Dear GM
I wish to complain about the sexist article you have just put on the web site entitled Sexiest Golfers on the Planet
http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/tour/tour-galleries/12-sexiest-golfers-65183
I find this very demeaning to the male golfers who are desperately trying to overcome the stereotype that they are more than just a pretty face. Golfers like Kaymer, a double major winner, has been reduced to eye candy for cheap titulation. McDowell, another major winner, humiliated by sitting there like a piece of meat to be ogled and drooled over by the slavering masses. Jamie Donaldson, a Ryder Cup hero, having to parade in his speedos just to get some coverage in a magazine.
Even The Sun has realised these outdated attitudes are from a bygone era. It's 2015, sports people should be rewarded for their talents and not just paraded in front of us like they are in a beauty contest, trading just on their looks. Look at the battles Anna Kornikova successfully overcame to prove to the world she was a great player and not just a Russian hottie. So why had GM gone to such depths and reduced some of the greatest exponents of the game to nothing more than ladies of the night sitting in the window of an Amsterdam brothel??
And by the way, you missed Michelle Wie off the list, I'd give her one...
