My field rating for this tournament is a very solid 76%. The only non-major to have a higher rating this year was the Kia Classic.
Players not teeing it up this week include: Sung Hyun Park Shanshan Feng Brittany Altomare Brittany Lincicome Jennifer Kupcho Lydia Ko Hee Young Park Yealimi Noh
On my way there now!!

Lucky you, this is the second time in about twenty five plus years that I haven't gone to at least one Tournament.

I should keep eyes peeled here in NYC for LPGA sightings.

I don't know about having it back, it was played on a second rate course. Also they didn't Refund my four day ground Fee and Valet fee. But if it came back I would still go there for the Golfers.

I wonder if they are going to set the course up to benefit the longer hitters. By making some of the par fours and par threes longer and making par fives reachable with an iron. But usually it only benefit longer hitters with talent, not the sprayers.

I have an off day on Friday and the weather forecast looks excellent, so I'm about 95% sure that I'll bite the bullet and go. At least with a second round, I'll have a chance to see some actual trunk slamming in the player parking lot.

Based on what they posted, it looks like they will dumb down two of the par-fours at one point or another.
********
There is still one player invitee spot still vacant ... I don't know what they are waiting for.
********
Today's Monday Qualifier looked like a small LPGA tournament ... Dani Holmqvist and Olivia Mehaffey made it. Among the players who bombed out today, I saw many of them playing at Shoprite last Friday ... including Burnham, Dryburgh, Luna SG, Nagel, Kwak, Andrea Lee and Ridderstrom.

The caddie list is posted and MHL will go another week with Harry Ewing, who I heard say "confidence" just before she hit two shots from the fairways at the Seaview ... I guess he is an amateur sports psychologist as well. I have no idea why Altomare would skip this one after playing Shoprite, but at least Audrey Gerdes will land on her feet by getting a good bag in Marina Alex. Ditto for Bam Bam ... maybe she wanted to go deep sea fishing off the AC coast instead of playing golf this week. But, Missy Pedersen will stay busy getting Valenzuela's bag. Back to Marina, she had a guy named Chris Edwards looping for her all year, but I think she may have dumped him ... Marina had no looper listed next to her name when she played Walmart.
********
The Thursday-Friday groups are set. MHL gets Duncan and Meechai, two players I've never followed on-course before ... Mi Hyang and Lindy are not strangers to each other, since Duncan was once a Volvik staffer. Delacour and Belac are together again for the second straight week, which is weird.

Yikes. Shuttle parking is bad enough as it is. I checked the map, the parking lot ain't close either. Do tournaments usually allow drop-offs at the course? I might rather take an Uber. I'm having second thoughts about attending.

This is the best thing ever. Jin Young acting like a total girlie girl, yet when she gets on the course she becomes a butt kicker supreme. Also love the 4-letter words she keeps accidentally dropping. Who knew she had that in her? It's on twitter, too. Former Sonics star Detlef Schrempf comments! link
