Forgot to mention that I was chatting with a fan yesterday who walked with Lydia's group in the morning, and he said that she didn't use a driver all day. 

 

Still trying to rid the Lead Poisoning from the driver?🤣

Rained really hard here in the distant west suburbs this morning, I'd imagine it'll be quite soggy for a few hours.  Should turn into a decent day though.

 

Roughly how many people are following In Gee's group?  A dozen?  Two dozen?

 

 

 

You live nearby and no fanboying?....what gives?

There are approximately a dozen people following In Gee's group. I think a lot of fans may have been scared away by the rain. 

 

 

Apart from people on their 'teams'....looks like no one is following Inbee, Ariya and Lucky 6....that's a lot of talent.

 

Lots following GC's feature group though.

"Super lightweight?"

Heck, I play with a 50g driver shaft.  
:lol

There's nothing wrong with it.  I play 95-100 gram iron shafts and want to try a 50 gram driver shaft.  But by all accounts I think this is "really light."  Also, if you look at the specs on some of these shafts, the stiffness progression is pretty constant between the 60-70-80 gram versions but the 50 gram version is often a lot softer (relatively speaking).  Or at least this was the case with some of the older models from 5 years ago or so.

 

Some of the LPGA players seem to be using the 50 gram models (may not be exactly 50 grams but some weight in the 5x gram range) and tipping them quite a bit (some an inch or more).  I think this is because the untipped profile is much softer but they want the lighter shaft to theoretically swing it faster.

Good to see that she is playing well again.  I had enjoyed watching her in the past

[Argonne69]

In Gee plays a KBS 50 gram high kick shaft (Stiff) in her driver. 45.5 inches.

Do you know what shafts she plays in her irons?  Nippon steel I think?

Not a person of leisure (darned job) and I didn't plan to take time off early enough.  Didn't know if fanboying would be allowed.

 

Will most likely go next year, it's a fun event.   Until then I'll have to live vicariously through Argonne's photos and the lol TV coverage.

The par 5 4th is playing like a true par 5 today. There's a stiff headwind. A gel and Cydney both came up 75 yds short with their 2nd shots.

I think that this is a player to put on the "watch list".  I believe that she is capable of turning in some good performances.  I don't think she will be a consistent Top-10 player, but she should snag a couple of wins in her LPGA career ... which given the inreasingly deep fields will be better than most players.

[Argonne69]

The wind is really starting to gust. The afternoon wave is going to have a tougher round. 

 

[Bad9]

Who knows if she makes the cut but Brooke put on a charge today.

Actually IMO she blew it, 3 bogeys on her card and all were 3-putt bogeys.  Two that I seen were from 4-5 feet and the other was probably the same.  She coverts just 1 she makes the cut or convert all 3 and shot 64.
