Yeah no doubt she is attractive, until she putts! lol Reminds me of Shaq shooting free throws. And the "yellow fever" comment is more than on the outskirts, it's right down Main Street.

I think there was a little misunderstanding with my comments regarding the weight of LPGA players.

Yes....everyone likes eye candy but it is not what I was refering to

What I meant was more directed towards the fact that male (both PGA and Seniors) work hard

at being fit and very few are maybe a little flabby.

I would not consider Mickelson fat (maybe a couple of years back)

I would think that young women who walk who knows how many hundreds of miles

and make, who knows how many thousands of swings, would not have difficulty keeping their weight down.

I would think that they would want to exercise and increase their flexibility.

Watching Park and Zalla (?) at the recent LPGA major, neither one looked athletic, strong or

in any kind of physical shape (other than fat). Good golfers..yes

If you look at Suzanne Petterson (?), you see someone  that looks like she means business

Annika was also athletic and strong and not eye candy. Inkster  etc.

Wie fired Leadbetter and her new swing coach is her Father.  What a bad move on her part.

Wait, what? Is this real news or CNN news? Why would she switch to maybe her only option worse than Leadbetter?

Maybe the extra mass helps them hit the ball further.

This will not be pretty.

First of all, she's doing something that seems to be working better for her than before. Where does it say, that there is only one way to putt effectively? Take a look at video of Jack "N" putting style. He crouched! I doubt that any PGA teacher would teach that style, but I guess he did o.k. with it. What about Furyk?  Would his swing be recommended? No, because too many PGA teachers teach just one way regardless of what skills or needs their students require. Michelle Wie has had all of the putting "gurus" trying to improve her putting.None of that or them has worked, so what is wrong with what she's doing as long as she is comfortable with it?

Huh, Wie didn't fire leadbetter? At least I cant find anything on it.

Excuse me if someone has already mentioned this but the technique was originally developed by golf pro Leo Diegel. He played in the 40's I believe. My dad had a set of Leo Diegel irons. It brings back memories.

Michelle\s got the sweetest pair of pig-tails this week. She looks so good.  Hey, i watched her putt twice and she drained both putts so it seems the putting stance is working out OK. I also see some very heavy asian girls, from various countries.  I rather think it is a good thing that the physical appearance of the ladies is taking second place to the performance on the course. Goes to show that any body shape can play this game, men and women.

If you rotate Michelle 90 degrees, she would be Dufnering.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
