I hope she mellows out though..she's so wound up..she seems like a sore loser..I remember a few months ago..when that Korean gal holed out from the bunker to clinch the womens U.S. Open. The camera panned to Morgan and she just was shocked..flipped her club backwards..looked like she was about to cry.

There was a quote by her in Golf Digest, to paraphrase, that Michele Wie first needs to learn how to win on the LPGA tour first..well I'm not a fan of neither players..but Morgan needs to "learn" how to lose also.

Morgan staying Morgan could be one of the best things for the LPGA. Women's soccer took off when someone ripped off their shirt, after all... Someone emotional may bring attention to the sport. Whether it's good or bad, I can't say... I think being a sore winner is really the only "bad" thing so long as being a "sore loser" doesn't mean talking smack about the winners or something.

Agreed. I think Pressel's fire is her best characteristic. Sure, she gets a little too wound up at times, but the positives far outweigh the negatives from what I've seen. If she didn't play like that, she might not be as good.

I've seen a couple interviews with her on The Golf Channel, and she seems to have to her head on straight. Here's hoping she teaches Michelle Wie how to win on the big stage.

Or at least smile. It really isn't that hard.

See? Wie looks like she's constipated out there.

All that really matters is she can play!!! Bring on the best and let them play. Game on! Let's see some of that competative fire. That goes for Wie as well. If they are really that good then they should be allowed to compete.

These young women have the opportunity to bring more attention to the game and to the LPGA as a whole. We have been watching womans golf, in particular, growing in popularity. This could vault the LPGA to another level.

As a fan of the game, I like to see the best play. Bring 'em on.

Although I really think Morgan Pressel will impress on the tour, by changing her (Bivens') mind it opens up opportunities for all age groups to petition for membership. Better idea? Let anyone who can make the cut become a full-fledged member of the LPGA.

My pick for 2006 Rolex Rookie Player of the Year goes to Ai Miyazato .

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

Wow, stickin' your neck out early there Stacy. Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna choose Pretzel. I plan to call her "Pretzel" instead of "Pressel" all year, too.

Stacy's Predictions :

Morgan Pressel's outbursts will cost her a major this year.

Miyazato will be rookie player of the year.

Watch out for Paula Creamer. What will she do for an encore?
In season one Paula was second on the tour to only one person, Annika Sorenstam .
Can you believe that the oldest girl in the rookie group is Miyazato and she's not even 21?

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

Stacy's Predictions

The prediction here is more of the same. Creamer is the real deal and has all of the maturity that Pressels still lacks (but give her time).

Paula Creamer is the next #1 player on the LPGA. It may not be 2006, but it won't be long.

I recoiled a bit at her reaction, too. Realizing though, that she is; 1.) a highly motivated prodigy, and 2.) only 16 ...I think we will enjoy watching her as she matures.

I (for one) think the hyped up rivalry between Michelle and Annika is going to pale with the addition of the new band of youngsters. Pressel and Creamer alone are going to make it a little harder for leaders to sleep after the second round, I think.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

Did you see the ADT Skills Challenge this weekend?
Annika was at the bottom of the pack.
Paula Creamer did fairly well, putting at least as well as Peter Jacobson.

Are Annika's skills weakening with the threat of the onslaught of rookie talent? Is the world's number-one LPGA female starting to choke ?

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
