LPGA

I enjoy watching the LPGA as much as I do watching the PGA. I suppose the added feature of feminine pulchritude doesn't hurt any in its appeal, but these gals have wonderful athletic strokes and are a pleasure to watch simply because it is good golf. Sophia Gustafson was driving the ball over 280 yards off the tee. That gives you some idea of the caliber of their game. Incidentally, two of three players tied for first place were Swedes. which goes along pretty well with Settergren. But Christie Kerr won the playoff, and because she is an American I was just as pleased that she won.

This week's Safeway tournament in Portland Oregon was special for me because Allison Fouch, a Grand Rapids gal, finished tied for eleventh place with five others. She ended one stroke over the top ten players. Her take home pay was $27,000. It was a 54 hole tournament, or $500.00 per hole. Not bad eh!!
