Great Article. I think Yani is going to end up the best ever (male or female). It's a shame she'll never get the limelight she deserves.

The greatest ever, male or female? I don't see this happening but if it does I'm sure she will get the recognition she deserves.

I have problem with name recognition and the golger, especilly with asians but also with europens and some young yanks.  Don't have trouble with Creamer, Gulbis.  Just more exposure. Tseng needs a better agent.

Maybe some big fake boobs will help her name get out there.

How could you not see this happening?  She won 11 times this year and at 22 she already has 5 majors.  What about this doesn't make you think she that she won't be the greatest ever?  I don't think she will get any recognition until she retires.

I agree that she could be the greatest ever if you are referring to her respective, LPGA, sport.  I think Tiger could beat her though....but

But in terms of respective leagues, defiently could happen, those numbers are incredible.  Wouldnt suprise me one bit.

But in the end of the day......Who really cares about the LPGA                  (please dont get affended by this) more of a joke than anything...but still true lol

As you are clearly from a non-English speaking background, you probably don't really understand that the LPGA has a long history  - 60 years, in fact.

Just because it doesn't relate to your culture, it doesn't mean no-one cares about it. Perhaps not in your country, but Koreans and Americans do, I promise you that.

If ever you visit the United States you should go to a tournament. You might be surprised.

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

As you know in golf, just because you beat someone on any given day, week, whatever, doesn't necessarily mean you are a better player.  In golf someones success is heavily weighted on the number of majors they have won.  I think Yani will have more majors than any other pro golfer (female or male) when her career is done.

She may have a better record than Tiger, but it'll be against other women. It's hard to believe that, person vs person, she'll be the best player. If Tiger, Phil, or any other big name male played the women's tournaments, they would probably be racking up wins like crazy, even from a young age.

I totally agree, winning under pressure is a very big part of golf. Because as we all know golf is 90% mental and the other 10% is mental.  To be the best, you have to beat the best in the most pressure situations, which are majors.  I think she will too....

How is writing like that "joking"?

Why would you want people to think that you can't write in English?

Fair enough if you are French Canadian, I suppose. Sorry if French is your main language.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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."
