Great article Erik!

Only part I would mildly quible with would be the Fall Series not being interesting enough to watch-even if it is a given that these are glorified Nationwide Tour events what's wrong with that? I enjoy seeing who may be the future up and comers-for a golf journalist I would think that may hold some value for you as well.

however, i disagree with you about Knost. Why take a 6-month break from the highest level of competitive golf. He has a chance to get full tour membership via Q-school and if that falls, he will surely have no problem getting sponsor's exemptions.

While the Masters is a big honors, Colt needs to play against top competition week in and week out. I doubt that he will have difficulty doing that as an Amateur (which would make it harder for him to be competitive when he gets to the majors).

just wanted to say, about the new LPGA logo
i really like it, the LPGA needed a new look especially with the amount of new talent coming out, not to say that young peoples swings are much easier and fluent versus old guys
that followthrough is far from impossible actually, effortless for young people especially, maybe you just need to limber up before a round..try that next time

See, the thing is, after careful research, the graphic designers decided to throw a retro theme into their "hip" new logo. Thus the player is swinging a long-shafted square-nosed play club from circa 1868. Which, of course, pre-dates the shaft length rule.

And, it should be noted, the LPGA and PGA Tours.

I didn't realize there were the same whispers about Lorena's physique as there have been about Anika's.

There aren't. Poorly worded on my behalf, but I meant to say that perhaps some of the chat about Annika was due to her "suspect" (in the eyes of some) physical changes. Lorena does not have that "going for her," so to speak.

Plus, the LPGA Logo Woman is a cheater.

Erik,

I am in awe of your admitted geekdom. You are amazing. I suppose I should reply in the linked thread, but this will have to do. See, the thing is, after careful research, the graphic designers decided to throw a retro theme into their "hip" new logo. Thus the player is swinging a long-shafted square-nosed play club from circa 1868. Which, of course, pre-dates the shaft length rule.

Such literalness. You have got to be a graphic designer's worst nightmare as a client.

But on to other points. I agree wholeheartedly that Jack is a model captain; that Michelle Wie needs to get a life before she returns to the LPGA (a life sans mommy and daddy); and Knost is proving true the arrogant characterization by a British journalist after the Walker Cup.

I didn't realize there were the same whispers about Lorena's physique as there have been about Anika's.

Finally, since I know Johnson Wagner, I'm watching the fall series.

All in all, Erik, nice Thrash Talk.
