To me So Yeon is in the fastidious & meticulous group, Minjee, So Yeon, and Creamer.Don How many Hite beers have you consumed tonight. Huh???...WTF...the Pink Diva....you're kidding....right?  Have you see Creamer at any events? She's one of the more stuck up gals on tour...she doesn't think her sh*t stinks......also very phony too....go see for yourself. Hopefully Minjee will enjoy her time with Ai-Chan and ignore the pouty face and putter slammin Lewis. I stand by it. All three of them dress like they are in the military color guard. Hull looks like she's wearing my grandpas boxer shorts. Korda is an adidas drone, they all dress off the rack. |

Don
Charley's dad is the anti-BJ....he keeps on reminding Charley to enjoy her youth...as it only occurs once....that's why they continue to reside in the UK...so Charley can hang with her mates.
I asked her dad if he reviews her day's play at dinner...he said no....it's Charley's game and she's gotta own it and learn from her mistakes on her own....a very nice gent to chat with.
Another one who balances her life and doesn't play too much and seems to have minimal parent interference is Korda.....I've yet to see her dad at an event....Korda's best gal pal and sometimes tour roommate is Jodi Ewart.
I think she was only 18 at the time and Korda went to Oz on her own to play and nearly burned down the apartment she was staying in cause she left her hot plate on.

Asako Fujimoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BE9n0J_GhIc ******** UPDATE: I guess Sue Kim's inclusion on the field list was a temporary mistake at lpga.com, or I read it wrong...she's playing the Symetra event this week with 143 others in Greenwood, SC. |

I'm sure he'd like to think that, anyway. But you can't teach grit, and In Gee has that in spades. |

Some of the best female golfers in the world are playing this tournament even 18-year-old Brooke Henderson, who is now number five in the world. "I remember being here last August and finishing 13th, I believe. It was definitely a momentum booster for me," Henderson says, with her sights set firmly on becoming number 1. "I still have four more spots to go, so hopefully with a win this week, I'll get there." www.wtvm.com/story/31886993/yokohama-tire-lpga-players-looking-ahead-to-tournament-play |

Larry the Looper will be in the neighborhood, but doesn't have a player. From his blog....I guess the red neck people from Bama don't like seeing the black haired yellow skinned pros dominating, contending and monopolizing trophies on the LPGA. 'Was talking to a couple of volunteers about the “new look” on tour. It wasn’t good. Enough said about that." |

Yes! Thanks You! I've only been saying this for years!!! (As I've said before, get your news and info here, or wait a while until the rest of the golf media gets a clue!  ) I like this quote: (He doesn't want to say because it's probably a good deal more than half... ) |

(He doesn't want to say because it's probably a good deal more than half... ) Everybody is coming around to your way of thinking, Happy! The next step is for the Golf Media Industrial Complex to believe that ROK Stars can be stars in America along side Wie and Creamer. They literally think it's not worth promoting them because some fans can't handle it. It's really sad. They should be thought leaders on it, not following the lowest common denominator morons that watch their shows. |

I can't complain about the way LPGA, Golf Channel and American Golf Media have been treating In Gee. They've already put her on a pedestal alongside Lydia, Lexi and Creamer. This is extraordinary considering: 1. In Gee hasn't won as a LPGA member yet 2. Although her English is accelerating, it's still not her strength I've high hope if In Gee manages to win either Women's PGA or USWO or both, that her profile in the US will start to creep toward her standing in South Korea. |

I agree with this. I'm having less and less problems w/ the broadcasts. People we're hounding them to put In Gee on TV tho. They were pretty clueless the first couple of events. My beef is with like morning drive and a lot of the promotional stuff that's just Solheim players. |

As a McIlroy fan, they'll mention him at least ten times a day even if he isn't playing. Gary Williams, Cara Robinson, Damon Hack and Charlie Rymer know everything about PGA; nothing about LPGA. The issue is LPGA. LPGA is a minor league because of the pathetic prize money they play for. USGA should lead the charge and has a US$10.0 million prize money for USWO, the same as US Open. With time, other LPGA events will ratchet up. |

If the USWO wants to play for a $10M purse they should earn it and not ask for a hand-out or subsidy from the USGA or the revenues generated by the USO. What how many people will show up at Oakmont and the TV viewership of the USO vs. the expected minimal attendance at Cordevalle. |
