INDUSTRY - The Ladies Professional Golf Association is seeking 600 volunteers for the Kia Classic, to be held March 21-27 at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms.

The World Golf Foundation created The First Tee in 1997 as a way to bring golf to young people who otherwise would not get to know the game and its positive values. It is sponsored by the Ladies Professional Golf Association, the Masters Tournament, the PGA and PGA Tour, and the United States Golf Association. President George W. Bush has succeeded his father as Honorary Chair.

There were moments of angst among Ladies Professional Golf Association officials when then-world's No.1-ranked golfer Lorena Ochoa announced her retirement last month. Ochoa had been the major draw for a tour trying to survive the choppy waters caused by the exodus of several corporate sponsors, which forced LPGA officials to trim the tournament schedule this year from 30 to 24 events.

According to the authority, the convention center reported eight tradeshows, meetings and conventions held in 2010 as of February, compared with 15 such events held in the prior-year period.

"Athletes now have more responsibilities and we want to help their professional development," deputy commissioner Libba Galloway told the Associated Press. "There are more fans, more media and more sponsors. We want to help our athletes as best we can succeed off the golf course as well as on it. Views: Hogwash.

On a recent journey through a few southern states, Old Dad and I passed countless streets with names that captured our attention, names such as Detour Road, Equipment Street and Good Intent Road.

It isn't hard to figure out where International Golf Drive got its name - it passes in front of the Ladies Professional Golf Association headquarters outside Daytona Beach - and it's just as evident that the nearby International Speedway Boulevard takes its title from its pathway to and from the raceway. Equally obvious are Foothills Road, in Charlotte, N.C., and Rocky Ridge Road, in Asheville, N.C.

The proud Ladies Professional Golf Association is bedeviled by more bad moons and black clouds than you can smite with a 6-iron. And in a sadly ironic way befitting the organization's swoon, many of them crossed last weekend during the U.S. Women's Open.
