Lexi hits it 300

She smokes most of the male pros in local events if she plays them

Great player that one

Lexi can hit it 300. Her driving average last year was barely 270 yards.

I am a huge fan of the LPGA. The hotter the player, the better the viewing of golf is. I wish these golfers would be in contention more: Natalie Gulbis Blair O'Neal Sophie Horn Belen Mozo Ryan O'Too

Let me try one more time. Everybody is entitled to appreciate anything they want to appreciate. For those that appreciate skill and low scores and enjoy watching the LPGA that's great. Just so

She is also very tall compared to the average LPGA player, which helps that distance.  I agree she is becoming a great player and getting better each year.

Btw, if I'm not forced to choose between watching PGA and LPGA, then I'll give the girls a shot. Got to watch the very exciting ending (75 ft two tiered eagle putt with 30' of break on second playoff hole) to the girls tourney this week. Way to go Paula! (Karrie Webb, not so much) ;)

The final round drama was incredible, punctuated by Paula's final putt.   Webb collapsed down the stretch and could not even make the playoff.   Like the PGA playoff yesterday, the one who executed on 2nd shot for reachable par 5 hole won.

How can Suzanne Petterson overtake Inbee Park with a win this week? Inbee holds three of the last 5 LPGA majors, plus a win here and there. I don't get their world rankings.

I also like LPGA more than PGA. It's not only because there are many ladies on green.

The men's play is hard to follow such as the distance and power like me, novice, so that the women's play is a good guideline to compare the swing form and other factors. I don't think I can do like Inbee or Brooke, the new Canadian rising star, but I can play to resemble their golf style expect the short skirts or pants.

I really like Hyo Joo's form. For me, her swing looks perfect and desires to make mine like hers.

Can't deny PGA championship in this time was interesting than any other tourneys but still have more love on LPGA. :dance:

I just viewed a replay of the last round of Brooke Henderson. 17 years of age and an eight stroke difference winning the Cambia Portland classic. What a bright girl that is.

When are the producers of LPGA television coverage going to wise up like the PGA television producers. On PGA coverage they always show Mikelson, Tiger, Rory, Speith, etc. no matter how poorly they are playing. Why... because that's what the masses want to watch. On the LPGA tour I want to watch Paula, Gulbis, Lexi, Petterson, Munoz, Henderson, etc. REGARDLESS of how they are playing. If they are not on I do not watch or care. I can guarantee that if they devoted at least 50% of the coverage to these girls ratings would drastically improve.

I enjoy watching the LPGA and do often but not necessarily more than the PGA.  But I can relate to the LPGA game better than the PGA where players routinely drive 300 yard par 4 holes.

I agree 100%. Let's be honest. Golf is a niche sport. The audience that watches it on television is small. The audience that watches it on LPGA is even much smaller. So they should be showing the LPGA stars that the fans want to see. I add Cheyenne Woods to your list. It seems that the LPGA television producers do always show Michelle Wie, as they should.

Was anyone really shocked with the Creamer pick ? I agree she makes the LPGA more watchable. Wish she was playing better

