My favorite is the one with the shortest skorts on. Why is pretty obvious. :-P:-P

My second choice is Gerina Piller. She is good-looking, and improves every year. She has one of the best smiles on Tout.

Me too but because she told everyone to "stuff it" when they said she should quit school and play full time. The golf analysts on the idiot box were the worst! Good for you, Michelle!  You stuck to you guns, finished your degree and yet still managed to go out and win.

Good post. Michelle went through Hell, and then proved her critics WRONG!!

Can't argue with that logic.

Wie.  She's the only player who can get me to stop down for an LPGA event when in contention.  Unfortunately, she hasn't been there enough to date.  Hoping for a successful 2016 for her.

Lewis for her heart. 

Sei Young Kim for finding amazing ways to win.  She's a risk taker.  Does not believe in laying up.

NY Choi for her smooth swing.

Lydia Ko is the Tiger of LPGA.

Wie for her pornish putting.

Korda, a Popeye's GF lookalike.

Shen Shen Feng & In Bee Park remind me of a statue of Buddha.  Both are sublime players.

In Ji Chun - likely the rookie of the year in 2016. 

There's a lot to like in LPGA.

My favorite player is Lydia Ko, who has demonstrated the correct way to make the transition from a young phenom to a superstar without letting her parents screw her up. 

My least favorite is Michelle Wie, for doing just the opposite.

Lexi Thompson. I like her swing (even though parts of it are unique), it's fun to watch how far she hits it and I like her personality. Oh and she's pretty cute.

Props for accurate historic reference. I think that Paul Runyan also advocated the Diegle approach for putting and chipping yips, though the anchoring part is now against the rules.

Can't argue with that - very sincere genuine engaging smile. I like her combination of clearly fierce competitive intensity offset by a respectful, courteous manner. Lots of heart. Will enjoy seeing her as a Solheim stalwart in years to come. I'll bet she makes a great mom if / when she goes that route.

Lydia Ko - for her ability and attitude

She seems to make it look effortless. Jealous.

 

I like lots  of others too - depends on the arc of their story / the tournament at the moment. Admire Stacy's grit, but find her public persona / style of play less engaging than say Lexi.

Have to give nods to Mo Martin for her plucky underpowered win at the Ladies Open Champ and Shanshan for her extremely gracious response in defeat.

Last year I went to the LPGA tournament held at Aviara in the San Diego area.  The overall vibe on the LPGA tour seemed more casual and more friendly to me.  At the 16th tee box, Lydia pulled out of her golf bag some mixed fruit in a Tupperware like container and offered some to her fellow competitors.  She seemed very friendly, just like a group of friends out for a round of golf.  She also seems pretty humble considering her accomplishments.  And... this kind of attitude sure doesn't seem to hurt her playing.

Lydia Ko. She's just a kid but has so much talent. As others have mentioned, a very unassuming and easy going attitude, yet she wins lots of tournaments.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
