Once again, the LPGA is having a tournament with NO TV coverage. Six of the top 10 are competing including Lorena, Paula (who still suffers from a mysterious stomach ailment---she has had it since last fall!), Suzann Pettersen, etc. Lorena leads at 8 under (no surprise there), and Michelle Wie is right behind her at minus 7! Paula is one under, and one of the Old Guard, Juli Inkster is at minus 2.

Wouldnt surprise me if they cancel the 2010 season for the LPGA. There is no money in it.

Hell they televise paintball tournaments and bowling. If that doesnt tell you something about the LPGA, I dont know what will.

You are right. The people, like me, who like the LPGA, are very loyal, but we are a very small group, apparently.

Even the venerable Corning Classic is going away.

Even the venerable Corning Classic is going away.

After 31 years!! And some great Champions have won there:

1983 Patty Sheehan; 1984 Joanne Carner; 1990 Pat Bradley; 1994 Beth Daniel; 2000 Betsy King; 2002 Laura Diaz (who is from Upstate New York--Scotia, near Albany); 2003 Juli Inkster ; 2004 Annika Here is how the event got started: "In 1977, Bill Griffiths believed a Ladies Professional Golf tournament offered a way to assist the Corning Country Club’s revenue and membership opportunities, while at the same time raising funds for area hospitals. He presented his idea that year to the club’s board of directors which included Corning Glass Works executives Van Campbell and George Douglas. They thought enough of Bill’s idea to put it before Corning Incorporated top management group. The company bought into it enthusiastically, and tapped Douglas to be the event’s first general chairman. Campbell Rutledge, Jr., then a recently retired vice president of sales and public relations was assigned the marketing, sales and promotion responsibilities. Thus, the LPGA Corning Classic born." Now that Corning is having financial difficulties, sponsorship of a golf tournament is out of the question. Sound familiar in this severe recession?

Maybe the Golf Channel didn't want their employees going there and risk getting the flu.

Boy, it is a battle between Lorena (20 under) and Suzann Pettersen (19 under). Michelle has faded away (little golf lingo there), and is 10 under. What is wrong with Paula? She shot a 76 today!

I hope that doesnt happen, im one of those people and i dont know why more dont enjoy watching beautiful women playing golf (even though there may be a small amount on tour).. id rather watch LPGA golf over Champions, Nationwide and euro (minus the big events) anyday. What a downer.

my sentiments exactly... id much rather watch hot women than old men... heck you would think with the way some of the lpga competitors dress a whole lot more men would be watching... but i think it might be a jealousy thing... i notice it at the places i play... guys would rather play with a hack than a woman thats better than they are... me... ill take a lady any day of the week...

so guys dont wanna watch girls that can out play them

You are so right. I enjoy playing with good women golfers, and I attend as many LPGA tournaments as I can. After this year, I will not be able to go to Corning since they have announced this is the last year, after 31 years of Corning hosting the tournament. It is a real shame to LPGA fans in Upstate New York and northern Pennslyvania.

I know they can play, but it just doesn't hold my interest. And let's be honest, they're not all hot either.

I am jealous of you. Today, Lorena and Suzann really battled it out, with both shooting 68's, so that the Mex won by one shot! Talk about excitement!

It would be a shame for the LPGA to go away. There's a x-LPGA member who's started giving lessons at my local course and I must say THAT GIRL can play. More than one "macho" man has been given a "schooling".

Paula has had a stomach virus for months now...

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