      My Favorite Putts

      By iacas ·

      No, I'm not talking about "six footers uphill, slightly right to left." I'm going to indulge myself and talk about my favorite putts that I've ever hit. In no particular order… #9 at Whispering Woods The hole was cut middle left, and I was back right with about 40 feet to the hole, and six to eight feet of break. @DrizZzY (he'll be a semi-common theme here) was about 25' from the hole and he said "Do you need me to mark that" as his ball was really close to my line. I saw the line really, really clearly and, like the cocky jerk I am, said something like "no, leave it. I think I have to just miss your ball to make this." I saw my ball as having to pass within a few millimeters of his ball… and going in the middle. Well, I hit the putt, and as it passed his ball missing it by maybe 1.5cm… I said "ahhhhh, pulled it a little…" and… the ball fell in the left-center of the hole. I smirked at Sculley and he just said "you're such an ass." 🤣 I know I said in no particular order, and that might be true for the rest… but this one is clearly tops on my list. I saw the line so clearly, it was a touchy, delicate putt… and I knew I'd pulled it just that little bit, and my speed was perfect. His ball was fifteen feet from mine, and the putt broke 8'! Might be the greatest putt, given the call I made, I'll ever hit. #13 at Lawsonia Links I cared about a few rounds in Wisconsin on our 2021 trip (thanks again @cipher), and the 13th had gotten me a bit. I was in a bunker, and someone not NOT named @DeadMan had told me I could just chip a 7I out and still be fine… well, the 7I left me 250 in, so my 3W finished just left of the green… and about 10' below the green. I hit a decent pitch to 25' or so… this putt broke only about 2-3', but burying that one was satisfying as it kept my "no sixes in Wisconsin" streak alive. It was after this putt that someone said something like "You remember how you said you felt about Tiger at the 1997 Masters? That's how we feel right about now." It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. 😄 #14 at Whispering Woods Two putts are tied here. On one, Sculley and I hit tee shots to a back hole near the front of the green. I was a foot off the front, he was a few feet on. As we were getting back into the cart, I said "putting contest from here." He replied "Well, I lost." I made the 75-footer. The other time, the pin was front-left. I was mostly middle right, barely on the green, putting across it from about 65 feet. The putt broke a good ten feet. Sculley was short left of the hole, and for the last 20 feet of the putt, I looked at @DrizZzY and the face he made — disgust, annoyance, resignation — as the putt tracked directly toward and eventually into the hole was one of the funniest and most satisfying expressions I've ever seen on the golf course. I watched him, not my ball, for the last 15-20 feet of its roll. Sorry Sculley! #9 at Tan Tara Golf Course It was my 77th stroke in my second round of the PAT. It was a ten-footer, broke a few inches, and was destined for the bottom of the cup the instant I hit it, all to pass the PAT on the number in my first attempt. (Tan Tara is now Pendleton Creek.) #17 and 18 at The Old Course, St. Andrews On the 18th, I hit it to about four feet from about 40 yards out, up and over the Valley of Sin, from the fairway. I didn't even really consider chipping or pitching it, because who does that? Not there, not me. On #17, I had about a 15 or 18 footer, after playing a 6I from 180 that flew (on purpose) only about 90 yards, and took about 15 steps to run over humps and hollows before coming to a stop on the right portion of the hole. My caddie said "I see only one or two birdies a year on the Road Hole, so, well done." Lifetime scoring average on 17 at the Old: 3. I'll take that. Far Hole (#?), Putting Course at Streamsong Black @kpaulhus and I were screwing around. Calling out holes, and tee locations. I walked over to the fringe of the nearby green on the Black course… We putted from the fringe in case we scuffed the ground a bit. Well, I chose a putt from the fringe to the far side of the 18-hole putting course. In Google Earth, I measured the putt just now at nearly 400 feet. As in… 130 yards. I hit the stick. My ball stopped less than two feet from the hole. The other diners let out a loud shout when I smacked it, and looked way over at me and yelled out "it hit the stick!" Kyle lost that hole. And most of the other ones. 😉  Some stats: Count: 8 Shortest: 10 feet. Longest: 130 yards. Average length: ~93 feet. But, y'know… Those are my favorite putts. What are yours?

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By Sammydreep ·

      I have one still sitting in a box my son gave me for Christmas.  For a while, I used an app on my watch, but it drained the phone battery . We have Markers at 180 ,135 and 90M , and generally I am close enough to one of them to get a fairly rough indication of how far.  Also, for a while now ,I walk into town and back at weekends, approximately 5 mile round-trip . I’ll start a walk on my watch, and on the way home when the watch ticks over to .10/.90 etc I’ll pick a street light ,lamp post , sign , and guess how far, normally anything up to about 100 m, I have now got very good at estimating distances, especially up to 50 or 60M.
