Thanks for the clarification. The relationship between PPA and USPMGA seems to be much warmer and closer than has been previously understood in Europe. Which is great to hear.

What I mean (and understand the situation to be) is that PPA has never (before) shown any interest in avoiding date conflicts between PPA and USPMGA majors, even when they were directly asked to do so (by some PPA players who want to play the majors of both organizations, and hate to miss a major when these two have a major on the same weekend).\r\n\r\nNow that USPMGA reschedules a major because of a date conflict with a PPA major, this is a new situation: at least one of these two organizations (USPMGA) has changed its attitude, and started doing something to avoid date conflicts between the major tournaments of these two organizations.

Good to hear that there is some tango going on between PPA and USPMGA, even if PPA remains the more passive party what comes to mutually reasonable scheduling of major events.

JJM, not sure what you mean when you state \"PPA remains the more passive party what comes to mutually reasonable scheduling of major events.\" The only reason the USPMGA would reschedule their date is because over half the field would not attend if the event conflicts with a PPA major.

No, it was a different email from November 28th, which was a response from an email exchange I had with him regarding a scheduling conflict with the May 15-16 weekend that he originally was going to use. It was directly in response to my email that he moved his tournament to the May 8-9 weekend instead of the originally scheduled May 15-16 date. The PPA is currently planning on having a National Tournament on the May 15-16 weekend thus he would lose a lot of PPA members that would have come to Myrtle to play if he scheduled on the same weekend as a PPA National event. \r\n\r\nRegardless, the tournament is now scheduled for May 8-9th.

Yesterday USPMGA announced that their World Putters Championship 2010 is cancelled, but they plan to organize it in 2011. No reason is given for the changed plans.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.prominigolf.com/events.html
