The Ladies Professional Golf Association announced that they would require that the players on the women's tour know how to speak English. This announcement stirred up quite a bit of discussion in the golf community. The Monterey Institute of International Studies offered to work with the LPGA to design a custom language-learning program to teach English and would also have a special curriculum that would include the analysis of golf match videos and an emphasis on the vocabulary of golf. The Herald wrote a positive opinion piece about the MIIS offer, stating what better school is there to offer such a program and what better location than Pebble Beach - a partnership made in golf heaven.
