A message from Madison Young, who you all raised around $6,000 so far. (Followed by a message to the haters from me) I’m extremely thankful for the outpouring of people who have reached out and supported me through the most difficult time of my golf career. It’s incredible the amount of people who sent money and kind messages wishing me luck and encouragement to never give up. Because of these people I have a chance to keep going. I look forward to thanking these people again with a win on the LPGA tour someday. To the haters who said “give up” or “get a job” from me: First of all, thank you. Sadly when I try to raise money for female players I often well short of what I hope to raise. For every comment that she should quit it motivated multiple people to donate. So thank you. I’ve raised significant money for maybe 50 to 60 players. In those other instances I got maybe one or two comments about them “getting a job”, but for Madison I got maybe a hundred. Guess what the only difference is? Correct, she is a woman. And I’ll give you one guess who has the best resume of the players I’ve raised money for? That’s right, Madison Young. I’ve never raised money for a player who has won on the KFT, never raised money for someone who has made it the PGA Tour (as a member). I’ve raised money for players who never had a single start on any major tour, players who didn’t play college golf, and players who had at that point never got thru first stage of Q-school. And hardly a single comment. Madison had won on the Epson, been a member of the LPGA and hopes to get back there again. So to the haters, thank you for bringing awareness to the many hurdles female pros face. Finding financial backing to keep their dream alive being a big one. I hope companies and people at clubs where female pros play are more aware of the hurdles facing them and offer to help. And I hope Madison wins on the LPGA one day, because the screenshots I took of the replies to that tweet will be a string of #receipts like you have never seen before.

Can we just go back to calling it the Senior Tour please? Championship Series and Champions Tour ain't going to work. No one out on the 50+ Tour is offended by calling it the Senior Tour.
