The fact that Inbee Park did meet the criteria means that it is achievable. Hall of Fame is not for the "good" golfers, it's for the Great golfers. The 10 year window keeps the short timers out as in Yani. You need to have a great career and not a great 2 or 3 years. The LPGA Hall of Fame means something, not like the NFL, PGA, or MLB. Good topic for debate, I vote for no changes.

My issue with most so-called Hall of Fames is that they are not strictly based on fame but rather on a specific minimum level of achievement. That's fine, but change the name at least. Hall of Achievement or something like that. Fame often runs parallel with great achievement but I think most would agree that fame is its own unique distinction.
I guess what I am really trying to ask is, given all these silly performance-based criteria, where/how is the golf establishment going to give Michelle Wie her due when the time comes? Her resume might be unremarkable, but when it comes to fame, she is one of the all-time greats.

Good topic for debate, I vote for no changes. I totally agree. It should be hard and point based, never, ever voted on. Just like the player of the year, should always be point based. That way just because someone is popular, shouldn't have anything to do with it. Lorena knew the criteria for getting in... it not that she was injured. She chose to not stay the required time, so it's totally on her. |
