Big deal. Let her play. It's not like she is related to the Press sisters, or anything like that.

This issue is reminiscent of Renée Richards, a transgendered tennis pro who was a cause célèbre in the late 1970s. Richards did squat, as will Bagger, most likely.

It can also lead to a fantastic made-for-TV match play against Fred Funk.

Lawless won the women's Re-Max Lond Drive competition back in 2008 and was not allowed to participate this year. Should be interesting in the future with more and more transgender females enter competitions. I'm surprise the Williams sisters aren't transgender females.

When someone takes steriods or growth hormones for all their life then want to compete against athletes that never took them, seems like the playing field isn't level. Even if it was legal, in whatever state they were in, they now have an advantage.

Part of me (the male at birth part) says, "Good grief - it looks like a guy!"
The other part of me (still male all these years says, "Dang, don't get her angry."

On a side note - love her name - Lana Lawless. I'm guessing it is intentional to sound like Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess!

He/She said, ""I look like Vanna White," said Lawless, who moved to Palm Springs in the spring after residing in Riverside for 24 years. "But I sound like Barry White."

Seriously, Lawless thinks he/she looks like Vanna White?

Here's what she looks like: http://celebgalz.com/lana-lawless-la...hampion-photo/

While it is very unlikely that he/she will amount to anything on the tour, this little change opens the door. What if Sergio wanted to have gender reassignment?

Exactly. Which is why they passed it/dropped the rule.

People think there'll be a conga line of guys lining up to have a bit of snipping,tucking and implanting, thinking they'll clean up on the LPGA Tour. It won't happen. None of them would be good enough and if anyone was, the rule would still be in place.

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

Have we become so PC that we're all supposed to ignore the fact that men are born with a natural advantage in strength and quickness? I don't care how much you mutilate your genitals, it doesn't negate that advantage.

Lawless doesn't really have any interest in the LPGA, she went after them because the Long Drive competition adopted the LPGA rules this year so it made sense for them to be included in her suit.

I am so glad I was educated before PC became the progressive's mission. There is plainly something mentally wrong with someone who discovers that they were born with the wrong sex.

And simply having a Doctor perform a mutilating series of surgical procedures cannot bestow a different sex upon someone.

Our love affair with technology is out of control, because so few people understand the ability to do something does not make it a good thing to do.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

Frankly this is an ignorant post. There are people who genetically have DNA that make them sexually ambiguous. Also, if someone is not sexually comfortable in the body they were born with they have the right to change this. Why should they live their entire lives as a lie based on how they feel sexually?

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
