I shot a 97 yesterday. The east wind got me confused. We played with a friend who plays a few times a year before the annual 24 man golf trip. Hes not a golfer at all. Guys a good athlete. Div. 3 soccer and hockey.
So 97 for me and 99 for this other fella. My other friends blew up too. 95 and 88.
We're having a beer afterwards and the CP Canadian Women's Open is on the television.
97, 99, 95, 88
The 99 non-golfer asks, with a straight face, if we could compete on the LPGA.
hahaha, he had to be joking. Do they know what an LPGA fanboy you are don? How long before their eyes start to glaze over when the topic turns to the LPGA?
The guy wasn't joking. He was really asking if he thought I could. To be honest I said yes. Just kidding.
I think the LPGA has 3 problems they should publicly attack.
1) The perception that they don't smoke the ball and throw darts.
2) The men on the PGA tour don't give the women any respect in a public way that lets their fans know how well the women play and how they respect their fellow PRO golfers. How many PGA Ryder Cup members, past and present, w/ a social media presence tweeted about the Solheim Cup before or during the event in a way that would promote it or let their followers know they cared? Ol Don might run some numbers on that one of these days. I don't follow the men on Twitter but I did look at Jordan Spieth and he didn't say jack F'in shit.
3) (this space reserved when when I remember the 3rd problem)
Last six tournaments including this one. Cut Cut 44th Cut WD Cut
Was it 2015 when she missed something like 12 cuts in a row. I wonder what's going on in that head.
The Golf Channel will be showing the men the rest of Friday. Lerner's going on about past fed ex cup champions. Makes me want to blow my brains out. It so manufactured. I do like watching Justin and Jordan though. I don’t understand why they can’t show the women again today. But then again if it’s the Mo and Brittany show, I’ll pass.
LKO is not to far behind Dieriya, she should fix her teeth now while she still has money. How can anyone be -5/-6 under with 200 yd drives? Mo must hit 200 yd 9 irons.
The Canadian Portland Princess just bogeyed the par-3 8th hole, but bounced bakck with a birdie at the par-5 9th, so she'll probably see the weekend. Overall, TEAM CANADA = TEAM WASHOUT. The only Canuck with any fire is Brittany Marchand, who recently won on the Symetra Tour and on Canada's minor league tour. Marchand (-1 overall) just picked up her first bogey of the day at #7, but is -3 for the day...one hole remaining.
****
Looks like Lydia jumped in a hole and threw the dirt on top of herself...four bogeys and one double from the 18th hole thru the 8th hole.
