Lexi has a GT-R.

In addition to a Vette...I'm pretty sure she had a Vette at one point...maybe sold it.

No reason not to.  She's got the Benjamins.

Lexi has created some DRAMA...but I do like her and really appreciate how fan friendly she is.

 

But I kinda think she's getting bored and tired of playing golf....seems more interested in her 'commercialization".

 

There are quite a few gals in the 24-28 age group....I expect many to "hang it up" by 30.....to start a family and do other things in life.

Sponsored by Bentley as well.

[Argonne69]

Jinx be damned, I'm going with In Gee this week. She generally plays well in sloppy/tough conditions. If the rains do come, she should float to the top. Lol.

 

Lydia is on a roll. 'Should be a factor as well.

Nope - it’s Jessica.  Nelly tees off at 12:10.

Pretty funny that Austin Ernst already won a Lamborghini - I don’t really see her as the Lamborghini type!  Who would seem to be more of a natural?  Charley Hull?  Maria Fassi?

I'll bet Austin's new husband is more excited about the Lamborghini than Austin is.

I forgot about Laura...as per above....I assume she takes it.

I believe Dame Laura has a couple of really fast cars....heck...she might already own a Lambo.

I believe on Feherty...Laura said the fastest she's driven a car is 190 mph or 190 kph???...but I think it's the former???....on the Autobahn???

 

I'm not an excessive driver...fastest I've driven is about 85 mph in AZ in 1997.

 

I think the only other LPGA pro that would be excited to win the Lambo would be Lexi...Lexi LUV's fast cars....I think she has a Vette.

Lexi's also earned a ton of endorsement $'s...so I don't see Lexi having an issue shelling out the taxable income/benefit & insurance for the Lambo for 2 years.

 

 

Only 85? You haven't lived.

I think I went past to 100 mph on northbound I-75 in Southern Georgia. 

They clocked me at 95mph on the ticket I think. 

About a month later they sent me a $200 Super Speeder ticket in addition to the original one.

And thus ended my days of going anything more than 5mph over the limit on the freeway.

[AWinfortheAges]

So Tiff Joh is back in action?

Lucky you!  Only a $200 fine.  Where we live here on Canada's pacific coast, the cops can impound your car for going 85 mph which is deemed excessive speeding . . . in some cases they have also attempted to confiscate the car as well . . . not sure whether they suceeded or if it was a publicity ploy to scare off other would be offenders.

Greens have softened up significantly given the deluge of precipitation the course received.  I don't suspect that temps in the 60s-70s is enough to dry them out. 

 

Ergo, the greens should be very receptive to approach shots.  Though, putts will run a bit slower

I'm Chinese...that's fast....about twice as fast as a typical Chinese highway driver here in China Central....don't believe me...come here to Van City to see for yourself.🤣

Only back for this last event before her LPGA retirement...she has accepted a job as a coach at a college/university in Cali.

But turtle slow for the kids and their supercars . . . road racing to Whistler or to WhiteRock at close to 200 Km/h 

[Rapidcat]

150mph on German autobarns in a BMW M3 was my fastest driving 'fun'.

 

I dwelled a little too long (mere seconds) in the outside (fastest) lane whilst overtaking some 140mph slowpoke and a big, black (they're all black in Germany) Merc 7 series came up behind me, flashing lights and nudged my rear bumper to move over....hmm, think about that.

 

Anyway, this event is shaping up to be a beauty, so many contenders.

Remember a few years ago....that Chinese DBAG driving his Audi up to 140 kph in a 50 kph speed zone and at 119 at impact killing a doctor going to work.

And Chung is a serial speeding offender....what an a*******.

 

No wonder many HATE the Chinese here in Van City.

 

And his lawyer, Fowler, is a DBAG too...saying 18 months is a LONG time to serve in jail for KILLING someone...WTF...what a CLOWN. 

 

WTF...only a 5 year driving prohibition????...he should never be able to drive a car again...the TOOL is a reckless a********.

I'm surprised the GOOF only got sued for $800000...the man was a doctor...the family will get maybe $300,000 after lawyer costs and taxes.

 

BTW...I miss the old skool deli, Kaplan's, at Oak & 41st from decades ago.

Extra fatty smoked meat sandwich, dill pickle, thick cut fries and a cherry Coke...a perfect lunch.

There's is not a good deli here in the GVRD...which is a SHAME.

He said he got an add'l $200 fine ON TOP of his original fine...I assume the original fine was hefty.

 

Getting a speeding ticket in the US isn't cheap.

Ever notice when you cross the border on I-5 in Blaine.... it's the Canadians that drive faster than the Americans...the Americans know better than to speed.

She's SNaP V3...Kupcho is SNaP V2.

[KBong]

Except for a few par 3's guarded with water...this course looks BORING...wide open fairways to spray the ball.

 

I always appreciate a tree lined parkland style courses...where there's a premium to hit the ball well off the tee.

Sheesh. So much for the anti-jinx. In Gee having a rough day. 

 

My RV lifestyle definitely has its downside. I'm camped under a tree and the stupid Dish satellite can't get a signal. No Golf Channel for 2 days. Bah.

Boooo - absolutely not.

 

She's just determined and focussed, much different from crochety and pouty.

 

Well, maybe just a subtle difference🙂

FFS...don't you learn...your reverse karma or what ever you call it DOESN'T WORK.

After 9 holes, In Gee has had 3 bogies in a row and a double bogey...WTH.

Please just play golf on your road trip...and STAY OFF the internet.🤣

 

Hmmm....Dumbo must have 'greased' Face Mask/Chin Strap Lampshade Dean Herdin well...he's on the bag this week and likely next week too.

Get a LIFE and stop being a HOMELESS golf bum.

Or is this really the next Golf Channel reality show....Arg as Mark Burk V2.

Pipe Dreams V2?

The player showing personality and emotion is an interesting one to consider.

 

I'm fine with a player exhibiting focus, determination and concentration doing their job which I view Leona as exhibiting. She doesn't b**** or whine on the course as some do and gives a nice enough interview after, so it's fine with me. Gives plenty of her time to media and causes in Ireland and you see her personality through that (and the Solheim). Watch her interactions with her caddies after she has holed out, spectators on course will see that. I suspect that we will see her lighten up a little on course when (if) she gets a win or two on the LPGA.

 

Others are much more animated - Danielle Kang? - and that's fine for their personality. Some fans like that, some don't. Lexi is very personable and expressive.

 

The ones that I find boring are those that seem to show no emotion at any stage - for me, Georgia is about the worst, just a blank look, almost always, no matter what. I guess that's just her, fine golfer, though. 

[KBong]

OK...loop talk.

 

Hmmm...so Matthew Galloway has returned onto Marina Alex's bag...I think he ventured onto the PGA tour....he was on Ryann's bag and then Wie snagged him...he really helped out Wie.

He's a competent golfer and knows his stuff...a past Big Break contestant.

 

If someone is smart...they should get him as a FT loop.

 

I think Sarah kemp and Lisa Cornwell are no longer together.

 

I've always liked Kylie Pratt...she should try to grab a better bag.

 

I was wrong and I WILL EAT CROW....looks like Derek is back on Lydia's bag....I thought Tina would pink slip him by the summer. Tina was too cheap to fly him to the BMW and the Aramco.

 

Grant Waite is on Jenn Song's bag...I think Grant lives in FLA.
