Julie Zimmerman made me spit up coffee all over my desk. “How the hell do you not remember to sign your scorecard? Did mommy and daddy forget to tell her?” It’s such a hard thing to do! Especially when your in the scoring area to do just that. How many pro tournaments has she played in? Did they teach her that at Stanford? Maybe she is the...
Joe Logan has the courage to say about Michelle Wie what everyone else is thinking except ESPN, Wie apologists and chumps. Here’s a few nuggets: “”It’s not every day that a woman is given the opportunity to play on the greatest tour in the world,” Wie said in a statement. “This is another step in the process of making me a better...
Here’s Doug Ferguson on Michelle’s announcement that she’ll be in Reno/Tahoe next week on the PGA Tour. Is this a good idea after failing to sign her scorecard last Friday? What kind of professional forgets to sign your card after firing a 65? You never see Natalie Gulbis or Paula Creamer or Morgan Pressel do anything like this at all. When mommy...
***Cue the music to “The Pink Panther!*** Golf fans and Internet junkies are pinning the needle on websites across America every time Paula Creamer plays well. With her U.S. Open near miss, golf hits were up across the Internet at a 100-200x rate. When Paula is in contention, eyeballs – both casual and fanatic – are on her every move. This week...
Conde Nast has decided to discontinue Golf For Women just hours after its editor-in-chief left to edit Oprah’s O magazine. This is disappointing for two reasons. First only tennis has the cross gender appeal of golf. No other sport has as dedicated a following. I know many of us rail at the sky when gender warriors try to use golf to advance a social...
Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus’s Sebonack G.C. in Southampton, NY will host the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open. Click here for the Cybergolf.com story. From the article: “It will be the first U.S. Women’s Open held on Long Island and the first time the championship will be conducted in New York State since 1973. Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck hosted...
Click here for the leaderboard. Pressel went off early and fired a bogey-free seven-under 65. Couple that with her bogey-free 69 from yesterday and you have two clean rounds in a row, impressive. Several contenders, including In-Bee Park and Suzann Petterssen are still on the course. Michelle Wie, (still playing the back nine of today’s round), had a first...
Hat tip: Awful Announcing. Booing David Stern? Must be that terrible Tin Donaghy.
Sergio Garcia fired a 66 to take a two-shot lead at the Players. Click here for Live at the 17th and the leaderboard.
Despite lunatics who think her head is where it should be for an 18 year old girl, Michelle Wie shot a four-over 75 to tie for 127th place in the Michelob Ultra Open.
Proving that she still makes headlines for doing nothing at all, Michelle Wie withdrew from the Safeway Open, citing a “re-tweaked” wrist. Tweak, tweak, tweak…maybe it’s time for some surgery. After all, how is she going to be the first woman in the Masters and Ryder Cup team if she can’t even hit balls out of the rough on the Stanford...
Look at this asinine ESPN article: “Wie ties for last in Fields Open, Creamer takes title.” She comes in last, finishes twenty shots back, and gets more ink than everyone else combined?! She gets not one, but three ESPN headlines including a picture. There’s no pic of the winner, but we MUST all know what Michelle is doing at all times...
According to an AP report, Congress will take another look at drugs in sports next week, with a hearing that will feature top names from all four major professional leagues, the NCAA and the U.S. Olympic Committee. A House subcommittee, working separately from the committee that held last week’s hearing featuring Roger Clemens, is holding a hearing Wednesday on...
There’s actually a lot happening in the Internet world of grass roots blogging this week. Three of the old school bloggers, Golf Chick, Golf Gal and The Golf Girl are all blogging over at Golf For Women. Congratulations ladies! Well Done. Next, Tony K of Hooked on Golf Blog is out on spring tour of new courses opening in southern Utah like The Ledges, a...

MIchelle Wie presently sits four shots clear of second-to-last at +8 as this goes to press. She can’t even beat Bettina Hauert, (BETTINA HAUERT!), a special invitee from the Ladies European Tour. BY the way, Hauert is in, but Natalie Gulbis is not. How does that work? Apparently the LPGA cames more about promoting their green-haired, yellow-rumped, one...
