QSeries 2021

[18majors]

 

Regarding China, the younger Yin edged out the older Yin for solo second.  Good luck to Xiaowen for nothing but successes at 2022 Symetra Tour!

 

Congratulations to the medalist, Pauline Roussin Bouchard, she's obviously the class of this Stage II tournament!

Pauline and Xiaowen:

It looks like both Pano and Xiaowen Yin will make the top 45 and will not be eligible to advance to Q Series due to age. 
 

I am assuming both will take Symetra Tour membership in 2022. 

If they do decide to join the Symetra tour....Xiaowen better start s*cking up to Rick...so she can travel with them...Rick acting as her chaperone and more importantly...to share the cost of those Motel 6 stays....not much money to be made on the Symetra unless Xiaowen starts shilling the LOVELY Meng Wanzhou and obtain a Huawei sponsorship to offset travel costs....Xiaowen in return can help capture some intelligence on how and where Huawei can set up their 5G network in the US.🤣

I don't have an issue with a minimum age to play golf on a professional tour.

 

The joke and contradiction is that both are too young to play on the LPGA tour (a pro tour) in 2022...yet are eligible to play the Symetra tour (a pro tour) in 2022.

 

If Mollie decides to work and come out from under her rock...IMO...she should just change the policy that any registrant to Stage 1, Stage II or Q-Series be 18 on the date that Stage 1 begins.

Motel 6 stays

 

 

Are you kidding, Alexa will be loaded from Day 1 with all kinds of endorsement.

 

As a Chinese Canadian, it's a shame that you don't know how big Xiaowen Yin is in China.  I wouldn't be talking about her from Day 1 if she's a nobody.

Every country has their national sporting heroes, that doesn’t mean they’re any good currently on a global stage.

To each their own and their money...but I wouldn't be backing POSER Pano at this time.

 

The only thing Chinese in Van City I care about.... is finally going out for dim sum recently, going to my fav Chinese slop house for take-out ($6.95 two topping on rice), bumping into and chatting with the 90%+ Chinese shoppers at Costco...yes I was stupid to go to Costco on a rainy Sat afternoon yesterday and waiting in all the OUTRAGEOUS line ups.....the only parking I could find was 300 yards away from the entrance...WTF......and reading the news on the LOVELY Ming Wanzhou.🤣

 

I don't look up on anything on the CLPGA and rarely the WAGR....would rather play golf instead...ASSUMING it doesn't RAIN...which hasn't been the case for the last 4 weeks....WTF.

 

I'm a FAKE Chinese....a Chinese with a Canuck passport...a BANANA....all my HS friends still see me as a WHITE BOY.🤣

What did I say would happen to the Mexicans? 7 started the week, only 1 advances to Q Series to join Fernanda Lira qualified from the Symetra Tour.  The country of Paraguay (7 million) have 2 advance to Q series. Lots of players who had been proclaimed Rookie of the Year next year(Mehaffey, Ruffels) , did not

advance. 
 

Players like Daniela Darquea and Kim Kaufman return to the Symetra Tour full-time and not necessarily with the best status. 

Mexico s*cks🤣

 

Canada >>>>> Mexico

Five Canuck enter Stage 2...three exit to play Q-Series.

Is that Amy Olsons's caddy on her bag?  A bit blurry but kinda looks like Taneka.

Good catch Magic...yup looks like Taneka.

China knows how to get the best help.

I bet other LPGA & Symetra loops worked Stage 2 and likely will also be at Q-Series.

Really happy to see 2 players I'm very close with, Virginia Elena Carta & Alexa Pano play well.

Virginia , a brilliant student, took time off from golf to secure advanced degree in Europe. Was close to being Rhodes Scholar. Just an exceptional person, and talented player.

 

Saw Alexa about 2 months ago when she stopped by CCNC to practice. She was candid in explaining that she threw 2021 away to make numerous  changes in all parts of her golf game, choosing now instead of as adult. She predicted she would do well in Stage 2. Watching her practice, ridiculous. Serious talent.

Alexa Pano

“I think right now my game plan is still amateur,” said Pano, who closed with a 67 to finish at 9 under for the tournament."

[HMHS]

for those "interested" and can do so -- follow Qseries on live streaming at WOWOW TV... (not a joke) - now whether they cover the others or just Shibuno's flight remains to be seen (i think only her flight, if you ask me)

 

Addendum: Ayake Furue is also heading to QSeries

in addition to shibuno ... is there also a reference to “Furue (Ayako? Ayaka!)” in that tweet 🐣?

Thank you. I am assuming Pano still can play in Symetra Tour events right even as an amateur? She just cannot take any price money.

Glad you seem to be ok and not drinking so early in the day, now that your gal pal, Nelly lost her #1 ranking to the FUTURE of women's golf...JIN YOUNG KO.

 

So will Nelly show up in a Squid Game costume with a Q-Cells visor when she makes her BIG announcement on Oct 31 in LA?🤣

I'm not surprised with this.

 

I assume you have attended LPGA events and seen a golf cart roaming around with someone with a camera filming and following the Japanese LPGA pros...this group also did post rd interviews with the Japanese LPGA pros too.

 

In the past they were working for NHK.

Interesting, Alexa will play Symetra Tour so she can be promoted to LPGA; but, she won't bother to pick up those $18,000 - $30,000 winning checks.

LMAO...you are so funny.

Fawning over all these young gals claiming them to be the next LPGA superstar.

 

Winning on the Symetra isn't a sure thing.

A WRX member wrote years ago that even Ariya wasn't a sure thing to successfully LPGA Monday qualify against a bunch of scrubs prior to her joining the LPGA....he wasn't wrong.

And Pano is no Ariya.

 

If Pano is so great then why is she ranked #93 in WAGR???...ya ya....she said she's been working on some swing changes...but a slide that far is SIGNIFICANT.

So what has Pano's highest WAGR been in the past?

Proven LPGA stars have always consistently stayed in the top 10 WAGR rankings when they made it....and mainly stay top 5.

 

Rich???...I assuming Rick is carrying a heavy debt  load....travelling and funding Alexa's golf for many years already...unless Rick has already made his pot of gold...but I'm not so sure about this.

Unless Rick has shilled many people to already 'invest' back up Alexa.

 

You give the impression you've got some coin...why not be a Pano "investor"???..... as you believe she's a SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING.....you'll get a great ROI for your money.

 

With the new Am rulings...so what's Pano waiting for from these big endorsements?...LOL.

no I’m not surprised in the JLPGA sense.  Heck Hideki would be wondering why only 1 network LOL.    This is actually good (for me) since QSeries in the past were not covered -- heck the leaderboard updated so slow then...

Seems to me the rules now allow for endorsements to Am's:

 

"The USGA and R&A announced Monday proposals to the rules of amateur status in golf, one of which would allow endorsements to amateur players.

 

Citing a need to modernize the current system, the governing bodies tweaked a series of provisions in the sport while adhering to the principles that constitute amateur status. Some of the notable proposed changes include:

 

-Eliminate all sponsorship-related restrictions.

-Remove any restrictions on how an amateur may benefit from his or her name, image or likeness, including but not limited to the receipt of expenses."

Right, non-collegiate golfers have to wait until January.

I think Pano goes pro after Augusta. This year there were only two Symetra events before.
