As of now, Larry hasn't posted anything since Nov.22...he's either not there or waiting for a call at LPGA International's parking lot. To honor the upcoming demise of the current q-school format, I thought it would be fun to start a contest on picking the top-20 at the end of Sunday (deadline is Wed. at 8 AM EST). It does not have to be in order by score. No prize...just bragging rights. I'll start...my list is a mix of head and heart: 1. Xi Yu Lin - Y 2. Prima Thammaraks - N 3. Brittany Marchand - N 4. Muni He - N.......Chinese POSER 5. Robynn Ree - Y 6. Nasa Hataoka - N.....just to spite 18majors....he's lurking this week but not posting....I guess he's practicing his 4 month sabbatical. 7. Georgia Hall - DUH.......YES 8. Daniela Holmqvist - N 9. Lee Lopez - Y 10. Jenny Coleman - N 11. Stephanie Meadow - Y 12. Paula Reto -Y 13. Mika Miyazato - N 14. Sakura Yokomine - N 15. Karen Chung - N 16. Rachel Rohanna - Y 17. Vicky Hurst - N 18. Anne Van Dam - Y 19. Jennifer Hahn - N 20. Linnea Strom - Y Christine Song and Alison Walshe are two of least impressive players I've seen, so I left them off my list, but they do have a way of crawling under the door. Phil: Are you trying to replicate the FAILED Pak Picker contest?...10 hours have passed without any participation. Your above list is simply just a fanboy list....lol. I'll make my predictions based on your list above. Oh ya...the only things worth following this week is the REAL golf at the Hero when Eldrick SNAPS his spine fusion on Thursday afternoon.

I chose to put my contest here, and not into the Pak Picker graveyard, but I guess it didn't matter. The LPGA has a live online scoreboard...Muni is going out in the last group and hasn't started yet. Robynn is -1 thru five holes. Not just a fanboy list ... I've watched Dani Holmqvist on the range at the Seaview, has a lot of steam behind her swing ... birdied the first hole, but just took a triple at #7. Christine Song set up a gofundme account for Stage III ... needed $5k ($2500 for entry fee and another $2500 for expenses) ... $350 in pledges so far. She is +1 thru seven holes ... I took a chance NOT adding the Oracle of Q-School to my prediction list. Tuesday practice for Harang Lee...she is a 5' 9'' stick who just finished four years at the U. of Georgia. She was a 75/76 shooter during her first two season, but got it down to around 72.5 during her last two. Her hometown is Castro Uridales, Spain. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcD89dkDIT-

I gave some thought to adding Annie Park to my list, but chose not to. She bogeyed her first four holes...is she still with Sean Foley? P-U

P-UHey...isn't Annie the same gal that Happyfan was drooling about to be the next Wonder Kid?...just askin. The funniest thing is Happy does his predictions without sucking on fanofseri's crack pipe. Yup....Foley is a SHAM. Oh ya...I read that SYR is seeing a psychologist in Korea....LMAO...seriously...how can someone who has never competed against the best golfers counsel another....another Korean being missed managed...SYR...go see the Merry Mex. Anyone know the over/under if Dumbo will have a front hat logo come January 2018?.....another example of poor Korean execution.

www.lpga.com/news/2017-q-school-stage-iii-tuesday-pre-tournament-notesBully is a pretty funny guy...I first ran into him in 2010 at the Hillsboro fleabag Econolodge in the motel lobby....there was free coffee and month old bagels...this was their free continental breakfast. bravedave and I also went with Bully to the Sextant Pub in 2013. If you're a Pink Shirt....I doubt he'd want to chat with you. 72 years old and still going strong....I think Fluff is in his late 60's.

How goat tracky are these golf courses when Julie Yang is Even thru 14 holes, but gets murdered out on the LPGA tour?
Larry the Looper must own a Maddy Sheils voodoo doll...she is +5 thru 13 holes.
Wendy Doolan is low dinosaur at Even thru 8...if she still drives it long like she did 15 years ago, then she might have a chance to succeed.
Can't figure out Steph Meadow, +5 thru 14 holes...she's in excellent shape and hit the ball well during practice at 2017 USWO.
I missed noticing Il Hee Lee's name on the field list...that was a mistake, now -1 thru 8 holes...her buddy A. Llaneza is -1 thru 7 holes.

