espn-icon-57x57.png LPGA changes its Hall of Fame criteria, will induct Lorena Ochoa

The LPGA announced modifications to its Hall of Fame criteria on Tuesday, lifting a playing time requirement that had barred Lorena Ochoa from entry. The LPGA also is inducting its remaining eight founders.

They're also (as you can see from the clip above) inducting the remaining eight founders.

Quote

LPGA players earn two points for a major and one point for a win or major award. The requirement for its Hall of Fame is 27 points, 10 years on tour and one major or award. Ochoa had 37 points but played only seven years before retiring to start a family.

They're removing the requirement that you play for ten years (i.e. you still have to earn 27 points and a major/award). They're also adding a point for winning an Olympic gold medal.

Good. If you can earn the points in < 10 years, you still earned the points. I also like that it requires a good standard of 27 points to get in.

I agree and using the same reasoning I don't think there should be an age limit.  I don't know if there one for the ladies, but there is one for the men (although they seem to have had a hard time deciding what the age should be: 40->50->45).

But then again, what the hell do I know?

The men don’t have a different Hall of Fame though. That’s the World Golf Hall of Fame you’re thinking of. There’s no PGA Tour HOF.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By iacas · Posted

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.

      Slomo video of me working on the arms raising thing in the backswing. I think this is better, albeit I’m going fairly slowly and then stopping. Too darn cold to go outside and I don’t have room to safely make a full motion indoors, so this will have to do till I can make it to the range.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      Very concise and to the point.  I can attest; it makes the golf swing easier if you keep that right arm under control.
