Why are the names of the LPGA tournaments so long? Who is RR Donnelly and why do they call it the Founders Cup? I thought Founders Club went out of business several years ago. I owned The Judge driver although I thought it was horrible. Plus, why would you name a driver "The Judge". Seems to me that's kind of harsh name. Didn't Lee Jansen play Founders Club? What happened to that guy? Dude wins a couple of US Opens and then falls of the face of the earth.

The founders cup is named after the founders of the LPGA.

"The Judge" is a sacred name in the Automotive World. It was applied to a special-order 1969 Pontiac GTO that included a nifty little trunk spoiler, hotter motor and the trademark orange body paint. This remarkable collectible is show-cased in the classic film "Two Lane Blacktop" with Warren Oates cast in the cherished role as its driver. Once you watch this film, you'll know what I mean. Mongrel out.
