I've been very recently introduced to her blog and I follow her on Twitter now. Seems to be very cool with a lot of insight on the pro tour. I think the pros dig her, by and large, and provide her great access as a result. She's not afraid to muck it around breaking some of the news on P Reed and then firmly standing with her sources. I've been impressed with the small sampling I've had to date. Curious if others are familiar or know a bit more about her than I.

I've always liked her.  I think she's a smart, attractive girl who has worked very hard to live up to the unrealistic expectations that were set for her by her parents when she was a young girl.

:doh: I wish I was witty enough to do that on purpose...Back on Topic, I had no idea who Stephanie Wei was until just now when I looked her up.

Perhaps a link would help the other forum members recognize who she is.

Haha, I didn't even catch that in your reply yesterday, I was going to ask you about the details of her childhood, funny. It's pronounced way, her blog is called Wei Under Par (kinda clever). Do you mean a link to her site? Not sure that's kosher. Or, a pic? She's pretty dang cute. I haven't quite figured out how to upload pics from my phone, but I'll work on it. Interesting that not many know of her, I suspect that may change over time, she is really pretty impressive.

I really like her work. She seems to be a good reporter, she knows golf (I believe she played in college), and she doesn't take crap from anybody. Not afraid to call out trolls when necessary, and that's included some of her PGA reporting "colleagues" at times.

Her unique putting style is one of kind. She’s a great spokesperson for Kia and she can play the game when she’s on. I think many people thought she was going to be one the greats – time will tell. Her folks put too much pressure on her.

Falls a little flat when the joke was sprung a few posts ahead, but nice try. ;-)

I don't follow her, I get all the up to date news from all my other Twitter follows, so it's basically just repetition of the same stuff.

Well, in that case, I guess I don’t have an opinion about this woman, yet. If you give me 30-45 minutes, I will check back after doing some research and give my opinion.

Her reporting is succinct, a little jejune, but readable for sports insights. I see she covered the Dufner thing or shall I say, Amanda’s things. She tells it like it is.

She's a good reporter. Better than most golf journalists. I like her stuff, but I sometimes disagree with her opinions.

I followed her twitter acct, and will occasionally go to her website/blog.

She is way better, at times, than other golf writers

I have been following her on Twitter for quite some time. She is a good writer and provides more behind the ropes information than most of the golf writers. She is funny and whimsical. She seems to have a good relationship with the golfers that like to party (I could be totally wrong about this.).

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.
