I saw the whole bunch of them on ESPN.com the other day (not just Suzann, but all the athletes) and I can't get over how confident these people have to be with their bodies.  And I'm not talking about the confidence to be seen in the photos (naked, but not 'exposed'), but the confidence to be seen by the people on set at the time of the shoot from some of the positions they put themselves into.  I admire them.

A lady comes running into the pro shop and yells "my friend needs medical help.  She got stung by a bee! And she is allergic to bee stings!"  The pro asks "where?"  And the lady replies between hole #1 and hole #2!  The pro says "well her stance must've been too wide."

Mvmac... Looks like she needs to get the 'S' bend out of her lower back, and improve her stance by hunching over more to round her back, wouldn't you say?

Dunno... I think we need a face on shot to truly examine her.  I mean her SWING... yeah.

I am always surprised that golf mag puts out photos like this.  The Body Issue by ESPN is one thing--at least there is a theme of admiration of the fit athlete.  But this is just a shot up the girl's skirt.

nah, they wear these little compression shorts underneath.  most of the time they are built right in to the skirt.  almost like a skort.

With the current state of the LPGA having trouble with sponsors, ratings and attendance at tournaments recently, it in no way surprises me that they would encourage any sort of attention they can bring to their tour and athletes.  Having been around the LPGA tour events and met some of the golfers, I think it is a great thing to bring more publicity and a wider audience base to a great sport that deserves more attention.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
