I feel if In Gee is only planning to play LPGA she may have a chance at the money list. Many feel that Dumbo is really gonna break through on the LPGA....I don't see it....I don't see her finishing in the top five 2016 money leaders....I predict 9th place.....let's see if Dumbo proves The Smiling Buddha wrong.

I wear Nike shoes and play Nike 20xi balls. The shoes are great because they spread, which make them comfortable. From what I see from my playing partners, also has low handicaps. My Nike balls performs as well as their Titleist and some cases better. But I use Ping irons and Taylor Driver and woods. My most recent golf shoes have been Nike, Adidas and FJ....but I rate FJ's on top. I find so many golf balls and have toyed around with some Nike's.....meh....I find they play 'hard'. I never use to like Callaway....but since finding many....I do like Callaway's....I really like the SR2's...found some SR1's and SR3's....but forgot to demo them in the summer. I like the Hex Chrome and the Chrome Soft is pretty good. My friend likes Srixon...so I give him all my Srixons...not a bad ball...but again...find them a bit hard. I'm indifferent to Bridgestone. I do like TM balls. But my preference is the ProV1 & ProV1x.....I've never hit a ProV that had an unexpected iron shot....e,g....some balls can be too 'hot' when unexpected. But we all know....I can hit a hole in one with a Pinnacle just as well as a ProV. But I'm a pretty brand unloyal......whether it be golf or other things. What model Ping's and TM's do you play?

HappyFan Are you Happy? www.lpga.com/news/2016-ko-spieth-maggert-voted-gwaa-releaseKo is voted over Winbee for Players of the Year from the GWAA....don't you just luv Merica? That's like voting for Jason Day over Spieth....you Yanks are so funny.....I wonder how much the Dragon Lady greased the palms of the writers. We Canucks are so much brighter...we didn't follow the USGA's new rule that rounds played alone cannot be counted as rds for handicap purposes....LMAO.

Nobody can see the future, but hindsight is 20/20.
In 2015, In Gee won about $770K at KLPGA, $450K at JLPGA and $810K at LPGA. Her total winning of $2,030K would place her No. 3 on LPGA money list.

All depends on how many tour cards Dumbo has, how high she finishes on the LPGA money list. IF she was only going to play LPGA the 33/1 on offer seems very generous for an ew bet top3, very doubtful she's going to play as much golf as Bo-Mee or Ha-Na play in a season. Also concerned with the fact she WD from 4 events at the end of 2015. She is playing for a spot at the Olympics with only the top 4 players from Korea getting a place. Was very disappointed Bo-Mee didn't show up for LPGA Q-School as feel she would have a chance of becoming world no1, hope she might as feel with a LPGA card she'd have a real chance of getting to Rio. Not too shocked Big Mumma didn't take up a tour card after how the LPGA treated her at The Open when she held the lead a few years back.

Bo Mee Lee world #1 I am aware this is seoulsisters.com, but this is just too over the top. Bo-Mee and Big Mamma want to remain as the big fishes in the small pond, cashing fat checks every week. To each their own. Not everyone has the aptitude to challenge themselves. Women's British Open was co-sanctioned by LPGA, LET and some other governing body, so it wasn't LPGA picking on Koreans. What Big Mamma did was a clear violation of the rule, wasn't even close. She happened to be in the leader group where the cameras were on her, and got called out by the usual eagle eyed Dottie Pepper.

Bo Mee Lee world #1 I am aware this is seoulsisters.com, but this is just too over the top. Fair point maybe world no1 is a bit of an optimistic statement for Bo-Mee, am not sure of scoring averages for 2015, but I expect she's close to if not better than Lydia & Inbee. Guess we will never know unless she takes a crack at the LPGA in future years. Maybe I overrate JLPGA results, am aware that there's not the depth of players on that tour but feel it's very strong at the top, I do rate Bo-Mee her higher than world no5 So Yeon Ryu & not only because she beat her to the 2010 KLPGA money list. I totally understand the reasons for the girls not moving from the JLPGA to LPGA, the girls are already treated as A-listers in Japan, the travel issues don't really exist & many events are similar price pools but only 3day events. Teresa Lu would be a better example than Big Mamma, Teresa was 3rd round leader of both opens in 2015 so no doubt she has the skills to cut it on the LPGA, but she never took the opportunity to try & keep an LPGA tour card. I didn't know it was Dottie who spotted that Big Mamma improved her stance in a hazard, I only saw Mamma's response to the two-stroke penalty & the incident itself (I thought it was harsh at the time) & have no doubt that's the reasoning behind Big Mamma refusing invites to play in major competitions since, but if Dottie called it out I don't doubt it was a violation.

