Great pics!! What are the odds that you'd get a pga tour member to stop what they are doing and pose for a picture? These ladies know they need to sell their product to the masses and see to be a little more open/friendly to the general public. The LPGA has a great thing going with the infusion of young talent. Lets just hope they handle it properly.

 

I know pitbull has taken pictures for both tours. Are the ladies more approachable than the men? I'm assuming yes.

First of all...I've got another 350+ pictures that I'm having a heck of a time getting sent to Ryan to post. Thanks Ryan for all your hard work. Guys stay tuned for what I think are some great club/bag pics.

 

As for the LPGA vs PGA. I'm was amazed how genuinely nice they are. I don't think it's an act either. They were genuinely grateful to all the fans. My buddy beruo might laugh at me but Morgan Pressell has got a new fan here in Hawaii. I don't know if the Golf Channell does a spin on the sound bites like they do with the Big Break, but she was really sweet. Yeah..might be a little hard to believe but genuinely nice. Smiled for everyone, thanked everyone for asking her for an autograph. Really good stuff from her. Creamer was another total class act. Smiled, thanked and of course provided her own pink Sharpie to autograph everything that was passed to her. Christina Kim's animation on the golf course was also evident with the public. She joked around with every one and it was apparent that many of the other women enjoyed her presence due to all the laughing that was going on the putting green with her. Gulbis took all the time in the world to sign autographs. At the 1st hole she signed so many autographs, the group was at their balls by the time she jumped in a cart with one of the course personnel to catch up. The most incredible site was Ai Miyazato. Since the tournament is sponsored by a Japanese company, there was a huge contingent from Japan that swarmed her everywhere she went. Talk about stalking, but she was bombarded everywhere. She handled it very well, giving as much autographs as she could, but she was definitely happier behind the ropes with a club in her hand. You could tell that she was relaxed and happy to play.

 

I enjoyed watching the women at the SBS last year and was really looking forward to them coming back this year. I love watching the PGA play, but they've got a lot to learn from the Champions and LPGA tournaments. It's nice to see a group instead of just a few who are happy to see you at their tournament.

Looks like Ms. Kerr got a dose of the Hawaiian Sun. Great PICS!!!!

[Punchy50]

I agree 100% with pitbull. The ladies are more relaxed and they take time for their fans. I was amazed at how close we were able to get to the players during the SBS at Turtle Bay. A few of them even walked along the ropes to talk and joke around with us. A couple of our favorites were Jenna Daniels and Katherine Cartwritght...very nice and down to earth.

What the heck is Kristina Kim doing with the HG's?!

[Oaks]

Reid - Way to go Man! Thanks for the amazing pictures!

[tmagfan2010]

post more! ;)

[irish]

Michelle Wie is really starting to develop, her swing looks so much better this year. Interesting seeing her use a V Steel fairway

[pitbull808]

post more! ;)

 

 

You forgot the please. More pics will be coming as soon as I can get them all resized and also on a computer that can load them. Between Ryan and myself, we are doing the best we can and PM's aren't going to get them any faster. It's really not as simple as you think. Just a thought. ;)

Interesting to see all the Nike irons in Grace Parks' bag... she still played her Pings after signing w/Nike a couple years ago.

 

Anyone know who the guy in the green shirt is w/Christie Kerr? if it's her caddy, it's not the same guy that's been on her bag for awhile (Worth B).

 

And, does anyone know who's looping for Juli Inkster? Not sure if she's got a regular caddy or not - her long time caddy (Greg) left her last year to go work for Michelle W. I, for one, was thrilled to see Juli ranked 10th on the Rolex list... let's hear for the older generation! ;)

Great pics. I can't wait to see the rest.

 

I went to an LPGA event at El Caballero Country Club and the pros were great. There was a tent set up after the 18th green and all the pros would stop in before they went to the locker rooms and signed a bunch of autographs and talked with the fans.

[tmagfan2010]

she has a new caddie... her old caddie is caddieing for i think ai myazato or juli inkster. and to pitbull sorry for asking didnt know the process involved.

Reid thanks for the great pics of all the Ladies. It was especially nice to hear your comments on how genuinly nice the ladies are to the fans. In my mind I don't care how good you are if your a jerk then your not worth it in my book.

 

I really enjoyed the pics of Cristie Kerr, you can be the president of Michelle Wie's fan club if I can be the president of Christie's fan club ;)

 

Once again thanks for the awsome pictures

[Riuzzi]

Great pics Reid! I really enjoyed looking through them...thanks! ;)

[Martin]

wow, thanks for the great pics!

[abewley]

wow.. thanks.. i love me some paula... and some christie kerr..

 

and grace has had the nds in the bag for over a year now..

[Big D McGee]

As always, THANKS FOR THE GREAT PICS! I'm really looking forward to seeing more. How does the course look? It was immaculate in November '05 when I played, I bet it's somehow even better!

 

Christina Kim looks GREAT! Her weight management program is really working, more power to her. I'll bet she finds that she does even better on TOUR this year.

 

Reid, your comments about the ladies "getting it" has made me decide to definitely see the Shop Rite Classic when it comes to South Jersey.

 

Morgan Pressell seems like an absolute doll! They asked her on TGC about this "Feud" she supposedly has with Michelle Wie, and she totally said the media is fueling it. She couldn't have been sweeter!

 

Edit: just got down to the last few picutures, and I must say that Christie Kerr is stunning. Don't mean to dwell on her looks, but she's just gorgeous!

[theinsider]

Thanks for the pics guys. Nice look at the packaging of the X-01 - Paula's prototype Bridgestone ball.

[helper_monkey]

Anyone else notice how much the club was in the palm of Wie's right hand in those pics? Any ideas as to what that promotes or why she would grip the club that way?

 

It looks very unusual, and I have never noticed it before (but I've never paid real close attention either).

[cogi59]

great pics

[choppy44]

Not sure about Morgan Pressels choice of clothing ;)

[GolferGal2009]

nice pictures!

 

what is paula doing with the two sleeves of balls and is that red line made with a laser pointer? christina kim's bag is pretty funny... information ambassador for a dinosaur expo? haha it's funny if it's a joke but it is hilarious if it's true!!

[Big D McGee]

Not sure about Morgan Pressels choice of clothing ;)

 

I think it's just a tad tight, but other than that, pretty much anything by Ralph Lauren looks great.

[RagingAardvark]

Great pics Reid!!!

[easyyy]

This is getting great now. LPGA Pics now? The equipment is refreshing. More indicative of "average" golfers. Thanks for the pics Reid!

[kkhere]

Great pics Reid!

[Konklifer]

Great pics. The X-Tour wedge is looks better in the vintage finish with a little wear on it. Can't wait 'til the ladies come to Newport for the Open this year.

[martineli69]

Awesome pictures... its nice to see some coverage of the ladies too...I think sometimes we get too caught up on the PGA tournaments and tend to forget that there are other awesome tours out there... I think the LPGA is on the rise with the new talent that is coming in and the new image they are projecting... they seem to be friendly and upbeat... Great for them...

 

Any pictures of Nicole Perrot? I know she signed with Puma for apparel and I'm curious tosee what their golf clothing will be like, being Puma and all... ;)

 

Also looks like Paula spent some CWord not allowed$$H on those earings... the spoils of being a succesful tour player!! :crazy:

 

Thanks for the hard work, keep it up!! ;)
