Wednesday Wonderings: Burnout Edition

by JesBlogger Burnout sucks, especially when combined with an on-off again throbbing headache and a lack of actual hockey news.First, let's start off in the world of women's golf (zzzzz....), where the LPGA is going to mandate English proficiency. At a mandatory South Korean player meeting Aug. 20 at the Safeway Classic, the tour informed its largest international contingent that beginning in 2009, all players who have been on tour for two years must pass an oral evaluation of their English skills.