But if you had told me three years ago that an 18-year-old Lydia Ko was going to get to #1, I wouldn't have believed it, either. Fact is, Lee had a truly historic year on the JLPGA. Considering in 2015 Lu and Oyama contended at Majors and Ahn won an LPGA tournament, and Lee left them all in the dust in Japan, at the very least it would have been interesting to see how far she could go...

Thanks! They mention Sei Young Kim, too! But no Ko, Lewis or Inbee? Interesting...

Dumbo is the pro I most look forward to see at Sahalee. The Yanks really want the Canadian Princess as their own....I'm surprised the Merican biased www.lpga.com didn't drool about Alison "GIMME" Lee....especially now that she's playing clubs with a bunch of screws in them. I bullish on Alison stock. She and Spieth should do a UA commercial....doesn't take a marketing rocket scientist to figure that out.

I only heard about Alison's change to Parsons yesterday. I sort of got her skipping the Asian swing to finish her education, but this club change in an Olimpic year for the 5th best Yank at the moment is a real head scratcher. I do feel Alison's swing is one of the best in the women's game right now behind Na Yeon Choi & maybe Seung Hyun Lee (I haven't seen enough of Seung Hyun to really judge her swing yet). Maybe with a near technically perfect swing the club change will not affect Alison quite as much as it would most players but it's got to have some impact on her distance control. Su-Hyun Oh is another rookie along with Dumbo am looking forward to watching, she only has partial status but was the no1 amateur in 2014 and started her pro career with a 2nd & a win last year (later results never really measured up).

The pros are nutting their shots....their sweet spot wear is the size of a quarter.....so I'm not worried about GIMME going to PXG. They can also play their old shafts....and they can have their clubs tipped, ground and bent to get them to where it feels comfortable. Parsons won't have any issue if Alison burns through some Graphite Design shafts ( $300-$400 each) and Nippon shafts to get them tipped perfectly. Alison's a pretty good driver from what I saw...ya her stats aren't spectacular....I think she'll miss her G30 the most....if I wasn't so cheap....I'd luv to game a G30. As Billy Horschel said on MD this morning...it's a change in ball that has the most effect....look at all the excuses Pouty Face had when she switched to Bridgestone....but Lewis will whine about anything. Money talks....Ping normally doesn't play their pros well.....so unless Alison was courted by Nike, TM or Callaway....PXG isn't a bad move. If you wanna see Oh...you better hope and pray she can play well to obtain a great re-shuffle...we might not see her on the LPGA tour...she's 169 in priority and after playing well as an Am...she's fallen...now 209 in RR......golf can be a cruel game...and I'm going to get out tomorrow...barring no frost delays....to get beat up myself. Huh...if you admittedly haven't seen much of Seung Hyun Lee's swing...how do you know how nice it is.....and the ball only cares how it's hit at impact. You're a funny guy....welcome to ss.com....are you Korean? I think The Smiling Buddha is the only member here who will wave the PROC flag....actually I think most ss.com members are a bunch of white guys and some muted white gals.

No am English, you nailed it perfect, another white guy who just has a liking for young Korean girls (lol). I follow woman's golf very closely as I gamble for a living & the LPGA is my favoured tour to bet on. I mentioned Seung Hyun swing because I was in a conversation about who had the best swing in the female game a few months back. Seung's name came up & I couldn't dismiss it, for such a small girl she don't half bag it, I guess that's hip rotation more than a classicly beautiful looking swing.

Teresa was a journeyman on LPGA for couple of years. I forget whether she lost her tour card or just quit. But I would think she has improved her play since those years, witness her win at Mizuno. She, not Yani was Taiwan's best player in the International Crown last year.
