LPGA

I just spent the day playing 18 holes of golf in the great up north (Canada), where the wind chill factor was below the freezing mark. When we drove away from the clubhouse, the snow was blowing sideways. I was sooooo cccccoooollllldddd! How cold was I, you ask? I was so cold that when I said to my playing partners …

Yesterday I posted The 64 million dollar question and received a lot of great feedback about the comments/advice from the ladies and gent who helped put it all together. Today, I had the pleasure of talking with Sherri McDonald of Big Break X Michigan about this hot topic. Sherri has played golf since she was a youngster; she competed at …

Only 4 weeks after she officially retired from golf, Annika married her boyfriend of 3 years, Mike McGee. They sure look happy, don’t they? What a beautiful bride she is! She and Mike look so happy on their wedding day near her home in Florida. Wow, only 125 guests were invited. Hmmm…I wonder if Tiger was there. Now most people …

Well, this is a very special week for one of our Big Break X Michigan ladies. Andrea VanderLende has made it to the Q school finals and is competing with other former Big Breakers for their 2009 LPGA cards. I always feel a bit desperate for these young women as they fight so hard for so few spots. It is …

When I first heard about this ruling by the LPGA I said to myself…”Don’t get involved – no big deal – just a sponsor grab.” And then I thought about it some more and I realized that this is way beyond a sponsor suck-up – this could change the face of women’s golf as a sport globally. So now I …

Have you ever been behind the ropes for an LPGA or PGA championship? Me neither. But I’ve always wanted to be up close and personal with the best in the world and so someday, my day will come. Until then, I’m going to have to rely on my golfing friends to tell me all about it. This past weekend, I …

I wasn’t going to blog about Michelle Wie’s decision in play in yet another PGA tour event because the story is soooo old, but I came across this article in SPORT where Leadbetter holds nothing back in his criticism of Michelle’s choice (or perhaps her parent’s choice) to skip the chance to play in an LPGA Major to play with …

When I was growing up in Ontario, Canada my brother and father played golf a lot. In fact, they played so much my brother ended up a scratch golfer and my dad was pretty close to a single digit handicapper. I remember asking my dad if I could play with them and I got “the look”. In my generation, golf …

There’s little doubt that Michelle Wie has a ton of talent. And there’s little doubt that someday she will/could win the US Open (the Ladies that is :)). And of course, we all agree, that if you don’t believe you can win, you never will. But come on people! This is not Munich – this is not a qualifying round …

Hey all you Crazy Golfing Canucks! Sandra Post turned 60 today! Can you believe it? Just last week she was at UBC giving a golf clinic for Jazz Golf. I wish I had known then…I’d have gone up and wished her a Happy B’day. Actually, I had a tee time and couldn’t stick around anyway, but I wanted to thank …
