The Tropicana Essentials Ladies’ British Open Amateur

No April Fool’s joke: The Ladies’ British Amateur now has a presenting sponsor. The Tropicana Essentials Ladies’ British Open Amateur. Succinct. And how long before the USGA or R&A take this idea and run? Click on this link if you don’t believe me.

Thanks to reader Blue Blazer for this. And for pointing out that I grossly exaggerated the silliness of gender reassigned golfers getting their reassigned status acknowledged within 2 years, while amateur status reinstatement takes 3 years. You’re right Blue Blazer, the golfer has two chances at regaining their amateur status. Whereas gender reassignment is definitely a one-time deal, thus explaining the shorter window for the reassigned to gain their eligibility.  This is why you have a Blue Blazer, grey slacks and a red tie, and I just own beach attire.
