1) No, I'd swap Lydia for Carlota.

 

2) Too bad Charley isn't playing. I'd put Nelly, Jessica, and Charley in a group behind them, and watch them hit into them all day.

 

1) Tru dat....yes....Lydia only slow plays when instructed by Tina....Tina loves her ATM.🤣

 

2) Yup...those 3 would be p*ssed....add Dame Laura Davies to that group.

I have no issue yelling at clowns on the course who play slow, entitled goofs who have no regards for pace of play....hawking balls, etc, etc.

Paul Fusco is out with Covid....Dean Herdin looping for Bad*ss.....Sei Young's nickname.

Dean has had great success with Dumbo and Ji Ya Shin....could be a lucky charm for SYK.

 

When did Dean caddie for In Gee? He was on Jin Young's back in her rookie season.

When In Gee won USWO at Lancaster Country Club in 2015.

 

 

Wow. I forgot about that.

It's not too late to have Rory Sabattini start blowing his top again over slow play (a la how he did it with Ben Crane)... and he has some cred this time to do it (eg his surprise silver LOL).    This would help me donate a little bit less $ to SBUX the next few days LOL...   Boy some of these men took ages, they went in 3's, 3 rain / storm delays the first two days... I dunno how I made it.  Skipping/muting some parts and being a zombie "watching" ISPS is how I made it, I guess...

 

 

My "national" picks:  Bianca, Yuka, and Nasa 

 

My "I'm using my head picks":  Nasa, Minjee, Inbee  (who knows what color, anything goes)

Will be there till end of the round and maybe miss by one for podium:  Hannah, Yuka, One of the Korda sisters, Matilda, Gaby, Carlota, Celine 

 

Will there be a playoff again?  I think we can bet on it... For what medal?  I dunno...

 

Course is way too easy for these pros not to have playoffs

For once with golf coverage, being in Oz is a win - early morning to late afternoon time for me.

 

Really looking forward to this, enjoyed the men's comp more than I expected.

I too enjoyed the men's comp more that expected -- thought the strength of field was "weak" and with only 60 competing, not gonna be exciting. (like, I didn't expect Pereira, Sebastian Munoz etc to be in the hunt)... Well, put this way, I was awake till 530am on Sunday here to see CT win a bronze - no doubt helped by the fact that I am a Hideki fan LOL ... was awake every night to 330am  to "dry run" for the women's event...   

 

Those 3 weather breaks first 2 days were a "killer" though -- ruined my diet and the workouts the next day were way tougher LOL... (i mean, how do i eat healthy at 2am? - no sandwiches or fruits... bring out the... CHIPS!)

I'm surprised that the Good Doctor...Dr. Won Park has never had to step in at the last minute to loop for Dumbo because of a caddy issue.

I was LMAO when In Gee's mom was carrying an umbrella to guard/shield Park's pasty white face against the sun.

 

Didn't you chat with the Good Doctor recently....kinda surprised he travels so much considering he owns a golf prison/academy in S. Korea.

Yeah, I chatted with the good doctor while walking with In Gee's group for two rounds at the Meijer.

Feeling very sad and heartbroken for my friend Paula Reto.  She has been dancing on the edge of keeping her LPGA status but been playing well lately.  She made the cut at Evian, but had to WD after testing positive for COVID.  That also meant she would not be able to represent South Africa in the Olympics....Only to find out she has been shut down by a false positive.  Sigh.

Nasa Hataoka - Gold

 

Jin Young Ko - Silver

 

Inbee Park  - Bronze

 

Saso starts strong and returns to the pack.

Aditi Ashok recalls good memories of 2016, finishes top 8.

 

Mone Inami was the hottest womens golfer on the planet earlier this year. Interested to see how she performs. 

 

"Has a dog named Rio." beats "named because her parents wanted her to go far" as most uttered phrase.

Who did this pairing? LOL...  Yuka and Lexi part 2?  Side bonus of Brooke - will this be a long(er) night for us here in the East Coast bec of this?

 

They got it WRONG.

 

Should have paired Lexi with Yuka and So Yeon Ryu....you know the pro that stole this trophy away from Lexi in 2017.🤣

Olympics and the Solheim Cup are two most important events to the growth of women's golf.   Because, more than US Women's Open, these events bring casual fans to women's golf.

 

I don't know who'll medal this week, but hopefully both Americans and Europeans are well represented.  It'll serve to intensify the Solheim Cup in four weeks time.

Wouldn’t it be an interesting storyline this week, if Sungjae and Si-Woo Kim got a second chance at a reprieve, from military service ...eg if InBee/ JYK/ SYK/ Hyo-Joo Kim could declare upfront “if I win an Olympic medal 🥇🥈🥉 for South Korea 🇰🇷 ... then my wish would be for SungJae/SiWoo to get a reprieve/ exemption from the mandatory 2 years Korean military service”... (Kinda like Mulan 👧🏻... the female gladiator representing the extended family, on behalf of a less-able male 😀🚫🤬!)

SYR didn't even qualify...that is how "tough" it is to represent women's Korean gold team even if they allowed 4 representatives from S Korea due to their rankings...

There's a lot of countries right now with more female medalists than men... Canada and the Philippines being a few. Hey this may happen in golf too lol... And wtf I have / am living in both... No sh!t, need to move south soon , covid be damned
