She's not in final field. Was she entered earlier?

I don't blame Natalie for dropping out...having a schedule that goes to Canada in between NJ and NY is nuts...and even nuttier if you're stuck playing Galloway on Monday and Tuesday. She was with her hubby at Seaview and they're probably enjoying a relaxing week in NYC now...good for them.
Volvik cutie Victoria Elizabeth has come off the alternate list and will be grouped with Sarah Kemp & HK Seo for the first two rounds...don't know who she replaced.

I'm disappointed Gulbis bailed...she has a lot of fanboys and fangirls.....I don't think she's played the Manulife. Oh well, Gulbis is basically a P/T celebrity golfer for the last 5+ years.

www.lpga.com/tournaments/manulife-lpga-classic/pairingsThe pairings are boring, as often the case.....the LPGA should 'fix' the pairings for better viewership. They should pair Brooke, her sister Brittany and another Canuck. I have said many times they should ALWAYS group on Thurs/Fri...the 3 Spanish Killer B's....Aza, Belen & Beatriz. For drama...they should also group Xtina with Caroline Masson and Crusty Kerr and Dame Laura. I'm sure there are many other interesting groups that could be created. If I only had one group to follow it might be Aza, Ariya & Ryu...OK.....The Rocket, Laura & Sandra too.

Maybe 10 years ago we happened to be having dinner in the same restaurant as Natalie after the season ending tournament at Trump Intern'l. She left her group to go check TV at the bar (dating that QB at the time?), so I thought I would congratulate her on her good year (that was when she had good years). So I said my congrats and was going to head back to the table...and she engaged me in conversation, questions, etc for about 5 minutes! Very impressed, and I understand that was very common with her. Great ambassador for the LPGA.

In regards to the "boring" pairings, who don't you want to see on TV? So many champions on tour. Tough competition deserves different pairings for each competition.

Her dad, John and I spoke once at a tournament and he introduced me to Natalie. She was asking me about my golf game, etc. I kept asking myself why is this girl even bothering with me? She is beyond a class act. It's not her fault she is good looking with a great personaliity.

Yes....expect some good galleries at Whistle Bear....but the CP CWO I fully expect will have larger galleries. Grey Silo was poorly laid out for spectators. The clubhouse and some of the 1st few holes were up to 1 km from the other part of the course and no shuttle. Supposedly no one wanted to host Manulife. To bad they could return to Westmount where the DuMaurier was played in 1990. it's a shame the LPGA can't get the gals onto St. George's, Hamilton Golf & CC and Glen Abbey where the Canadian Open has been held. I hope they don't tame Whistle Bear....the posted yardage for 18 is around 431 yards (blues)....I hope the gals don't play the white tees. I don't expect Brooke to win for a while.....she's still too inconsistent and it will take some more experience to learn to close it out on the final 9 on Sundays.

Great ambassador for the LPGA. Gulbis has dated Ben Roethlisberger (Steeler's QB) and has also dated Dustin Johnson too....don't all women luv the LONG BALL? I've seen Gulbis play many times....she's PURE CLASS......genuine and not phony unlike some of the other Yank divas. Gulbis's husband, Josh, is also a really nice and personable guy....heck the guy even remembered my name when I saw him on Sunday at the 2013 Safeway.

John is a pretty nice guy...I've chatted with him a few times....rough around the edges though.....Barb is really nice....but quiet. So did Natalie banish dad, did he divorce Barb....or did he pass away?....Natalie will tweet about mom....but I've yet to see any mention of John. I saw Barb in Portland in 2013....no John......John often came up to Portland with his Cali friends.

When they first showed the course layout. I knew there would be lots of low scores. When will the LPGA start making par fives again. These par fives are a joke.

Something tells me that Golf Channel will devote a little more time than usual on the LPGA on tonight's recap show.

These easy courses have to go. These birdie or bust tournaments turn into snore fests.
