nice job MD, happy for you

speaking of Brooke, my brother has seen her in action. He was surprised how short she is and did remark that she has soccer thighs.

look at this swing. at the top the club is WAY past parallel, WAY past, then she has an odd move to flatten it. Like all good golfers the R elbow stays close to her body . Tremendous torque. Balnced at the finish beautifully. Tiny kid hits it a mile. She's 5'4 and average driving distance is 265 yards. lol

I Dig Brooke. Just wish The Asian Girls would back the hell off, make their own Tour, GTFO.

I Dig also how Racist, Terrible and Ignorant that sounds. Just past tired of them leaderboards looking like the sound of a bunch of Metal Sporks crashing to the floor.

Brooke's a Goddess. Wonderful Personality and enough HUNGER/Love of Competition/Desire to Be Great to be able to loan enuff of that stuff to 112 Nick Kyrgios-es to make them WORK and still have massive Drive left over.

Short & Very Impressive Thighs, Yes alot of people thats what strikes them on first sight of Brooke. In Shorts or Short Dress anyways. I definitely would not want her to kick me.

amazing how successful the lady Asians have been in golf. What factors have led to this? work ethic?

imo, i'd say one key factor would be temperament . Asians, generally, are level headed; don't get too high, too low. Great for golf as this sport can drive one to the nuthouse. See Ian Baker Finch. :) Remember that dude? he was an Open Champion then flat out lost it. Hit it perfect on the range- get to the 1st tee and demons would take over. Read this story on a SI issue years ago; he had his caddie tee the ball for him on the 1st tee, then he'd run to the tee. LOL. Serious, could be bullshit? He didnt want to 'think' at address.

Personally I believe that the greater success of Asians on The LPGA Tour is due to the entire "Cultural Ways" within their countries.

A Few different deep and pretty interesting factors. You hit on much of this with "Focus". That runs as a current below some of these factors.

How their Schools (Educational Process) is set up. The fact that Females have only recently been more allowed to succeed in more "venues" than in the past, within certain Cultures......an Overall "Rising Up" of Girls.

Girl Power.

Earth In General.....on that last thing. Technology has brought, and will bring Massive Change. Literally on par with the widespread availability of Electricity. For Impact its gonna have. And is having.

I think theres a few different reasons we see The Asian Eclipse coming, on LPGA. While it would be easiest were they to just agree to GTFO maybe Canadian & USA Girls will try to and be able to keep up out there.

hear ya.


"You are either a champion, or you are nothing."

It is a line that encapsulates the sporting mentality that has seen South Korean golfers swarm the upper echelons of the women's game.
Since 2008, nearly 40% of the major championships on the LPGA Tour have been won by South Koreans. It boasts six of the world's top 10 ranked players and 40 of the top 100.




A fiercely competitive society married with an intrinsic dedication to getting better has fostered a generation of women that has transformed and revolutionized the game.
"Koreans are the most disciplined people on earth," PGA coach Brian Mogg, who has an academy in Seoul, told CNN's Living Golf show.
"You tell them to do something but they don't just do it, they do it to the nth degree, and they do it hard and passionate. When you put hard work and discipline together you're going to create some success."

Yeah.....That ^^^^ was in the neighborhood of what I wanted to say but didn't know how to. In less than 2000 Words lmao.

Theres some really deep deep stuff here, ancient too....in answer to "why" for the question you posed...per LPGA.

What I meant by whole "Cultural" stuff. The Question is a very interesting one, for sure.

To provide the very best incentive for Canadian & US Girls to Rock Some Golf I believe the $$$$ Prize Poolz and The "Prestige" (Attention & Publicity....Fame) have to someway be brought up to more near to what these things are for The Men's Game.

I have no idea how that would be accomplished.

Mannarino advances to third round with four-set win.

WHAT HAPPENED: Adrian Mannarino defeated Bjorn Fratangelo 6-3, 6-7, 6-1, 6-2 on Court 17 on Thursday to advance to the third round, the second straight Slam he's made it that far.
Mannarino is coming off a strong showing at Wimbledon, reaching the fourth round where he lost to Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6, 6-4.
On Thursday, Mannarino only needed one service break in taking the first set, but had trouble in the second. He was broken twice and came up empty in the tiebreak to drop the set as Fratangelo leveled the match at one set apiece.
He made quick work in the third, winning the set in 21 minutes, outscoring Fratangelo 25 points to 10. After the set was tied at 1-1, Mannarino won each of the next five games in quick succession.
The 29-year-old Frenchman then cruised in the fourth for the win over the 24-year-old American, who qualified as a wild card.

WHAT IT MEANS: Next up will be the winner of the match between No. 6 Dominic Thiem and Tayor Fritz. Mannarino is 0-5 in his career against Thiem and 2-0 against Fritz.
Fratangelo has been a wild card at the US Open in each of the past three years but hadn't earned a win in the main draw until this year. In eight Grad Slam main draws, he's only made it to the second round one other time (2016 French Open).

MATCH POINT: Mannarino has advanced to the second round without dropping a set. Lurking is a possible fourth-round matchup with 2009 US Open winner Juan Martin del Potro. Can he duplicate his success from Wimbledon and reach the fourth round of a major?
