I'm assuming they must be ...shall we say...dinosaurs. At the same time, many LPGA players do get it...They have blogs and myspaces and facebooks...They understand the importance of new media and social networks. That said, the way I've gotten press credentials for some high profile golf events is through the sponsors of such events. If a sponsor has a good, young (or at least forward thinking) PR staff they are generally receptive and pleased to have new media coverage. I suggested this to Sean, we'll see how he makes out.
