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.

This picture reminds me of a joke that I am sure many people here are familiar with.

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.

You've been warned. Don't blame me if you do a boo-boo @ work. :-)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club? Team Play Page
    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
