A search on Google didn't yield much - there's a Yahoo answer that blasts SnT.

I saw the picture of a player in the NYT blog, but I don't she's on the LPGA tour, but the one below it.

Anna Rawson made ONE Top10 in around 40 starts on the LPGA - i quickly would forget about her and how she swings. She has a lot in her mind, and golf doesnt seem to take a priorty there.... She is another great example why you cant judge somebodys success (or the lack of it in her case) by the swing pattern she uses - simply put because she uses golf as a platform to promote herself instead of taking the game serious.

Yah, and a few on the Future Tour.

Unfortunately that's probably the case.

--- The women are a bit of an odd case... they could be helped so much, particularly with distance, if they could do a few things. Very few of them rotate their hlps and utilize jumping quite as much as they could. It's almost a tour of arm swingers. I honestly think it's due in large part to the fact that there's little money to be made by working with an LPGA player. They rarely get the short-game experts that the men get, and the same is true of the full swing guys (except the top few). Go to an LPGA event and it's usually a player working with their caddies. And even if some instructor looking to make a name for himself turned a bunch of LPGA players into S&T; winners, his name would still be relatively small in the golf landscape. Anyway, some videos of Anna.

Does that explain their lousy putting (see the recent Golf Digest article)?

Women are bad putters. I've always felt it but now it's basically proven.

I was going to 100% agree...I checked out her website and definitely see golf not being #1 to her...then again its her personal website, not annarawsongolf.com but then it occured to me that LPGA players due struggle a bit more when it comes to tournament purses, publicity, sponsorships, etc.. when compared to their PGA player counterparts. So from a financial standpoint, I can understand why someone on the LPGA would look for other avenues for self promotion and financial gain, versus relying soley on tournament winnings.

But since I don't know her whatsoever, I cannot make a judgment of how serious or not serious she takes the game of golf. I can only comment that unless you are a star player on any Tour, money doesn't rain from the heavens and you have to do what you have to do to make a name for yourself.

Pretty much consider her the Anna Kournikova of golf. She has skills, but she's also a beautiful girl with other aspirations.

I don't recall Anna Kournikova being hideously underweight. Intellectually, they are probably on a similar level, though. Ever heard Rawson speak?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Kournikova reached the top 10 - unlike golf, in tennis you have to beat the person one-on-one. She made a few singles finals, but just couldn't seal the deal. I think she did win one major though - in doubles.

Basically, she was a gazillion times better at tennis than Rawson is at golf.

Agree about as strongly as someone can agree......

That's probably because women have been proven to on average have inferior depth perception to men. I feel like when the ladies miss it it's more often either long or short than off line.

    • Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago. 
    • I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree. 
    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
