Skin to win?
According to GolfWeek, LPGA rookie Belen Mozo (awesome name) will appear nude partially clad in the ESPN Magazine “Body Issue” that hits stands next month. A tour rookie, the Spaniard has one Top 10 finish and blah blah blah here are her stats. More importantly Curious as to what she...
Golf & the Internet – haters gonna hate
The LPGA is going to let Lana Lawless try (operative word there) to qualify and play in a tour event. Big whoop. After all, the European’s made this move in 2004 and the USGA in 2005. But if you read some of the comments on various golf blogs, you’d think...
Lorena Who?
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? The No. 1 ranked player on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour recently announced her retirement and it barely registered. No extensive coverage on ESPN, no screaming headlines in USA Today. There...
Christina Kim isn’t a Pepper (fan)
I guess Dottie Pepper won’t get that free, signed copy of “Swinging from My Heels: Confessions of an LPGA Star” anytime soon. At least not if Christina Kim’s recent series of tweets about the former LPGA star, turned golf analyst/commentator are any indicator. Behold one of Kim’s tweets: Love how Dottie Pepper...
A Media Day Humbling
Professional golf is like NASCAR, the pro stock car racing circuit. No, not the PGA Tour’s silly FedEx Cup points-based playoffs, which is modeled after NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup. What I mean is this: The 180-horsepower Ford Taurus you can buy from the car dealer, no matter how much you...
LPGA Safeway Classic 2009 – M.J. Hur Video
A couple of clips for your viewing pleasure courtesy of @GolferWriterGuy who battled pushy wire service photographers to get some great shots of M.J. Hur’s winning putt and her press conference.
Golfweek’s Beth Ann Baldry (who regardless of what you may think of her as a writer, impressed me by possibly being the only traditional media reporter who readily was on the course viewing play) had this to say about Hur’s win and subsequent press conference.
Give a look and listen and see if you agree with Baldry’s take.

Rookie Hur Wins LPGA Safeway Classic
PORTLAND, Oregon – Rookie M.J. Hur shot a final round 65, the low round of the day, and won the LPGA Safeway Classic with a birdie at the 17th hole in a three-way playoff over Suzanne Pettersen and Michele Redman. One of 21 rookies on tour this year and the...
Heads Up! Cute Head Covers Are All the Rage
There’s an army of animals on the LPGA Tour. Cute, fuzzy little animals. Cartoon characters. School mascots, too. Standard issue golf club head covers, designed to keep clubs from clanking (and help advertise club makers), are out. Boring! Instead, many of the world’s best women golfers express their personality and...
