Paula Creamer

Anyone know what is going on with her game? She barely gets any golf covetage due to her not being high on the leaderboard. Is she still injured?

She's not, but she's working her way back.

But… I don't think she's got the talent, to be honest. She can put together a good week and she won by making a ridiculously long putt a few years ago… but I don't see her being a regular winner anymore.

Pity, too. I loved her win at Oakmont, and she was so so nice to my daughter in signing her hat that week, and at the Toledo event.

Sadly I have to agree with you @iacas   Her golf game can’t compete with the current ladies. They are good and consistent. It’s a shame I feel she is great for the game both men and woman’s golf.

To be honest I'm unsure about the older U.S. players. You see their Instagram posts and they're rarely talking about working at the game; you see them dining out, getting dressed up, getting their nails done, shopping, etc. Meanwhile I feel like the international players are working at their games all the time.

This is old information. I haven't seen many of their Instagram posts lately. And I'm talking mostly about the Natalie Gulbis/Paula Creamer generation… I feel like the world passed them by a little bit.

Mainly the Asian golfers. Man they are talented. It is disappointing since I really enjoy the Solheim cup. They need to figure a way to get Asia involved. You would most likely see a beat down who ever they played.

I’m afraid you’re right about a beat down. Looking at the LPGA leaderboards week in and week out and it is full of Asian golfers.  They’ve really got their game together.

I see this. Brittney Linscicome’s interview where she basically said ‘I don’t like to practice, I’d rather be fishing’ certainly isn’t the way the international girls feel I believe.

Bingo! The majority of American LPGA golfers seem to be more concerned with their image/brand. Golf is secondary. They pretty much come across as vacuous twits who are interested in hair, makeup and selfies. 

And, to bequite honest, that's part of the issue with the Lincicomb thing. She's a has been/never really was. And Thomson is just horrible. The really interesting players are the international ones. I'd rather see Henderson play than any of the U.S. ones. She has more individuality and style as a player than all of them.

Creamer got a reputation as a "girl next door" rather than a great player and she's just a surly and sour whinger.  As for Pressel.......😏

I don't know that I agree about the current crop.
