MOURNERS OF THE CORNING CLASSIC, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
     THE CLASSIC IS ONE OF SEVEN TOURNAMENTS TO GO THE WAY OF THE DODO SINCE 2007.
     THE PLAYERS AREN'T BLAMING THE ECONOMY, THEY'RE BLAMING THE COMMISH.
     MORE THAN A DOZEN BIG NAME GOLFERS SENT A LETTER TO THE LPGA TOUR'S BOARD, REQUESTING CAROLYN BIVENS RESIGN.
     NO PLAYERS WERE NAMED IN THE LETTER, BUT SOME OF THE GOLFERS AT THE MEETING INCLUDED PAULA CREAMER, MORGAN PRESSEL, AND NATALIE GULBIS.
     NOBODY ON TOUR IS COMMENTING ON THE ISSUE YET, BUT FORMER CORNING CLASSIC PRESIDENT JACK BENJAMIN IS.
     HE SAYS, HE'S NOT SURPRISED.
