Congratulations go to Paula Creamer for her patience when asked the following question by Pam Warner, LPGA Media Coordinator, in a pre-tournament press conference. Q. Do you think at all, this is Michelle Wie’s home course, do you think at all about the fact that she’s not here, do you wish maybe you could take her on on her home course? PAULA CREAMER: Well, I come out every week playing the golf course, so to me it doesn’t really matter who is in the field. Obviously you want a strong field and you want the best players there. Ultimately I just ... full post »

While doing a little surfing through various golf websites, I discovered the transcript of yesterday’s press conference with Tiger Woods. The daily scribes all make an attempt to ask El Tigre penetrating questions, sort of like they have an interview with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. The verbiage is flying and the descriptive clauses are tacked on to every noun. Sometimes it’s a wonder how Tiger can decipher the exact answer. On the other hand sometimes Tiger doesn’t want to. Reading the questions is far more entertaining than the stock answers. It reinforces my theory that those ... full post »

Bet you thought you might never see those headlines again. Who was it? Here’s a hint. This individual is just 20 years old with two prior professional victories both in 2005. Okay, it’s Paula Creamer, a girl with more charisma than all the J.B. Holmes’ and Charlie Hoffman’s put together. And the story lines are just starting to develop on the LPGA. Creamer was one of the big questions for the 2007 season: Could she/would she win? Yes and yes. Storylines. That’s what generates interest in professional golf. That’s why the LPGA will be far most interesting in ... full post »

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – the LPGA begins its 2007 trek around the world on Thursday in Hawaii. I said it last year and I’ll repeat it now, “There’s more drama in store for the LPGA in 2007 than the PGA.” The PGA Tour has been boxed in by the golf media, television in particular. It’s all Tiger all the time unless he doesn’t play and then they turn to Phil. And if there’s no Phil and no Tiger, well, you get the picture. The LPGA generates a better cast of characters. In ... full post »

Okay, I couldn’t resist this sharing the following with all of our faithful readers who are constantly struggling to squeeze a few more yards from their drivers. There is apparently a great dilemma: Do I try to achieve greater distance or do I want to find my ball? This is from thegolfchannel.com and can be found in the Q and A section with Frank Thomas. Thomas used to be the USGA’s technical guru and now he is The Golf Channel’s technical guru. I’m kind of wondering if Billy from Michigan has any fun playing the game while he’s worrying about swing speed, ... full post »

Okay, I couldn’t resist this sharing the following with all of our faithful readers who are constantly struggling to squeeze a few more yards from their drivers. There is apparently a great dilemma: Do I try to achieve greater distance or do I want to find my ball? This is from thegolfchannel.com and can be found in the Q&A section with Frank Thomas. Thomas used to be the USGA’s technical guru. Now he is the GC’s technical guru. I’m guessing they just pass these guys around. So in this little exchange I’m wondering if Billy from Michigan has any ... full post »
