Yes, 9 birdies are impressive regardless
of who does it.

As a man, I am compelled to spend most
of my time watching PGA and Nationwide
Tour events because I desperately want
to believe that I COULD someday hit the
ball as far and/or score as well as any
of those guys.

But, truth be told, I'm consistently
amazed with the LPGA Tour. Especially
as of late. People are always talking
about how effortlessly the PGA Tour
players swing the golf club and how far
the resulting shot goes. But what I am
truly amazed at--especially being a
caddie--is the amazing display of course management skills being practiced by
every LPGA Tour player on a regular
basis. They certainly leave their ego's
at the door. A 220 carry over water?
Why not hit a 7-iron and a wedge and make your
birdie the smart way?

Anyway. I respect their self-control.
That's always something I preach to my
players but can never accomplish on my
own.

Your research on Michelle Wie is wrong. See Beverly Klass.

ed: a fine point, thanks for pointing that out. I'll be sure to fix that in the future.