I gotta believe senators like Doolan and Kane continue to want to play on the LPGA for the reason to pick up and hit on the youngsters.....why else would they throw money away traveling, registering, etc.... thinking that they can still make a living playing competitive golf. At this rate, we might see Meg, Beth and Rosie register for 2018 Q-school.

This Q-school is pretty shallow...same with the 10 Symetra grads....the REAL Ko should start writing her 2018 ROY victory speech now. If Whan wasn't such a racist...he'd just hand out 20 LPGA exempt cards to the top 16 KLPGA pros, SEXY QUEEN, SKY, Smile Candy and hottie Yoo.

18majors has been absent...I gotta believe he went to Q school.....the parking lot:
18majors..."Hi Nasa...I'd like to volunteer to caddie for you.....I want you to win and I need to shame this dbag called The Smiling Buddha on ss.com...he's been making fun of you and I all year long and I want some pay back."
Nasa..."Ok...yes you can loop for me as long as you keep your one liners of USELESS INFO to a minimum.....bravedave warned me"

Yippee, Muni finally made birdie, now Even thru 13 holes. Stop giggling, she has stepped up her game in the last six months. Based on the current scoring, she needs to pick up at least one more stroke by the end of the day. Twenty-six players are -1 or better. Realistically, a player has to think about shooting under par four days out of five to be guaranteed a top-20 fully-exempt card....and don't think about the 21-45 ranking category, that's for washouts and wannabes.
One-time tour winner S. Cavalleri (81)...it's over.
J. Granada (77) keeps burning up that big check she won several years ago.

I think I overstated what kind of score will be needed to make the top-20...I looked at the 2016 scores and they ranged from -13 thru -4, so you don't have to go birdie-crazy every round. Dori Carter made the top-20 with only two of five rounds under par (but one of them was a 63).
Round One completed:
Pos Player Name Nat. Par Score 1 Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong ●THA -4 68 1 Nasa Hataoka ●JPN -4 68 1 Hyemin Kim ●KOR -4 68 1 Gabriella Then ●USA -4 68 1 Anne Van Dam ●NED -4 68 6 Rebecca Artis ●AUS -3 69 6 Lauren Kim ●USA -3 69 6 Paula Reto ●RSA -3 69 9 Tiffany Chan ●HKG -2 70 9 Martina Edberg ●SWE -2 70 9 Samantha Wagner ●USA -2 70 9 Andrea Wong ●USA -2 70 9 Leticia Ras-Anderica ●GER -2 70 9 Sammi Stevens ●USA -2 70 15 Marissa Steen ●USA -1 71 15 Jillian Hollis (a) ●USA -1 71 15 Lori Beth Adams ●USA -1 71 15 Mind Muangkhumsakul ●THA -1 71 15 Brianna Do ●USA -1 71 15 Charlotte Thomas ●ENG -1 71 15 Daniela Darquea ●ECU -1 71 15 Xiyu Lin ●CHN -1 71 15 Marion Ricordeau ●FRA -1 71 15 Alison Walshe ●USA -1 71 15 Linnea Johansson ●SWE -1 71 15 Olivia Cowan ●GER -1 71 15 Vicky Hurst ●USA -1 71 15 Alejandra Llaneza ●MEX -1 71 15 Rachel Rohanna ●USA -1 71

Xiyu Lin needs to get rid of that caddie that Ailson Walshe fired. She has gone downhill ever since she started caddying for her. Walshe almost fired her in the middle of a round.

If you're talking about Mardi Lunn....IMO...I think Lunn is a good loop for Janet. Janet is young and I think Lunn's experience as a past LPGA pro has been very helpful to Lin to guide her through the in's and out's of tour life, course management and the mental side too. I saw them at the 2015 CP CWO and they both looked quite happy together...if Xi Yu wasn't happy with Lunn..... she would have fired her long ago. Xi Yu is an IMG gal....IMG would help her find a new loop within 24-48 hours. I luv seeing Mardi with a butt hanging from her mouth helping Janet read a putt. Xi Yu's stats were fine for 2015 & 2016......it's her ball striking and putting that have fallen off the planet this year...is she hanging out too much with Yani the FAKE Chinese?...or worse....is she a Deadbetter or Foley student?....I think Janet lives in Orlando.....I think Jenny Money is in Dallas...but Shanshan....please help Janet.

Yep...another member SUCKING on fanofseri's crack pipe....Muni is a POSER....NICE JINX Phil....Muni....74.....LMAO. I remember listening to some loops SLAM Dora the Explorer's (Granada) mom....how pathetic a caddie she is.
