LPGA Already Posts Craigslist Ad

While Alan Bastable finds one candidate already throwing her visor into the mix (Jan Stephenson), I was looking around Craigslist's job ads for the C-level gig I've always deserved and after working through most of the southeast, finally caved and went through the Florida ads.

You have to give the LPGA Tour points for already getting this ad up on Craigslist. For people who didn't want to overshadow the U.S. Open, they sure work fast!

Funny piece, Geoff.

When I read that I wasn't sure it was for real. So I asked someone I know who plays golf like a lady and he said it can't be real because they wouldn't do that during the US Open. So that confirmed my doubts. Other than that, it seemed fine to me. Barrie, what did you mean?

I meant the posting was funny because it was clearly not real, but a nice parody.

Craigslist just changed their policy on ads soliciting sex services, hopefully the censors don't catch this one ...

Geoff,
Too subtle for some I guess!

I was buying it until, "a strong desire to locate sponsors," then I knew it was a parody.
