Charisma is what fills golf galleries

M y wife is convinced that all the bird noises you hear on televised golf events are fake.

I wish I had the means to play more golf, I enjoy the long walks!

Good points about the attractiveness of players. I like it when players act as human as the rest of us. Emotionless cold automatons playing robotically are boring. I will take watching Lefty Mickelson shank one anyday over the boredom some players induce.
Isn't Creamer like nineteen? And Annika Sorrenstam was always fun to watch, because she interacted with the fans so well. They need more American players to be like her.
Michelle Wie will get there, you can see in her face that she just wants to play. It is sad that the LPGA couldn't let a draw like her in the Tourney.

Are you talking about the U S Open???? The LPGA does not sponsor nor co-sponsor the U S Open so they have no input about who plays or not.

The LPGA's worst nightmares have now become reality and the bad news is these are the recurring types of nightmares. Oh, and there is no good news, no good news at all.

LOL, Bill! But that did not stop your own paper from a Monday morning eiditon that is NOTHING BUT about Golf!

Evidently, like with the endless and droning coverage of Michael Jackson, the reporting of a local golf event completely drowns out all other news!

The MCall shows daily why I am getting closer and closer to not renewing my annual subscription when the time comes. I have to go to the web anyway to find world news and any other news of any substance. Why pay for it in a thinner and thinner rag of a, now, newsletter? Minus all the golf boredom, it took me about three minutes to read what little of any importance that could be found.

LPGA is dying tower of babel. 7 tournaments canceled for 2010. commissioner recently dumped. zombie like korean girls dominate tour. 1993 last time u.s. player was player of year. death by multiculturalism.

Lets limit the number of zombie look-a-likes in all future events or the LPGA will never be popular...Keeping Wie and Gulbis out was a big mistake...Also way too many amatures..Give the people what they want and women in future events that the paying public can relate to.

Uhh, excuse me but the USGA, which runs the Womens Open, not the LPGA, is all about Amatuers!!!

One of the beauties of that tournament WAS the amateurs!

How 'bout a Jessica Korda (age 15) shooting the best round of the final day? How 'bout an Alexis Thompson (age 14) scoring much better than several other "seasoned" players?

What a unique component was provided to us at Saucon Valley by the amateurs and USGA!
