Not even the final groups, the sun is in your eyes for hours.

I wonder if their no valet parking is causing less ticket sales. Just a clarification...did they have restaurant-type valet parking at this golf tournament? Just drive to the course property and give them your keys? I've never seen that before. For me, it's been either a shuttle bus from an off-site location, or drive to a designated area on the course property and walk to the playing area. BTW, the ANA shuttle will NOT be running on Monday or Tuesday. What if you want to see the junior tournament on Monday? This is really lame, or can you drive to the course on Monday or Tuesday? I used valet parking last year. You drove to a designated place near the clubhouse. Gave them your keys and they parked your car. I only mentioned the outside concession stands, because they are improving them. I called the tournament ticket office and they said "no valet parking this year" |

The freebee stands are the worst. Totally in the sun as the final groups come in. So hard to see with that sun in your eyes. Hopefully the new stands fix that problem. The paid stands are great but usually empty and costly. I've been five years in a row and the crowds have gotten smaller every year. The LPGA market is shrinking in North America...surprise...surprise. At the 2012 CN CWO....we had HUGE crowds.....the Asian pros were being swarmed for autographs by the practice green even on Tuesday. Last year at the CP CWO, with great weather, the galleries seem to be 1/5 to 1/4 the size of that in 2012. I was expecting very LARGE crowds....the tour has gotten deeper, Lydia won her 1st LPGA event here and the Canadian Princess won the week before. I unfortunately have ZERO explanation why the galleries were so poor. In 2013 in Portland....the galleries were a joke compared to previous years. On another note...have you had any "PANCAKES' lately? I played last Thursday and played like crap....I think I had 3 PANCAKES. In Portland...you were so scared...you stayed 15 feet away from Brooke Pancake at the autograph table because Brooke was still steaming gagging her way in after a great start to her round. B. Pancake is nowhere to be seen nowadays. But Paul was scared too.....remember he wouldn't go over and get his picture taken with Sandra Gal. |

hahaha Portland was one for the ages. I'm writing about it in my book the LPGA and Me. Whenever possible I'll use my putter or even a seven iron in those situations. Pancaking around the green is no way to go through life son. What the heck happened to her? She's hasn't been the same since that meltdown at 17 in Portland.

You know, I'd rather she not play if she is not 100%. The last thing I want is for her to miss a bunch of cuts or finish in the middle of the pack because she is not ready. Better that she rest a while longer, practice to prepare, then smoke the fields in the summer Majors.  I'm with you. However, the longer In Gee sits out, the more likely the injury is serious to the point that it might affect her permanently. In Gee injured on Monday, February 29; more than 3 weeks ago. I'd be very concerned if she's not healthy enough to play next week, more than 4 weeks from her injury. Yes, but she might be healthy enough and still not have had enough time to adequately prepare for a Major. I'd guess she'll need at least a week of solid practice to get near to the level she was at before the injury. |

Keep the fingers crossed! |

Keep the fingers crossed! I hope, that she is completely injury free when she plays. I pulled a muscle my left side once. I tried to play through it. I favored it and my swing changed and it took me a while to get it back to normal. |

She practiced in Singapore on March 1; the day after her injury. Then, she's kept a low profile until now. I'm sure In Gee and her team have been the most cautious in their decision making. |

I've been surprised that she's out of so long. Dumbo's likely 'faking' it.  ........she and her team are prepping her civil lawsuit against The Hulk's dad, Samsonite and Otis. |

In our winter muck....I've often used my putter from off the green too. Pancake has been gagging it....it just demonstrates the Yanks are better served playing the KLPGA vs. NCAA. If you don't give royalties to The Smiling Buddha from your book sales....expect to see him in court or and unexpected visit from the Triad.  |

Yep, as I mentioned in the Kia thread, In Gee is currently prepping in Mission Hills, and says she is about 80% back to normal. So far it looks like all systems go for her return at ANA. |

If Dumbo is paired with Amy Alcott, then the conspiracy to derail her career will be confirmed.

In Gee practiced one whole week the week before 2015 USWO at Lancaster; this seems to be her ritual before a major.
