https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Cczo_gV5M Great birdie, birdie finish for Gabriela. The best thing that happened to her was the Coach leaving, last four holes. Because I think that he was in her ear too much. Even when she would be ready to hit he was still giving instruction. Also great tournament for Albane Valenzuela. |

They were talking about growing the game for Women.
The Women Amateur Championship were on cable the entire Tournament.
Probably a station that most people don't get.
They missed some really great golf.
The Men Amateur will be at Pinehurst No.2
They will be televised on the local network Fox, on the weekend.
So don't pretend that they care about ladies golf.
That is just a PR-move for that course in Georgia.

They missed some really great golf.I couldn't agree more. This one was one of the best finishes of any tournament all year. They missed another opportunity to promote the women's game. |

I didn't know about the death in the family.
I must have missed it on the broadcast.
Sometimes I mute the broadcast.
My condolence to the whole family.

One of the great trophies in all of sports. Presented annually by the USGA since 1896 The Robert Cox Trophy is the longest-serving original USGA championship trophy, having been presented annually to the U.S. Women’s Amateur champion since 1896. After awarding a silver pitcher to the winner of the inaugural championship, the USGA sought a permanent trophy. Cox, a member of British Parliament from Scotland and a graduate of the University of St. Andrews, offered to donate a trophy on condition that the 1896 championship be contested at Morris County Golf Club in Morristown, N.J. The USGA accepted his condition, along with the sterling silver trophy which incorporates an enamel thistle overlay and large inset gems. Detailed scenes of St. Andrews appear on the front and back badges, while the base includes a classic tartan pattern. The design of the Cox Trophy is widely regarded as one of the finest in all of sports. -USGA |

Se Ri is the heroine and pioneer but she also has Korean conglomerates throw their weight behind her by pumping billions and billions of dollars into women's golf. Karrie has been the lone ranger, she's been shouldering her efforts mostly on her own. Few Australian companies have contributed at all. |

So what make you an expert on Korean golf.
Since you never pay attention to the KLPGA.
How about some examples, when you make those statements.
Sure they have sponsors like golfers from other Countries.
The USA sponsors spend their big money on the men golfers.
Not enough left for the fringe lady golfers.

Inside the Ropes has a good interview w/ the winner starting at 31:10. www.golf.org.au/newsdisplay/podcast-115-gabi-ruffels--zach-johnson/104267Webby might not get enough credit for being a "Si Re" for Austrian women's golf. All their young stars have a personal relationship with her and they revere her, naturally. Se Ri is the heroine and pioneer but she also has Korean conglomerates throw their weight behind her by pumping billions and billions of dollars into women's golf. Karrie has been the lone ranger, she's been shouldering her efforts mostly on her own. Few Australian companies have contributed at all. Not sure about Korea but Australian companies have contributed nothing (or next to nothing) to sponsoring young Australian players. One very wealthy man gives a million dollars a year to Golf Australia to fund the 'Rookie Squad' - men and women. Su Oh and Minjee were both in it for a few years as pros. Mind you, money isn't as important as some think. If you can't play it's no good and if you can you don't really need it - although it's very nice to pad out the on-course income. And if it was critical, Australia,England,France and USA would have the best tennis players because they have all the Grand Slam money. In Australia's case it's arguably counter-productive. |
