Is the pro golf season way too long?

Answer: yes. I couldn't help but wonder while watching the NFL today, Why exactly is the LPGA holding its season ending event the ADT Championship (which, of course, Annika won) in the middle of November? Let me see, we currently have the NFL, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, NCAA football, and NCAA basketball all competing for airtime and viewers along with golf. The only thing that sparked my interest in golf this week was the so-called cat fight between Annika and Paula, but it was way overblown, since there wasn't much of a dispute at all, let alone any hair-pulling. By the way, I wanted to thank The Golf Blog crew for letting me air this rant.
