Van de Velde is an idiot. No women have been given exemptions into the Open. Only the qualifying has been opened up. If a women can qualify then why can't they play. As more and more women begin playing it's only a matter of time before a few women begin making cuts in the PGA Tour events. The PGA Tour makes no mention that it's a men's tour. It's not the MPGA Tour. Just PGA tour. The only reason that men make up the entire tour is that they are the only ones that have been good enough to make it on the tour. That's what the PGA Tour should be about. The best players period. Regardless of gender. The LPGA Tour exists because the vast majority of the women are not able to compete at that level. Without it the best women golfers wouldn't have a way to showcase their skills. The Open and the US Open allowing women to qualify shouldn't be an issue. Like everyone else they still have to make it through qualifiying.

As all of us addicts know from watching the previous seasons with the challenges the best all around golfer doesn't always end up winning. I do agree that if you just threw the two teams out and let them player a Ryder Cup format over three days the Euros would probably close it out on day two. However, it probably won't work that way. There will be all kinds of skill contests. All they need to do is produce the shots to win the challenge. The gap between the two teams is not so large that the Euros will kill them in the skill challenges. I can't imagine the golf channel letting it turn into a blow out. I just wrote a post about a reality golf show. I need to call my sponsor.

I found this site only a few weeks ago. This has made it much easier to make it through the day till I can get out to the range or grab a quick nine. The calendar is marked by the majors, the beginning and ending of the season in the notheast, and the bi-annual talk from my girlfriend that I play and practice too much.
