Unfortunately, Annika is long gone. Then the wonderful Lorena Ochoa piled on by retiring also.

I like Yani, but genes weren't kind to the poor girl.

I guess Annika wanted babies. Now there's only lesbians in women's golf.

Michelle Wie is a lesbian?

See if you can guess whose golf-playing daughter this is. She's celebrating her first LPGA title: the Australian Open. Just like Daddy!

Shes much better looking than him. Is she a lesbian?

Gosh, I don't know. But you can always hope!

Don't look now, but the LPGA has a major going on this weekend, their second of the year. I have no idea when the first one was, or who won it. A Korean player is leading this one right now.

Sun-Young Yoo won the first one. I have no idea who that is. They're all on Golf Channel now.

I thought so, but wasn't sure things had gone that far. Talk about the collapse of a sport.

I am going to watch this. Grace Park finished up her round and her career. Retired. Too bad; I liked her.

I like this leader! Shanshan Feng: she's a rare Chinese player, and she's chubby (also pretty rare out there these days). Her face reminds me of Capriati, but she's cuter, and seems to be a happier sort of kid, not so edgy.

Shanshan Feng ... Her face reminds me of CapriatiAnd her nickname is Jenny! Anyway, congrats to her, because she won. Let's see if her win will do for Chinese women's golf what Se Ri Pak's accomplishments did for Korean. I'm sure the LPGA bosses really hope so.

I've never seen a chubby Chinese girl like that. She seems fun, though.
Poor LPGA. They had to resort to giving Rochester NY a slam. They've never cared about that tournament. At some point, they'll have to shut down and give the tour to Asia.

Looking at the leaderboards most weeks, I don't think it matters who wins. Unless Wie or Creamer go rampant.

How's attendance? I mean, if people are going, it'll stay afloat.

Post by Old Hag on Jun 11, 2012 12:23:11 GMT -5
Golf attendance is always tricky to confirm. It's more about sponsors anyway. They're surprisingly still doing well there, even if it's stores like Wegmans.

Speaking of Wie, what the hell happened to her?? She started her career with a few top-5 finishes in majors and now she's missing cuts? So is Natalie Gulbis, by the way, not that anyone expected so much from her. But she was once a top-10 golfer and now seems to have virtually disappeared.
Stacy Lewis and Paula Creamer are going to have to do. That Piller player could become popular, too. I like this Feng, though, and I hope she continues to do well.

Another Major for the women starts tomorrow, the US Open. Hoping for some surprises here to give this poor old sport a lift in the US.

Surprises like...a Thai winner? Indonesian? NORTH Korean? I'm not sure those would help.

I think Kim Wong Song will win, although Song Wong Kim has been very good lately, and you can never count Kim Song Wong out either.

No, the surprise needs to be a Blonde winner. Let's face it; the LPGA needs a Kournikova out there, but not you, Ernests Gulbiss. They need a Porni who can win.

They need more than a blonde winner. They need a really good non-ugly, non-Asian to head the tour. And then they need less Asians to dominate the tour. Even if you're not a hateful racist that can't tell any of them apart, does anyone really care which one of them wins.
Look back at the 90s when the LPGA was more popular. It was mostly middle-age Anglo women with enormous asses. If anything, there's many more attractive players now. The problem is the Asians and nothing to compare to Tigre.

You're right, I don't care about any of the Koreans since Se Ri Pak and Grace Park. But I like a couple of the Japanese players, and I like that Chinese woman who won the last Major.
The tour could have generated a lot more attention for Lorena Ochoa when she was dominating if they had bothered to try, but unfortunately that was when they were headed by that lunatic CEO Carolyn Bivens who dragged them into the ground. So we have: bad management + too many cookie-cutter Koreans and other anonymous Asian players + no charismatic, excellent golfer at the top + this: there are only 16 USians in the top 100 right now.
Even so, if any of this event is streamed, I might watch some of it. Maybe Michelle Wie will suddenly remember that the sport is more fun when you make the cut once in a while.
