A nice accomplishment, regardless of how Michelle Wie and women's golf are perceived on this forum. This was definitely a much needed win for the LPGA tour. Good to see this, since the only threads I could find about women's golf here were about two DQs (disgraceful behaviour) and Erica Blasberg's suicide.

She won a tournament, "you know!"

I think we forgot to make a thread about the discrimination thingy a week ago...

Got her driver's license? I thought winning the Canadian Women's Open was her first LPGA win, but I guess she won a tourny last year too. Its painful hearing her talk, but she looks prety good hitting the ball...

Good win by her...I was flipping through the Canadian Womens Open, the Barclays and the US Amateur and it was good to see her win.

The LPGA really needs to bolster its brand. The website's crap, and when I tried to find Wie's hole-in-one all I could find (from a Google Video Search) was someone's upload with a video camera of a TV broadcast and well, lousy quality...

I'm looking forward to her next phone interview with Mike Richards.

Dont think so, otherwise the Golfchannel would have had a 30min special on that - afterall it has to do with driving "you know"

meah... it's not that men are sexist, cause some guys actually do watch lpga golf. it's just that women's golf just isn't as good as men's, so they don't watch it. my gf hates watching women's golf. if you had tickets to see the laker's or the spark's, but you could only choose one, which would it be? of course it would be the lakers, get off your high horse and quit being self righteous, it's unattractive.

anywho, it's about time she won something. wasn't she supposed to be winning the master's or something by now?

Well, she's won a tournament in each of the past two years now while still attending school full-time. And she's still only 20 or whatever.

High horse? Easy now. I erroneously thought this was her first win, which would be a pretty big deal considering the previous hype. And yes, the PGA Tour is obviously superior. On the other hand, Michelle Wie looks better than Matt Kuchar. And I watch female curling too.

Nice to see her win. She's one of very few Americans to win this year on either tour, too. And it doesn't seem as though she's capable of pulling off a professional win in the U.S. yet -- she's done it once in Mexico and once in Canada.

Ha, good point. She's got the U.S. surrounded now!

I actually like watching women's golf. I can't hit 300+ yards like the PGA guys, so it's interesting to watch how the ladies play the course differently. Wie is going to school and on the tour at the same time. That's a lot on her plate, so it is a big accomplishment. She'll win in the US where the course requires a long hitter.

On facebook, Nike Golf was saying Wie averaged 290 yards off the tee with their VR Tour Driver to win the CN Canandian Open!!! 290 yards average? Crazy.

I'm happy about this, women's golf needs her to win I think,...
I had a pro tell me to watch her finish her swing, the best finish in golf, men or women he said,...

That could be true, but does that help with ballstriking? I like her interview finish - like when she isn't talking any more.

You see this kind of finish in a couple of female players (dont see it much in make players though) - and i wouldnt advise to try it, you might break something (seriously), and just cuz you make the club point 30° left of your target wont help your ballstriking one cent. And trying to create finish positions in general isnt a good idea, they come naturally from what happend before.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
