JJ and Operation Smile

I just noticed on the British Open web site this story about JJ.
People tend to rush the negative news about many of the players but sometimes miss the really nice things they all do.

Hi Wiefan,
I think a number of players do really nice things --I know Annika and a few others do golf clinics for kids. I believe Se Ri is involved in some children activities in South Korea. I think most nice things the players do are overlooked or they keep a low profile on purpose. Annika is my all time favorite but JJ is another class act.
