Female golfers angered by strict new dress code banning 'plunging necklines' and revealing skirts

A strict new dress code for female golfers has proved controversial with players banned from wearing plunging necklines, leggings or revealing skirts on the course. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) was accused of “slut-shaming” female players after introducing new rules that crack down on players’ choice of clothing. As of this week, LPGA Tour players have been told that several items are now banned on the course, including skirts or shorts that reveal the “bottom area (even if covered by under shorts)” at any time, standing or bent over, cut-offs or jeans with holes and jogging bottoms. Racerback tops are only allowed if accompanied with a collar. Female golfers like South Korea's Park Sung-hyun have been warned to dress conservatively Credit: AP The edict was met with an overwhelmingly negative reaction, with Teen Vogue, the influential youth magazine, saying the dress code had set women “way back”. An email sent by player president Vicki Goetze-Ackerman warned players they would face a fine of $1,000 (£765) if they breached the new code. After the first transgression, the fine will be doubled after each subsequent breach. Players were told that it was their “job” to notify their clothing sponsors of this new policy. I'm not sure a stricter dress code will help golf's appeal but I do wish Tour pros would use more four-letter words, especially "FORE"! ��- Matt Blackey (@mjb_1971) July 15, 2017 Heather Daly-Donofrio, the LPGA tour’s communications and tour operations officer, told Golf Digest: “The dress code requires players to present themselves in a professional manner to reflect a positive image for the game. “While we typically evaluate our policies at the end of the year, based on input from our players, we recently made some minor adjustments to the policy to address some changing fashion trends. The specifics of the policy have been shared directly with the members.” Former European men’s tour player Matt Blackey was sceptical of the new rules, tweeting “I’m not sure a stricter dress code will help golf’s appeal.”

    [h=3]The solar-powered Tertill robot keeps weeds in check[/h] This September marks the 15th anniversary of the first Roomba - but in spite of the device’s massive popularity, no companies have managed to successfully follow in its footsteps with another mainstream home robot. The Tertill, however, could be the product to change that, drawing on a number of the Roomba’s lessons and applying to to an outdoor setting for regular garden maintenance using a small, built-in weed whacker. A number of employees are ex-iRobot employees, including Franklin’s CTO Joe Jones, iRobot's first full-time hire, who played a key role in the Roomba’s creation.

[h=3]Why Is The LPGA Introducing A Stricter Dress Code For Female Players?[/h] The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) is tightening up its dress code in a way that's got a lot of people scratching their heads. According to Golf Digest, LPGA Player President Vicki Goetze-Ackerman sent out an email to golfers on July 2 informing them that the dress code would be changing as of Monday, July 17. Goetze-Ackerman ticked off the items the women would no longer be able to wear on the green, including plunging necklines, joggers, leggings by themselves (they can be worn under shorts or skirts), and racerback tops without collars.

A rain of used needles??? :rain:.....:scared:


 U.S. Yahoo News Photo Staff
Needles everywhere: Drug crisis creates pollution threat

They hide in weeds along hiking trails and in playground grass. They wash into rivers and float downstream to land on beaches. They pepper baseball dugouts, sidewalks and streets. Syringes left by drug users amid the heroin crisis are turning up everywhere. In Portland, Maine, officials have collected more than 700 needles so far this year, putting them on track to handily exceed the nearly 900 gathered in all of 2016. In March alone, San Francisco collected more than 13,000 syringes, compared with only about 2,900 the same month in 2016. People, often children, risk getting stuck by discarded needles, raising the prospect they could contract blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis or HIV or be exposed to remnants of heroin or other drugs. It’s unclear whether anyone has gotten sick, but the reports of children finding the needles can be sickening in their own right. One 6-year-old girl in California mistook a discarded syringe for a thermometer and put it in her mouth; she was unharmed. “I just want more awareness that this is happening,” said Nancy Holmes, whose 11-year-old daughter stepped on a needle in Santa Cruz, California, while swimming. “You would hear stories about finding needles at the beach or being poked at the beach. But you think that it wouldn’t happen to you. Sure enough.” They are a growing problem in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, two states that have seen many overdose deaths in recent years. “We would certainly characterize this as a health hazard,” said Tim Soucy, health director in Manchester, New Hampshire’s largest city, which collected 570 needles in 2016, the first year it began tracking the problem. It has found 247 needles so far this year. Needles turn up in places like parks, baseball diamonds, trails and beaches - isolated spots where drug users can gather and attract little attention, and often the same spots used by the public for recreation. The needles are tossed out of carelessness or the fear of being prosecuted for possessing them. One child was poked by a needle left on the grounds of a Utah elementary school. Another youngster stepped on one while playing on a beach in New Hampshire. Even if adults or children don’t get sick, they still must endure an unsettling battery of tests to make sure they didn’t catch anything. The girl who put a syringe in her mouth was not poked but had to be tested for hepatitis B and C, her mother said. Some community advocates are trying to sweep up the pollution. Rocky Morrison leads a cleanup effort along the Merrimack River, which winds through the old milling city of Lowell, and has recovered hundreds of needles in abandoned homeless camps that dot the banks, as well as in piles of debris that collect in floating booms he recently started setting. He has a collection of several hundred needles in a fishbowl, a prop he uses to illustrate that the problem is real and that towns must do more to combat it. “We started seeing it last year here and there. But now, it’s just raining needles everywhere we go,” said Morrison, a burly, tattooed construction worker whose Clean River Project has six boats working parts of the 117-mile (188-kilometer) river. Among the oldest tracking programs is in Santa Cruz, California, where the community group Take Back Santa Cruz has reported finding more than 14,500 needles in the county over the past 4 1/2 years. It says it has gotten reports of 12 people getting stuck, half of them children. “It’s become pretty commonplace to find them. We call it a rite of passage for a child to find their first needle,” said Gabrielle Korte, a member of the group’s needle team. “It’s very depressing. It’s infuriating. It’s just gross.” Some experts say the problem will ease only when more users get treatment and more funding is directed to treatment programs. Others are counting on needle exchange programs, now present in more than 30 states, or the creation of safe spaces to shoot up - already introduced in Canada and proposed by U.S. state and city officials from New York to Seattle. Studies have found that needle exchange programs can reduce pollution, said Don Des Jarlais, a researcher at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai hospital in New York. But Morrison and Korte complain poor supervision at needle exchanges will simply put more syringes in the hands of people who may not dispose of them properly. After complaints of discarded needles, Santa Cruz County took over its exchange from a nonprofit in 2013 and implemented changes. It did away with mobile exchanges and stopped allowing drug users to get needles without turning in an equal number of used ones, said Jason Hoppin, a spokesman for Santa Cruz County. Along the Merrimack, nearly three dozen riverfront towns are debating how to stem the flow of needles. Two regional planning commissions are drafting a request for proposals for a cleanup plan. They hope to have it ready by the end of July. “We are all trying to get a grip on the problem,” said Haverhill Mayor James Fiorentini. “The stuff comes from somewhere. If we can work together to stop it at the source, I am all for it.” (AP) See more news-related photo galleries and follow us on Yahoo News Photo Twitter and Tumblr.
