~~A big congratulations goes out to Lexi Thompson for winning last week's Loreno Ochoa Invitational. It was Lexi's second victory in her last four starts. At the age of nineteen, Lexi has now joined those few elite players on the LPGA who will be making a run at becoming #1 in 2014. This week the LPGA moves to Naples, Florida for the CME Group Titleholders. This is the final tournament of the 2013 season.

Here are the key details:

This will be our first opportunity to see Kydia Ko endorse the winner's check as this is her first 'pro' tourney. Will she be a 'multi-millionaire' before age 18 too? GOKO!

I like how the LPGA groups their stars together in the same pairings. Awesome that Pettersen, Stacy Lewis, and Inbee Park are together as well as Jessica Korda, Lydia Ko, and Michelle Wie. This adds intrigue.

I looked at some of the stats for the players in this tourney and was surprised at some of the short driving averages, like 235 after 2 rounds. The best i saw was 265 or so. But what i did not find was how these numbers were calculated. Mostly, how many drives on each day to make the average. Anyone know?

They just take the average drive on two par 5 holes. If you hit a tree on one of them, it will severely lower your average.

Since the PPGA site does not tell us what course this tourney is played on, nor any details of the length of the course, does anyone know?  Tiburon resort offers 2 courses and 4 sets of tees for each course, so that's a possible 8.  Distances for these 8 tee boxes range from 7200 yrds to 5500 yrds.

As far as driving averages, if on those 2 par 5s, if both drives go into the rough, the driving average is zero. Or is the rough OK?

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
