Wow, I heard you were a prick. I guess they were right, but it is the fourth of July(almost), so we will give the golf press and bloggers, as bad as most of you are a break, so go break a leg....... a neck, and so on.

Well, Pat Hurst seems like a nice lady, and I find her cute. Although, not many will understand what I mean by that.

You point about the double standard is spot-on, though. Men are fair game for most any kind of taunting nowadays, while women possess that PC immunity.

Having said that, one of the reasons I was rooting for Hurst was that she was fat (I know that sounds strange). Now, I'm not trying to justify myself because I'm lean and mean, but doesn't anyone tire of this modern cult of the body? There's inordinate emphasis on the physical, with everyone wanted to be ripped, chiseled and rock hard. And personally, I find it shallow and tiresome. I like the fact that there are some golfers on the scene who are built for comfort, not speed.

I'd like to see people place more emphasis on beautifying their interior and less on the exterior. We've reached a point where people's souls are rotting and no one cares as long as the wrapper is pretty.

Congrats Jugdge... you, finally, wrote something that not only makes good sense but reveals your kindly nature.

And I agree that more people should place the health of their inner being (souls as you put it) before their exterior shell. Although, keeping both in good shape at the same time is what we should all strive for.

Given a glimpse of your "kindler & gentler" nature, I don't know why you "rag" on Michelle so much? It's not her fault that the media has blown everything she does out of proportion. And maybe the Wie Warriors are partially responsible too with the constant hype of her abilities but their just fans who love her. Even Tiger had his rabid fans (media too) before winning his first major at the age of 20.

Michelle seems to be a very nice person and even though she has not won yet, you must agree that she is an exceptional golfer (man or woman and at any age).

How about the lass with the big biceps? She was pretty impressive. I was waiting for Inkster to steal another one from AS. Actually, had AS not won the playoff, we would have had two Open gags in three weeks.

Judge you have convinced me you are quite the metrosexual, you old dog.

Hey I just like to watch people who perform well on the golf course. It don't matter what they look like I am into watching the game they bring with them.

Pat left everything she had on the golf course Sunday and just couldn't keep pace with Annika on Monday.

One-putt,

Well, I'll have to shave a little more if I want to earn that title. Really, though, I think that the Greek statue routine is getting quite old. I actually respect someone more if he's secure enough to have a roll around his waist.

A lack of adequate cardio and the inability to control food proportions will cause serious health problems both in the present and future of a persons life. This is not "cute". These health problems are a TRUE BURDEN on society simply because they can be prevented. Spending budget funds on double wide hospital beds instead of providing better funding to find the cure for cancer and such is cruel to society. I don't feel bad for fat people or their "feelings" (lack of will power). One (especially a public figure) should set a good and healthy example for our youth, not help them make excuses.

Ahhsoo, If someone starts a blog about the effects of golf on the lower lumbar regions in Indonesian aborigines, how long do you think it will take you or some other Wie Warrior to introduce Bubbles into the mix? Enough, already!

Dez,

As I indicated, with my fast metabolism weight has never been a problem for me. However, not everyone is the same. A woman close to me can't lose weight no matter what she does, and she eats practically nothing (I know this FIRST hand).

More importantly, though, the real problem isn't people's physical condition but the attitude implicit in your comments.

You say that such people are a burden on society. Well, my friend, that's not a problem of a free land, that's a problem of socialism. In other words, the problem isn't that some people chose to smoke, drink too much and overeat, the problem is that we've quite stupidly crafted a socialist system wherein other people are held responsible for the consequences of those decisions.

It's very dangerous to entertain the notion that people's rights need to be limited so as to prevent them from "burdening society," which is often the implication when people espouse your belief. It's a recipe for creeping tyranny: make government (of course, it's just us acting collectively) responsible for the people, observe that many people are acting in ways that we deem irresponsible, note that these people are a "burden" on government, then remove their authority over their lives to some degree and give it to the government. After all, he who pays the piper calls the tune. With authority comes responsibility and with responsibility comes authority, as a writer once said. This is why it's so dangerous to make government responsible for the welfare of the people.

By the way, homosexuals "burden" society far more than the obese. You should take a gander at their health and mortality statistics.

I hate Chris for his Michelle bashing but I agree with him on Pat Hurst. She is fat and she should lose weight.
Self respect dictates it. How can she look at herself on TV and not be embarassed? I feel embarassed for her.

She looks like a 500 lb baby elephant
hacking at the ball and it gets worse when you compare her with Michelle who looks so elegant and sleek.

You're right Chris the USGA and the LPGA are grateful for Annika's win

Jennifer Lo

Ehh Alex, you might want to tell your buddy, Chris Baldwin, the same thing. He writes a column on New Jersey closing its Atlantic City casinos and inserts Michelle Wie's name at the bottom. He does this as a professional columnist, reporter, writer, etc. AND you rag on me, a nothing blogger.

The context of my post was that Judge Smails, a strong critic of Michelle in past blog entries, now showing a softer side and how this reconciles with his past writings on her.

Could be you were the only one to not see the nexis?

Waaaaaaaa!!!

I'm sure you'll diss anything said about MW anyway so get over it.

Ahhsoo, Well, you really got the hive stirred up. Oh, I see the connection all right. I just don't see why it is necessary. It'll be Bubbles from here on in. putt4par, where in hell have you been? You must have missed the bus back to the home.

Nope, just sitting here being quietly amused at you and J.Smails posting outrageous garbage tha actually outranks CBs efforts.

Besides, I figured I just had to comment so that you and JS would have something to do besides re-line your dentures.

Oh, btw, there was a short bus driver that got on the Greyhound cruiser and said he was looking for you. Said it was the second time you missed your ride back to the group home..
Been missing your meds lately? I do believe CB has missed his meds a time or 3 also.

Cheers, Alex. Like Arnie, I'll be back.

AhhSoo,

There really is nothing to reconcile because there is no contradiction between these positions. Hurst's physical state and Bubbles' actions and comportment are very different things.

By the way, softness and hardness are two sides of the same coin; they balance each other out. And I'm a man who wears innumerable hats.

There seems to be a lot of quality information and industry information on the newswire constantly diminshed with Baldwin's little petty takes and agendas. Patty Hurst won the Dinah Shore, joins Patty Burg, Meg Mallon, Amy Alcott, Laura Davies as big-bodied women who have sustained the tour through many years. His comments are so pathetically off base and immature it's incredible. Just another little geek with psychological issues hiding behind a keyboard.
