Not much love for the LPGA here, or maybe I don't see the thread?

First major done for the ladies, and it all came down to an approach, just like the Shell Houston, doesn't it always?

Bad deal for Lewis being in that sand-filled divot, I think it's time to change the rule and allow free relief, it's ground under repair, silly.

The look in her eyes after that feeble chip was pure rage, Stacy probably trashed her hotel room, I don't know how these pros keep their cool after something like that to interview, I'd be fuming at the camera.

Great show by Lincicome at the Dinah Shore, first win of any kind on six years? wow.

I did watch some of the tournament. Β Great playoff. Β Tough break for Lewis. Β Lincicome did play great down the finish.

In all honesty, I didn't know this was a major until last night. The branded naming doesn't convey that. Call it the ANA Masters or something. I'll try to remember next year.

I watched most of the last 3 days.Β  It was a great tournament, tough break for Stacy.Β  I had a sense looking at her body language after she missed the putt right on the edge that she was going to lose.

I watched the playoff. Felt bad for Lewis, because she ultimately had 3 makeable putts to win it (2 putts that were very similar, too) and couldn't hole one of them.

Ending up in the sand filled divot sucks and is awful luck, but that's golf. I'm sure Lewis wasn't happy about it, but missing those 3 putts were really what cost her.

Every year I intend to go, and every year something comes up to keep me from doing so. As soon as the 2016 LPGA schedule is out, I think I'll block off the extended weekend (I'll aim to go Friday also).

LPGA is pretty fun (and exciting if you have players follow) and this tournament was not an exception.Β  I was very happy to see Lincicom win.Β Β  Her easy going demeanor vs Lewis' almost angry game face was pretty interesting to watch.Β Β  If it wasn't Lincicom who is playing against Lewis, I'd root for Lewis b/c of her fiery approach to the game and all she endured to get there.

I did question Lincicom's playoff strategy of laying up on the par 5 hole.Β Β  She eagled it to get to the playoff and had definite "distance" advantage over Lewis who can't reach the hole in two.Β  Had she lost, there would be othersΒ  whispering about her lay up strategy.Β Β  But nothing like a winning that makes any strategy a good one.

After the Korean born player dominance in LPGA this year, this is the 2nd win in a row for Americans albeit by veteran players.Β Β  Where are the young American players?Β Β  In stark contrast, the Korean winners were in their teen or early twenties.

I think the title sponsor needs to change their logo. Β I mean it would make Jay Leno's list of bad signs. :-O

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I watched a good portion of it but missed the playoff. Can't say I'm a Stacy Lewis fan & Brittany seems pretty cool (via what I see on Twitter), so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out who won.

I think Bam Bam had to lay up mainly due to being in the rough. I dont think it was possible to get a decent 2nd shot at the green with the lie she had

The pure rage in her eyes is pretty normal.

I always get the feeling that Lewis is a sore loser and always seems to be angry. She is by far my least favorite player on the tour.

Lewis isΒ a tough competitor who puts a lot of pressure on herself to win.Β  I get the sense that she feels under appreciated and dis-respected so she tries to work harder to win but I think there's enough pressure in just winning a tournament without all the extra baggage Lewis brings with her on Sunday.Β Β  Lincicom wanted to win yesterday but she looked more relaxed and I think that worked to her benefit.

Lewis is a competitor and is not afraid to shows her emotion.Β Β  Many PGA tour players have similar demeanor (or worse) but I understand that's may not be what people expect to see from an LPGA player.Β  Anyway, I hope she wins one after finishing 2nd three times in this LPGA season already.

BTW, it was SY Kim's tournament to win with early lead she had.Β  I think she broke down mentally down the stretch.Β  She was very erratic with her drives, putting down the stretch (no pars on back 9).

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on.Β πŸ˜‰ Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.Β  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seemΒ  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
