Why is there one asterisk next to the name of Amy Hung? I don't see an explanation on the LPGA source document you used.
Now I see how disastrous the final round of Q-school was for Christine Song (ranked 158) and Victoria Elizabeth (ranked 162). The typical LPGA tournament has 144 players or less...they'll need at least twenty players to skip every tournament to have a chance at playing. They might be better off committing full time to the Symetra tour...if they play well, they should be able to cover their expenses.
It seemed odd that Soobin Kim didn't enter Q-school, since she was 103rd on 2015 money list. But, she knew what she was doing...with a ranking of 141, that should be good enough to get into every American and Canadian non-major in 2016...and she keeps $5,500 out of the greedy clutches of the LPGA.

Yet Belen attended Q school...only to hope to gain at most .....20 spots...... which would not put her high enough for the 1st Asian swing.....maybe except for all the no-shows at the Oz event...maybe she did it to gain confidence....and ended up less cash and a WD. Belen and even Lexi should quit working out and follow the work-out routines of Winbee and SS Feng. |

As usual, the Shop-Rite will be a 100% certainty. I also must hit the USWA outside of Philly in August for at least a couple of days (maybe the 2nd day of medal play and the first day of matches). I went to the last one in that area (2003 at Philadelphia CC) and it was superb. The US Girls Junior will be at Ridgewood CC this year, but that's a hike and is probably not worth it...it was worth going when I saw it for a day at Trump National/Bedminster in 2009. The USGA hasn't announced the schedule for USWO qualifying yet...unfortunately, in the last two or three years the NJ qualifier has been at Galloway National GC on the Monday after the Shop-Rite, which is really inconvenient for me.

Glad to see Ai made the top eighty on the priority list.
Hoping she improves her standing this year.
Bummer about Belen.
Of all the golfers on that Southern California golf team.
I watched them a lot and thought she would be a can't miss on the LPGA.
I still can't believe that her game is so bad, that she can't crack the top one hundred.
Fingers crossed, maybe she take advantage of her opportunities this year.

...and I never fit the old McDonalds/LPGA in Delaware into my schedule...what a blunder on my part.
...and the Curtis Cup will be in Scarsdale, NY in 2018 (I attended the singles matches in 1990 at Somerset Hills CC, which is a drop kick from USGA HQ).
You Pac/NW guys have one advantage on me: you could watch women college golfers who are really good (in general, the women's teams in the Mid-Atlantic and NE are lousy). U. of Washington plays Sahalee CC almost every October. They've also played tournaments in Tacoma and Pullman in recent years.
I've never been to a Symetra event...I think Connecticut was the closest they've ever been to me and they don't play there anymore. However, the 2016 sked has a couple of TBD placeholders for May 16-22 and June 6-12. One of those TBDs is between tourneys at Charlotte, NC and Brockton, MA, which puts me at the half-way point.
