Wrong. If she were UGLY, there would be no invite.IndyFrisco wrote:If she were white

Yeah, you're pretty much missing the point... that is, if there ever was one in such a deep, well thought take that entailed the following: "+9 after 13 holes at the Sony Open." Thread starter idiocy aside, you're still missig the point.Dinsdale wrote:Yeah, a 17 year old girl isn't cleaning house in the men's PGA events she's entered in.
Burn her at the stake.
Never mind she's playing with the men as a 17 year old girl...she sucks.
I'm not sure what's up with the unreasonable expectations placed on one of the more talented youth golfers in history.
Sorry, Kendra, I thought the point would be obvious to people posting in a golf forum. Yes, she needs to learn how to win playing against women before she thinks about taking on the men. I’m sure you can relate.Ken wrote:Yeah, you're pretty much missing the point... that is, if there ever was one in such a deep, well thought take that entailed the following: "+9 after 13 holes at the Sony Open."

Hopefully the sponsors will stop giving her these exemptions and let her actually qualify to make a tournament the way Suzy Whaley did.Dinsdale wrote:Yeah, a 17 year old girl isn't cleaning house in the men's PGA events she's entered in.

How much publicity is she going to give an event where the best drawing and viewing days are on Saturday and Sunday? She's gone by then.Dinsdale wrote:Uhm...no.
The point is that sponsors want her to play in their event, to give the event more publicity. And since that is her main function there, she does it quite well...which is evident from a thread about her performance on this very forum.
$$$$
Light coming on yet?
And she's accomplished more on the pro tours than one Tiger Woods did at her age.

Scratch means nothing on the PGA tour. For example, at Pebble Beach, the scratch rating is 73.8. You shoot 73 three days in a row at Pebble and you're not getting in on Sunday without a ticket.Goober McTuber wrote:Though Tiger was a scratch golfer at age 13, he missed the cut in the first 7 PGA events he played in (1992-1994). The first cut he made was at the 1995 Masters, at age 19.
Please tell me you know that the cut is done after 2 rounds on the PGA, not 3.BSmack wrote:Scratch means nothing on the PGA tour. For example, at Pebble Beach, the scratch rating is 73.8.

Please tell me that you know the cuts are done differently at Pro Ams?IndyFrisco wrote:Please tell me you know that the cut is done after 2 rounds on the PGA, not 3.BSmack wrote:Scratch means nothing on the PGA tour.

Which further supports my point that Tiger might not have accomplished any more than Michelle Wie has had he turned pro at a younger age. Thank you.BSmack wrote:Scratch means nothing on the PGA tour.

Ah...we were on different pages. I thought you were talking any tourney in general.BSmack wrote:Please tell me that you know the cuts are done differently at Pro Ams?IndyFrisco wrote:Please tell me you know that the cut is done after 2 rounds on the PGA, not 3.BSmack wrote: Scratch means nothing on the PGA tour.
