Everyone is allowed one mistake. Heaven knows I’ve made a few but where do you begin with Commish Bivens. Talk about the domino effect. Obviously overwhelmed by Ginn’s initial proposal, dollar signs everywhere, she can’t undo this one.
And while we’re at it, what a low-rent, money-grubbing weasel Ginn is. People were lining up to partner with this slimeball, including the great (and usually untainted) Annika Sorenstam. This loser promises the world to everyone based on the future sales at his properties. How about a little backup Bob? How about having the money up front and then worry about sales in your overpriced neighborhoods. Robert Gidel, the president of Ginn Resorts blames it on the recession and the current real estate market. Newsflash for Mr. G……this house of cards could have been toppled by an infant sneezing.
Shame on Ginn Resorts, all their businesses should be frozen immediately if they can’t honor their contracts. Shame on Bivens for jumping in with this dog and pony show while losing decades long relationships with established sponsors. That 1.3 million dollar event in South Jersey doesn’t look so bad now does it sweet cheeks? And shame on the LPGA membership for running Ty Votaw out of town. Since leaving the LPGA he has only become one of the most powerful and influential people in all of golf. He may not have been flashy, but the tour always grew solidly under his reign. A steady hand like his will be needed to clean this mess up. If Bivens’ hands ever stop shaking she might just find the time to pack her office.
World tour here we come.
