I lived in Springfield for a while during my teenage years. The high school I attended had a television production studio, and a friend from my neighborhood (who was also on the golf team) was editing a video project on what was then known as the State Farm Rail Classic (before the tournament changed venues). One day, while I was working in one of the editing stations, I found his partially-finished project among the recently-saved files. For some unknown reason, I thought it would be funny if I opened the file and overdubbed his narration with me screaming, "C'mon, nobody cares about LPGA golf!" He did not share this opinion.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

I'm still rooting for Paula.     Gulbis is T70 @ even par, along with my other favorite Sandra Gal.

Tomorrow's going to be a big day in the movement.

I'd like to see Inkster win one more.  But if I was betting real money I'd pick Shin.  She is playing in form again and a good bet.

    • Yeah, let's just ignore that there were only 5-10 great players back then… 🤣 Ha ha ha. Whatever you guys have to tell yourselves… Tiger won MAJORS 22 years apart. That's a long time. He wasn't missing the top ten on the money list because he sucked, it's because he didn't play due to injuries.
    • Pretty accurate.  Another way you can look at it is how many years was Jack top 10 on the money list. It used to be the list that mattered, nothing else came close. Jack was top 10 from 1962-1978 and then once more in 1983 making 18 years total. He had another 4 inside the top 20. He was #1 8 times.  Tiger was top 10 from 1997-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 which is 16 times total. His next best were 24th and 38th in 2019-2020. He was #1 10 times.  Honestly, they're both pretty long but Jack has quite a few more seasons in the upper ranks. Makes sense when Tiger barely played in 2010-2011 and then again from 2015-2017, and pretty much 2020 onwards. That's not an excuse for Tiger though.
    • Bangers and mash. In keeping with the golf theme.🫢
    • Played three and a half rounds in England last week. I will not be playing more than maybe 4 rounds on any one course. Probably only about 20 rounds all year and between 4 and 8 of those will be alternate shot, so don't really count. Off to a pretty good start though. Three and a half rounds gave me 5 birdies and an eagle (with two of those birdies being on the same hole number). 
    • First round of 2026. No birdies and a very pedestrian 86. Maybe I should have hit a few balls over the past 100 days. Next year!
