Amen Vin.

[DavePelz4]

Lydia has a lot of tees in her hair.

[DavePelz4]

Anyone know what's up with Jessica Korda's right wrist? It's been taped all week.

Meters, yards, fathoms, whatever just let me play there.
[/quote]Right on Vin would do anything to swing a club now

[DavePelz4]

CB did you get tons of snow? I know it's brutal cold now. I used to work in the Pru and we'd go to New Seabury to play in the winter.

[/quote]Have had to shovel my BR window twice already going to Bandon April 1st was hoping for a couple warmup rounds in either Cape or Plymouth before not going to happen at this point not mention all the snow also coldest February on record

[DavePelz4]

This coverage is so nice...tons of shots and minimal ads. How refreshing.

[mursie]

Ko is awsome. That eagle hole out after the missed opportunity on the par-5. Good stuff.

[DavePelz4]

This is a composite course they're playing. Didn't realize that.

I think the announcers mentioned she tweaked it lifting luggage or something.

I'll take them over Whit Watson any day. Kate Burton reminds me a bit of Tracy Austin.

Don't insult Tracy Austin....Tracy's a hottie!

1) Kate Burton and Sandra MacKenzie are seasoned golfers with a ton of knowledge about the game;

2) It seems the center of the universe includes parts of Canada too, eh?

1) Kate played for FSU in 1994 with Karen Stupples....look at Stupples's mug shot....lol.

Putt great find!

[DavePelz4]

Not a good hole by Jang.

[Musky]

Four shot swing. Yikes. With Lydia at the top of the leaderboard, I don't think I'd like my chances tomorrow if I was one of the other gals going into tomorrow.

He found out that there are 5 guys in North America watching the broadcast and posting and he wanted to give us a thrill.

[Mr22putt]

I'm surprised The Hulk (Ha Na) didn't do a SNaP and bury her putter into her bag after the triple.....the Korean iciness.
"That's the Spirit"

I do like Ha Na's spunky-ness when she drains a putt.

[Lou Loomis]

Could Ariya dethrone Stacy and be crowned the new queen of pouty and bitter?

[Mr22putt]

Great eagle by Amy Yang....a classy unassuming young lady.
She donated her 1st pro winnings in 2008 on the LET....approx $60k....to China's earthquake victims.

I'm very shocked she's only won once on the LPGA.

Yes, once she starts to blame every missed putt on a spike mark, buries her putter into her bag after a missed putt and publicly announces she lost an event to a lucky shot.

[Musky]

But did Ariya have Scoliosis? Stacy did you know.

Yes, Stacy handled the ending to that day pretty poorly. The moments right after holing out, with the players leaving the 18th green, were very awkward weren't they? I do think Stacy has made efforts and grown up some since then and I give her credit for that. The shot...it was lucky. Remember Shan Shan's reaction right after contact? She immediately cringed thinking it was gone. Clearing the water and getting up and down to tie would have been very fortunate; barely clearing the water, bouncing off a rock and the flag, and ending up just a few feet from the hole for eagle and the win was, well, very lucky. Nevertheless, it certainly wasn't the first lucky shot in golf and Stacy should have made more of an effort to be a gracious loser. After Shan Shan's shot and the way the crowd was that day, it would have been very tough for most humans to react in a fully composed way though, I think.

Or we could be sanctimonious toward Lewis rather than compassionate, either way... Sanctimonious is often easier.

Women's golf in Australia must not be popular.....minimal gallery.
Guess everyone would rather beach.

Temps in the upper 90's for the weekend might be keeping people away.

All tongue in cheek of course, I can live with either though I've played all my golf in meters so they make sense. Oddly enough I believe in NZ (where meters are the standard unit of measure) they mark their golf courses in yards, a friend of mine went there recently and couldn't work out why from the 100 markers he kept flying the greens..
[/quote]

on most courses in NZ they have 180, 135 and 90 meter markers which are roughly equivalent to 200, 150 and 100 yards.

there's no consensus on whether that distance is to the front or the middle of the green though. always be careful to read which it is on the back of the scorecard. so maybe that's where your friend was caught out.
