviously can receive text messages also. The temptation of receiving outside advice has entered. Someone (friend, parent, SWING coach) could notice something a little wrong with Paula Creamer's swing or putting stroke and text that information to Paula with advice on how to correct it. No one else would realize she is receiving outside advice, they will assume she is updating her twitter account.

Carolyn Bivens is clueless about sports. The LPGA commissioner's latest idea to draw attention to her foundering tour is to have players post messages on Twitter during competition. "I'd love it if players Twittered during the middle of a round," Bivens told Bloomberg.com yesterday. "The new media is very important to the growth of golf and we view it as a positive, and a tool to be used." Brilliant. That's just what golf needs, another way to make the game slower than it already is. But, hey, what could be more compelling for TV viewers than to watch players tap out messages on their iPhones between shots? The diversion from the task at hand no doubt will produce some dandy scores, too. And who cares if exchanging Tweets would constitute a blatant violation of the Rules of Golf? Between clubs? Just Tweet a query about what the players up ahead have been using. ("6- or 5-iron at 16th?") Unsure how much that 20-foot putt will break? No problem. ("3 balls outside on this?")

The ladies should NOT be twittering during a round..let the gals concentrate on their games, for gods sake.
