I'm headed down tomorrow. Went last year, really a great experience to be able to go to a professional tournament and not be overrun with absurd masses of people (went to the PGA at Baltusrol, it was barely enjoyable). So many unbelievably technically sound, fluid swings to see, I'm excited. And my wife is actually excited to go, too!

(unfortunately, doesn't look like Anna Rawson will make the cut...) ;)

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

Yeah, the lack of crowds is a real draw to me for LPGA events. I was bummed that I couldn't check them out when they were in Palm Springs...

I had a paper due a few days after the tournament, or I would've been there. I share your lament.

And it was one of their majors, wasn't it? Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed going to the NWT event I went to, since it seemed to be me, the players' groupies, and the players' families. I suspect going to an LPGA event would be great for the same reason.

I'll be going to Sylvania (OH) this summer for Jamie Farr's event. Crowds are small and easily manageable for sure.

Not bad for a 19 yr. old winning her first LPGA event...

Not to mention Lorena and Annika one shot back!

One other reason to love watching the LPGA: My body more resembles theirs (in overall height/weight/muscle; no "Mike is a woman" jokes please) and yet they're able to post scores in the 60s. It means to me that my body won't hold me back from those scores indefinitely

Me too. I have tix for each day of real play and a DVR at home so I can attend and watch the coverage as well - best of both worlds. I use to go when they had a regular stop. My daughter was < 10 yrs old and we sat after the 12th hole, leaning against a tree right next to the green. I had read that pros use a ball for only about 6 holes, so they might give us one. We got a couple including Dottie Pepper, who is now doing the telecasts. Her mark on the ball was a big Dot and a T following. My daughter did never take up golf but she treasures this golf ball still (she will be a senior in college).

Driver: 400 SZ
Irons: Maltby custom fit KE4's
Sandwedge: Maltby Slider
Others: random selection

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
