Bo Mee is -2 and T16; wouldn't be surprised if she fights for a top 10 or contends.

If they ever showed the best golfers making the best shots instead of PC and her aviator shades they might actually get the ratings they are after. Who really decides who's on TV, especially the first two days? Is it Golf Channel or the company who's putting on the event (usually IMG?) Anyway, Ping has a good stylist for In Gee. Always looking sharp and fresh. I think the first two rounds should not show the same group both days. That way more golfers are shown and fans may get to see their favorite players. They can then regroup according to the Leader Board the last two days. For example, in this tournament, they may televise the same six or eight people all four days. I believe they use to set up pairing for first and second rounds pre-tournament. Which gives more players exposure. |

Always looking sharp and fresh. Yes....Dumbo did look nice yesterday. I believe IMG produces the coverage on the Asian swing and maybe the ANA...or at least I believe IMG runs the ANA event vs the LPGA. Outside the major networks that cover the majors....GC produces the coverage for the events. And the GC team decides who will be on camera and when. Did you see the Shoprite in either 2011 or 2012 when Belen and Aza were in the GC production truck helping the GC staff....it was so funny and a gong show. Last tear I was in the GC booth/truck to get Judy Rankin to sign a picture of she and The Smiling Buddha....Terry Gannon is a nice guy. |

The winner will come from this screen shot....I can't predict who might win....I'll have a better guesstimate after 54 holes.  |

The clock is ticking, 17 minutes from 1st Round 3 shot being hit.

I've never understood the fascination with Creamer. Her looks are a Wisconsin 6 California 3. Her swing is awful to watch, she has no personality and most importantly she is not a great player. There was a brief time when Paula was rolling her putts like Winbee...honest! I recalling Johnny Miller describing her swing dip as "an accuracy move, not a power move", which helped her avoid the land mines during her USWO win. |

Look at the bottom feeders...Webb, Pressel, Yani, SS Feng, Winbee.....no surprise about washed up Wie and Phil's gal, MHL. Go ahead, grind it in with your heel...but, I'm getting fed up, too. I hope Mi Hyang sent out an SOS to Puggy. She's grouped with Aza and Sakura for Round Three. BTW, I dropped by the NorthCoast Golf Show today. With a coupon, it cost $9 to get in, but you get a free year of Golf magazine as a result. Per your advice, I took a look for any T/M Jetspeed drivers, but found only two used ones and no new ones in the whole place (Jetspeed FWs were plentiful). The first one I spotted was in good shape, 10.5 with a stock 'R' shaft, priced at $100. Someone else had a beat-to-s@#& HL model (can't remember the shaft) for $99.99...no thanks. As I walked around the place, I gave the first Jetspeed a lot of thought and decided to go back much later to see if I could get the price down. By then it was gone! Maybe that was a lucky break. Near the end of the show I checked out a junk barrel of $49.99 stuff...it included an Adams XTD 10.5 driver! I assumed it was there by mistake, but the guy confirmed the price. So I gambled $50 + tax that this club will be noticeably better than my Cleveland Launcher 460 museum piece. The Adams comes with a stock Matrix HD 6Q3 Red Tie 'R' shaft. The grip is a Golf Pride CP2 Pro (Standard size), which I've never tried before...too bad it's not a midsize. The loft is adjustable, but there is no open/closed face adjustment feature. It's a used club, but is almost completely mark/scuff free. They didn't have a headcover for it, but I'll worry about that later. My only other purchase was a $10 Ray Cook oversize putter grip, a blatant rip-off of a SuperStroke grip at half the price. |

I played 9 holes with my Spalding Elite irons circa 1972. I teed off with my Ping Eye2 laminate driver. The ball did not fly too far. I used my Dad's Bobby Locke blade putter. On one hole I used a Sam Snead Wilson ball made in 1970. Makes you appreciate today's equipment.

If I played with that sh*t nowadays...I'd have to play a pitch and putt so I could reach the greens in reg.  |

BTW, I dropped by the NorthCoast Golf Show today. With a coupon, it cost $9 to get in, but you get a free year of Golf magazine as a result. I attended our golf show 2 weeks ago. I went because a friend and I were considering getting another $30 coupon book....but there was a special that if we bought a book we'd get two admissions. Considering we can golf all year and there's no cabin fever...the golf show was busy and well attended. I got two other/different free coupon books at a vendor's booth and I chin wagged with the corporate sales manager of Semiahmoo/Loomis Trails resort and he reached in his pocket and gave me a 2 for 1 green fee coupon. I bought a R1/RBZ Stage 2 B&W visor for $6. TM, Callaway, Ping, Srixon/Cleveland had demo areas...I liked the Srixon 745's...BUT my choice would be a set of TM PSI's...IMO...they have the perfect combo of forgiveness and looks. I also spent a long time chatting with the KPMG Women's Champ event program coordinator....the trophy was there....the guy says it's 50 lbs....I could not touch it (finger prints) but I tilted it...it's heavy....likely 30 lbs...it's not light. Although old news......2017/2018 venues are Olympia Fields and Kemper Lakes....all in the Chitown area.....so much for the lies that there might be some international venues....Merican racism....lol |

My only other purchase was a $10 Ray Cook oversize putter grip, a blatant rip-off of a SuperStroke grip at half the price. Phil I'm not surprised that someone with your golf knowledge knew a Jetspeed for $100 was a rip off. Wow.....a XTD for $50. I assume it's this: www.golfwrx.com/190444/review-adams-xtd-driver/I've read some other reviews....seems like this is a great driver with a really hot face.....you stole the freaking thing for $50. I've never hit one...but the Red Tie is likely a great shaft....probably better than the stock Matrix Velox on the Jetspeed. The stock grip is an Iomic....but if you don't like the CP2...spend the $5-$10 to get a grip you want. Let's face it...you're not that good to worry whether you can adjust the face open or closed. It think it's a low spin head...and unless you have a SS over 103 mph.....I would experiment to loft up. I believe a TM wrench works.....but most ranges should have a tool for you to use to adjust the loft to experiment.....I would not be surprised that the recent TM adapters work on this Adams head. Don't worry about a head cover...it doesn't help you score unless you want to be a 'poser' and have a matching head cover...I have an old TM 420 cover that I found on my Jetspeed. My dad had a Ray Cook from the late 60's along with other Ping's....my gamer is his 1970 Anser. I like Tiger Shark....GT is clearing them out for $8......I bought one last year and bought another last month as a future replacement....I had a fat Winn on it in 2014...but hated it...too fat. Kudos...you STOLE a XTD for $50.....you'll see a minimum of 10-15 yds over your 460....I also had/have a 460....it was great driver in it's days....a classic pear shape...I bought it on the Bay for $100 in 2003/2004...I can't remember what year. Oh ya....w/o even hitting the XTD....I gotta believe the XTD is superior to the Jetspeed....if you don't like it...ya wanna trade heads....lol.  |

It's a shoot out at the top, Chella Choi and Haru Nomura are both moving up.
