LPGA Tour Championship really nothing special!!!!!!!!!!

The LPGA will play it's season ending Tour Championship November 19th - 22. Which is great, the problem is they are allowing the top 120 golfers on the money list to play in it. This means currently Marisa Baena who is number 120 could be rewarded for making 7 out of 15 cuts and whose best finish was a tie for 32nd. Now if you ask me there really is nothing special here other than the fact that they will cut down to 70 after 36 holes and then down to 30 after 54 holes. Why waste peoples time and just let the top 30 shoot it out rather than including 40 other players who do not deserve to be there?

In other LPGA news, why would the players allow Christina Kim another term on the Board! She was a big Bivens supporter and fought to hide the terrible things she did that caused the tour so much grief. What are you players thinking? This girl just does not get the the concept of the what the LPGA is trying to do. She has no idea why the integrity of the game needs to come first and why golf supersedes other sports in the need for conservative intelligent promotion.

PGA ruins career of Doug Barron

The PGA made a huge error in the Doug Barron suspension and if I was Doug Barron I would make them pay. They have taken away his livelihood they have stripped him of his honor and why? Here is why, the PGA had to show people they were in fact testing for drugs! The only way for people to know they were and make it public was for someone to get caught. Does any one believe for one second that Doug Barron was taking PED's? So at Barrons expense, the PGA looks like it's making a legitimate effort to expose PED's on it's tour. They had to catch someone and why not someone insignificant to the tour. It' really rather sickening when you think about it.

Splittail picks for LPGA Mizuno

The LPGA is in Japan this week and it's fitting since the top three finishers will all be Asian.

Yani Tseng will win this event

Jiyai Shin will be runner up

Ai Miyazato will make a respectable surge on Sunday to wow her hometown fans and finish third!

Just a note to everyone, compare the smiles on the faces of these three ladies and see how genuine they are and then look at the smiles on our American girls and this will tell you everything you will need to know about why Asian players seem to taking over women's golf!!

Would the LPGA please choose Golf or Glamor

In a day when the LPGA is no longer the "Elite" women's golf tour on the planet,well except for the purses. It's becoming more and more obvious that they are moving from a quality golf tour to a glitz and glamor type tour. No longer do the beat players get the accolades (see Anika) but they go to the best looking players. I will use Natalie Gulbis as an example here. A mediocre type player who always turns in her best rounds on sunday when not in contention! Not in an effort to win mind you but to get into the top ten or 15. Like clock work you can count on Gulbis to shoot one poor and two ok rounds and then blister a 67 on sunday with no pressure on her. You can also count on the media making her out to be the greatest player since Patty Berg to ever set foot on a golf course. Who care about the fact that she could not even qualify to play in her own countries championship or that she was crushed by amateurs half her age trying to qualify. The reason, nobody wears shorter skirts or tighter shirts! Now you have players like Anna Rawson and Taylor Leon doing calendars, who are not elite player by any standard, commanding attention that should go to Shin and Miyazato and Ochoa.

Players Like Nicole Hage and Jeehae Lee who have no business playing in tournaments with Suzann Petterson and Brittany Lang are given status to do so regardless of how consistently poorly they play! No sir, I contend it's no longer about golf it's about sex and marketing. I find it sad and I guarantee you if you ask Beth Daniel (off the record of course)Nancy Lopez and especially Patty Sheehan, they will give you the very same answer. Nope the LPGA has lost it's integrity and when that happens in the golf world and your not John Daly you won't get a second chance.

Why do LPGA players think their fans are idiots and LPGA Challange!!!!!!!

Fact 1. Most LPGA golf fans have been playing golf far longer than any of the players on the tour!

Fact 2. These very same fans know the rules of golf and have per capita a higher education level than the players on the tour!

So why is it when a fan says something about the the tour. The LPGA player always replies "you don't know anything about the LPGA or it's players" Like it's some kind of rocket science. It's golf Ladies and lots of us out here can play it better than you!!!!!!

You never ever would get a reply like that from a PGA Tour Professional, They realize how hard they work to get to and stay on the tour and how much the presence of fans help their game. Not so with the LPGA! They can't handle the truth and really don't want to hear it! They think their fans are idiots and away from the tournaments they treat them like they are. Oh sure there are some genuinely nice girls on the LPGA Tour the problem is not them being nice it's that they think because they are "Professional Golfers" that they know more about the game than any fan could!
So I would like to pose a challenge to the LPGA. Pick four LPGA players ( any four) and I will pick four LPGA golf fans and we will play a small event and see just how good your ladies really are? I understand if your hesitant! When you can't control the set up or bluff the yardages it could prove disastrous. I'm here and ready if you think your women are as good as they think they are!

If that idea scares you to much here is another. You put Nicole Hage, Dorothy Delasin and Jeehae Lee and any other LPGA player you choose and I will find four female LPGA fans and you can try your luck that way. You want to call these women"professionals" lets see just how good they can play?

Pops and Sunshine, Great golf read by Dave Andrews (harvard)

I just finished a great little book about a Duramed Futures Tour rookie and her trials and tribulations of being on tour away from home but also about the joy she brings to the small towns she visits and the people she comes in contact with. Dave Andrews (Harvard 73) was kind enough to send me a signed copy and it was as enjoyable a book as I have read in sometime. It's a must read for a golf fan and really anyone who enjoys a great story. www.popsandsunshine.com is the website and I highly recommend everyone get a copy for a few hours of pure enjoyment.

Kim &Pressel Quit Tseng & Hjorth play well

Wow, I was watching the Hanna Bank via internet and I saw something I never though I would see and hope I never see again. Two members of the US top twenty "Professional Golfers" just quit, they just gave up on their rounds. Morgan Pressel and Christina Kim should have phoned it in because they embarrassed themselves the tour and the Country. I had always respected Pressel as a fierce competitor! I know better now she is a fair weather girl. The same with kim.

The conditions were poor it was wet and cold but Maria Hjorth stood toe to toe with Tseng and Choi and matched them shot for shot. You really find out about golfers during adverse conditions and now we no Maria Hjorth, Yani Tseng and Choi have heart and Pressel and Kim are fair weather no adversity type players who lack the personal pride to work and improve when the sun is not shining.
