Steve Nelson, CGCS said: I don't think I could get up from that stance either. It must be working though- she didn't three putt for the entire tournament. Hard to believe that Wie is only 24, seems like she's been around forever. Too bad the women's tour doesn't get much media attention, seems like there's some good energy there with a lot of up and coming american girls. Might help grow the game if they put them on tv more. Men's tour is a bit stale right now without Tiger.
I agree with you, the women are doing a much better job at reaching out via social media. TV is killing them right now, unless one has the golf channel, I saw Polo on my NBC channel Saturday and some Volkswagen rally on Sunday before the tournament, and I can't see how they would draw more viewers than the golf.
I did wonder and tweet that if Michelle's win could help with growing the women's game more and with growing the game in general? Like a mini Tiger effect? I think it is just a vast market really looking to explode if it would get a little push. I look at all the women college golfers and think if we could keep them engaged after their playing days somehow?
I will say if I tried putting like that I would be anchoring the putter because of my belly.
