Tina knows jacksh*t about golf...hopefully Jay Burton does....if they were smart they would negotiate Parsons to allow them to play other OEM driver, FW & hybrids for a year or two until PXG refines those clubs. Hopefully Lydia games a M2 or Ping G30 driver. Tina loves money.....so rather than just go back to Lydia's old ball..the ProV1....Titleist doesn't pay much....expect Lydia to be playing a Bridgestone or Srixon on an endorsement. I gotta believe Lydia had a 3 year deal with renewal options with Cally...so Tina went shopping....not much choice out there. Adidas is trying to spin off TM so who knows what will happen with TM....Ping and Titleist are known not to lay out huge bucks except for the premier guys....Lydia doesn't fit with Cobra's image well....and I'm not sure if Mizuno, Srixon or Honma would shell out for Tina. If Ms Pouty Face's Mizuno contract expired...I could see them replacing her with Lydia. Is there a single shred of proof that Lydia visited PXG for a testing or fitting of their gear in the last three weeks? That was the hot story...she was flying out to AZ immediately after the CME, but where is the evidence? You'd think a photo would have leaked out somewhere, but I see nothing on PXG's website and FB, and Ko has nothing on her Twitter or Instagram. Here's a fresh approach: Instead of Team Ko "w*o*ing out" to the highest bidder, maybe they should go to a top-notch independent club fitter and experiment with a variety of brands. It's not a crazy thought...if you looked in Karrie Webb's bag 5-7 years ago, you'd see about six different brands. Meena Lee was another one who mixed it up late in her LPGA career. Ko would be the Kool Queen of Asia next February if she showed up with an XXIO driver, PRGR FWs, Yamaha hybrids, Onoff irons, Fourteen wedges, and the Honma TW-G6 six-piece urethane ball!    But, don't change that Odyssey Two-Ball putter!!! |

1) Is there a single shred of proof that Lydia visited PXG for a testing or fitting of their gear in the last three weeks? That was the hot story...she was flying out to AZ immediately after the CME, but where is the evidence? You'd think a photo would have leaked out somewhere, but I see nothing on PXG's website and FB, and Ko has nothing on her Twitter or Instagram. 2) Here's a fresh approach: Instead of Team Ko "w*o*ing out" to the highest bidder, maybe they should go to a top-notch independent club fitter and experiment with a variety of brands. It's not a crazy thought...if you looked in Karrie Webb's bag 5-7 years ago, you'd see about six different brands. Meena Lee was another one who mixed it up late in her LPGA career. Ko would be the Kool Queen of Asia next February if she showed up with an XXIO driver, PRGR FWs, Yamaha hybrids, Onoff irons, Fourteen wedges, and the Honma TW-G6 six-piece urethane ball! But, don't change that Odyssey Two-Ball putter!!! 1) Because it's not official...I'm not surprised there's not been any cyber info on her visit to PXG....likely went to Phoenix and then headed to Korea. I doubt she got fitted for clubs on this visit...though she may have taken some demo's to Korea. Supposedly Ko is not playing till Feb in the Oz Open. 2) Na...just go to the highest bidder....pros hit the sweet spot 85+% of the time...and with all the customization nowadays....the pros can generally play with most if not all good OEM clubs. Let's not forget...shaft is 50% or more...she'll like stick with a lot of her current shafts unless the fitting proves otherwise. I think some of the most adjustment might be in the hybrids....Cally's Cup Face technology vs. PXG's technology.....Lydia hits many hybrids. A change in balls will be key from a feel perspective....especially for the putter....coming from a mushy Chrome Soft to especially a clicky Srixon...if Tina gets Srixon to shell out. I was surprised to see all of PXG's wedges have a lot of bounce....but she'll get them ground down to her liking. I suspect Ko might not be a club ho....she also was not playing the latest and greatest Cally sticks. The biggest question is how many loops Tina will fire in 2017?....assuming she doesn't hire TMac. Anyone believe Ko won't be in Gilchrist's stable? |

"Anyone believe Ko won't be in Gilchrist's stable?"
This is where Doctor Win comes in. That's probably what Lydia is doing in Korea. Getting reprogrammed.

Good. Wish somebody else would dump him, too. But she won't. For Lydia, I think Gilchrist would make the time she desired.

I have no clue why BJ hasn't dumped DL.....it's mind boggling....DL had already destroyed Bu88le's swing years ago. And the thing is...BJ was supposedly a single cap...so should know something about golf...Bo was supposedly a good golfer too. BKB...you've never been to a LPGA....once you seen MW's demeanor....you won't be a fan anymore. |

LJ is really good. The pro helps him but it's mainly genetics courtesy of Big John.

But even beyond that, I know several others who have been to many tournaments and do not share your assessment. We get it. You don't like her. |

What...you mean all the delusional Wie fanboys from wiecentral.com and Rusty's Playhouse....lol. ....it's no wonder BJ follows Michelle like a puppy dog to keep the fanboy stalkers away. Let's face it....many hardcore women golf fans are not into golf, nor play golf and don't even watch the men's tours....only fawning over specific female pros.....I bet the majority in the LPGA binder fit this profile. |

Speaking of people than are only fans of one specific player. "Brooke Fan" can only name about 3 female golfers and two of them are Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam. |
