Just stop for a moment and applaud the legend, who at 84 years old, just broke her age (AGAIN!) in the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. 80 strokes today for the Great Gundy, Joanne Gunderson Carner. 👊🇺🇸

When I turned pro in ‘87, I gave myself 2 years to get my

So sad learning of the passing of Bobby Knight. Coming off a mega-low in my

Still haven’t seen match 9 with with Corpuz and Stark all square (term used purposely) but we’ve seen dragonflies mating.
The focus on the first tee sizzle while making it impossible to follow the actual substance of the matches out on the course already is maddening. So much emphasis on growing women’s golf, show the GOLF.

Thank you, Adam. Was blessed to have played the LPGA Tour when I did and to learn from so many of the 13 founders. They are now all gone but their legacy, going back to 1950, speaks to their passion, vision and resilience— competitors but still looking out for each other. RIP…
