Tim Finchem's 18-Day Adventure

Here's how you know the American economy stinks...18 days? That's a lot of "customers" to talk to.

Courtesy of Doug Ferguson's weekly notes:

He will be at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, where the PGA Tour has a vested interest because it is a World Golf Championship. That will be part of an 18-day trip to five cities in Asia, where he plans to meet with current and potential sponsors.

"I haven't been to Japan in three years, and we have a lot of existing customers," Finchem said. "We have a WGC in China. There are other things I need to do in China and Korea. I would say 80 percent of the trip is seeing existing customers and potential customers, partners, possible sponsors, possible official marketing partners."

Is that first paragraph so wonderful that it was worth posting twice?

On topic, Things must be getting tight if Timmy is spending 2 1/2 weeks drumming up sponsors in Asia.
