Dear Golf Channel
Hey there, Golf Channel! Lovin' your extra coverage of the LPGA Lotte Championship and of course I'm totally psyched that Ai Miyazato's tied for the lead at the halfway point. I couldn't help but notice, though, that it took awhile for the ...
Dear Golf Channel

Editor’s Note: A profile of Yani Tseng appears on pg. 74.
Man, those editors at Golf Magazine are quick with the comebacks! After LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan politely but resolutely roasted their ridiculous decision to name Rory McIlroy their Player of the Year instead of everyone's obvious choice, Ya N...
Paging the Asahi Shimbun
I've never had to call out an entire newspaper before, but after reading "S. Korean golfers dominate Japan, world," by Atsuo Negishi and Issei Sakakibara (courtesy of a thread at Seoul Sisters.com), I have to question the Asahi Shimbun's editorial judg...
Paging Steve Elling
Steve Elling took the misguided meme of "parity" on the LPGA to an absurd extreme yesterday. That's the only way to understand his suggestion that having half a dozen players at the top of their games at about the same time and duelling for every sing...
Paging Geoff Shackelford
Yo, Geoff! You love it when players mouth off about ridiculous (re)designs, right? Well, get a load of what Laura Davies said after her opening 70 at the LPGA Tour Championship left her 3 shots behind leaders Seon Hwa Lee and Amy Yang:Q. Tell us abou...
Is It Even Worth Paging the AP at This Point?
How it is possible that the AP's main preview story for the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge gets basic facts wrong about the 2 most prominent golfers in the tournament's field, Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer?It's hard to tell which is worse. The one about...
How Low Can the AP Go?
I haven't made the effort to identify who's responsible for the latest U.S. Women's Open preview from the Associated Press, but talk about using old talking points! The title: "Americans No Longer Dominate U.S. Women's Open." The theme: how badly Am...
A Slice of the Life of a Touring Pro at the Wegmans/LPGA Championship
Mika Miyazato interview 062210Originally uploaded by the_constructivist18Here's a picture I took right after my interview with Mika Miyazato came to a close yesterday morning at Locust Hill's media tent. The rain was drumming overhead, thunder was rum...
Paging Mick Elliott
I'm beginning to think Golf Fanhouse has it in for the LPGA. After getting rid of Shane Bacon, who at least caddies for Erica Blasberg every once in a while, they've come up with a new winner in Mick Elliott, who won't let an opportunity to diss the L...
Something Else to Be Thankful For: Golf Channel’s Spotlight on Ai Miyazato
On the road to Syracuse for Thanksgiving this morning, but couldn't resist passing along this attempt by Golf Channel to educate its viewers about Ai Miyazato during the 1st round of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational:If GC had a different spotlight player ...
Paging Bill Huffman…and Geoff Shackelford
Bill Huffman is a very angry man right now. And it's hard for me to blame him. If it were the Wegmans in Rochester that had bitten the dust and not the Phoenix event in his neck of the, uh, desert, I'd be far madder than he is. But with Geoff Shacke......
