"The words 'revolution' and 'golf' just don’t look right together. And yet the LPGA — the women’s half of the sport that gave us whispery announcers and polite half-claps — has effectively toppled its leadership thanks to a groundswell of angry players. Carolyn Bivens resigned as LPGA president Monday and was replaced with former Navy rear admiral Marsha Evans. It was a bloodless coup — you were expecting Juli Inkster leading a column of Cossacks? — but clearly a coup nonetheless."
—David Roth, "A Coup in the Shade of Green," The Wall Street Journal, 14 Jul 09.
