I have played a pro-am round with Annika and she was great.  We had a blast.  I would choose Anna Rawson.

Anna Nordqvist just played my home course about a week and a half ago. Following the event at Hamilton Farms in NJ. She came up here on that Monday I believe and played a round. She shot 66 from the tips and I got to meet her. She seemed like she would be cool to play a round with.

It's been a while (2 years ago?), but IMO, I think she looks better in real life than she does on camera.  Same with Suzann Petterson.  Surprisingly, the opposite seemed true of Creamer and Gulbis.  Don't get me wrong, they're attractive without a doubt, but for me at least, there was somewhat of a let down when I saw them in person.

Maybe she was just tired or wasnt feeling well.  Maybe just simply focussed on working on certain things in her game to prepare for the actual tournament. Im sure at times professional golfers with all the travel and time demands get drained and just arent as friendly as they normally are, just dont have the energy.   Thats pretty cool that not only you got to meet her but actually play a pro-am with her.

Kristie Kerr or Paula Creamer - Two great pros and also beautiful. So while my game would be in the crapper, just watching either of those two beautiful women play would be priceless! ;-)

I've never seen Creamer in person, but I've seen enough high res photos of her. Way more than enough, if you know what I mean.

The last time, I was an honest 1 hcp, and got my head handed to me in a basket by three tour pros. I could out drive them, but so what. Inside 180 yds they were deadly.

And forget trying to make up any strokes on the greens...

I shot one of my best rounds in probably 2 months, 3 under, and it wasn't even close. One of the best rounds I've ever had the privilege to play.

Today, it would be the Pink Panther. Love both her mental and physical game.

As long as my wife wouldn't find out...

Just curious, which tee did you play from?  The average LPGA course is about 6400.  Wondering if they would do just as well from 6800.

Exactly, that's what casual fans of the LPGA don't understand. Guys like to look at someone like Gulbis with the glam that surrounds her and say " I'm not fooled by the makeup and stuff, I like the girl next door" . Well, anyone of us who have actually met Natalie knows that she is the girl next door! I have met all the big names on the LPGA over the years, and I can tell you that no one has a sweeter disposition than Ms. Gulbis. Like one of the commentators on TGC's top 10 hottest golfers segment said "not only is Gulbis hot, she's one cool chick."

I'm guessing they are playing it that long due to the altitude. The Broadmoor is about 6500 ft above sea level. the ball travels about 10% further up there.

which brings the course down to about 6400...

anna rawson...no contest.

i'd say Michelle Wie second, although I might have to hit a lot of drivers just to make sure she never out drives me.

I played golf one summer in Denver when I was 16 years old and as big around as a garden hose. Can you imagine how much fun it was to be hitting the green on a 200-yard par 3 with a 3-iron when I might have needed a 3-wood at home?

Michelle Wie could probably outdrive a lot of guys on the PGA tour, Ive seen her hit 300+ yard drives in tournaments.  I saw a youtube video of her reaching a 596 yard par 5 in 2.  Not sure about the condtions there but even with help from downhill or wind, still pretty impressive.  In a casual round, I'm sure she could probabably go even longer so better bring your A game to not be outdriven by her.

Michelle is the exception.  That's why she was insistent on competing with the men.  Her never making a PGA cut tells me most of the LPGA would struggle from the back tees.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
