When I travel abroad, the passport is on me at all times. How can she be so careless?

Her mistake affected some 30 other players with heavy delays which prevented them from a practice round Monday.    Reading the article, the driver should not have waited and then she would have been the only one inconvenienced.

Yep. She’ll likely get on social media and say she’s taking a break from social media to get her life in order.

I am baffled at her decision to put her passport in her golf bag.  I would think she would keep it with her travel bag rather than the golf bag.

May be it was just a one time mistake.  But inconveniencing other players is a major PR mess.  She needs an assistant who can take care of her travel plans, and her PR in general, better.

She's proven herself many times to be a really vile piece if work. A cheat who never owns her mistakes and looks to blame others.

Wow, you guys are harsh on her. She forgot to take her passport out of her golfbag. These things happen. I must be a vile person too then.

Things happen like deliberately cheating? You think these things "just happen"? Look at just about anything she's ever said. She's an entitled brat She's a cheat and a dishonest person. Look at what she even said last week at the Evian. She won't change because she can't learn.

I'll give her the benefit of doubt. Things like this are easily done especially if said person is rushing/late or just plain stressed.

But, i agree the driver shouldnt have waited so the other players wouldn't have been affected to much. I just can't see anyone intentionally causing 30 or so players to miss a practice round, nut hey, maybe im just too nice a person :-D

I think this is an unfair statement unless you have met her personally.

The article should have read:

’Lexi forgets her passport and misses out on practice round.’

The video of her cheating, the articles where she claims to have been treated harshly without ever admitting fault are enough evidence for me.

She represents everything that is wrong with women's golf in the U.S.

Why drag the rest of the LPGA and all women golfers in on this?  I know plenty of woman golfers and they are not like this. They are a lot of fun to play with. Don’t lump the rest in with your dislike of Lexi.

That's a very fair comment. I mean the U.S. professional golfers who are focussed more on personal branding, Instagram and selfies than their golf. Lexi represents the worst of this trend.

Yes. I meant a particular breed of LPGA player  - not U.S. women golfers in general and I corrected that.

Do you think that she represents something positive - given that she is a cheat and someone who deflects responsibility whenever her decisions are called into question?

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
