Big deal. I shot 68 on the 1st six holes...
Hey Fred Couples, is that you? :)
I was at the practice round there on Tuesday and followed him for a couple holes - the kid is the real deal. Tom Watson was in the foursome and he would stand back to watch Guan tee off. He would smile and shake his head once off the tee - alot of fun to watch.
Naw, I still have sex and hate ugly pants...
He’s the real deal, but he’s the product of a system - robotic, no emotion, etc. If China wants to kill the PGA, just have the leader board flooded with robotic commies. The golden goose will die.
Korean domination has almost destroyed the LPGA.
the kid is having a pretty good 2 round too at 2 over par thru 13 when there are only 10 under par rounds from the entire field.
the course is playing really tought today.
“Korean domination has almost destroyed the LPGA.”
Maybe the Americans and Europeans gals could play better instead.
It is getting a bit better on LPGA. At least the leading players such as N.Y. Choi, Inbee Park & So Yeon Ryu etc can speak decent English and can smile.
Non-Korean players need to learn from the smooth swings of the Korean players. Paula Creamer would have become another Annika Sorenstam if she got rid of her violent body motion with the longer clubs.
Rickie Fowler playes well in wet weather.....go Rickie...get R done !!!!!
The infamous 18th “Windmill Challenge” at Joe's Putt-Putt Golf at Coney Island....I lost it....cracked!...Took a 10 and never played Putt-Putt golf again....Sad but true......*W*
That may be true, but you missed my point totally - which is - fans don't want a bunch of foreign golfers who all have similar sounding short names, look alike, and for the most part are robotic. The fans are turned off, and that's my point. As for the competitive aspect, I have no problem with it. Golf is a pure meritstocracy.
I think tall Asians with long torsoes may have a natural advantage in golf, and we should expect more of them competing at the top—whether government-sponsored or not.
My buddy and I had two Korean men in our weekly foursome. Funny guys, told us stories about their kids and what they did in business.
Their swings were identical. Mechanical. Down the center of the fairway, lay up, on the green and then they fell apart. Every Korean I played a round with was the same way.
LOL!
I actually went there years ago.
Far East Asian is genetically interesting. It is said today, man is composed of Neanderthal and Cro Magnon (modern) genes because both actually existed side by side and interbreeded, and Cro Magnon is suppose to be more aggressive and smarter then Neanderthal. Africans are suppose to have mostly Cro Magnon, Europeans have more Neanderthal, and Far East Asians have the most Neanderthal genes. Neanderthal is suppose to be less intelligent, yet Far East Asians have the highest IQ test scores while Africans in general have the lowest IQ test score. Go figure?!!! The other fact geneticist found is Far East Asians have a mutation that separates them from blacks and whites. Asians have thicker hair, more sweat glands and women in general have smaller breasts. Guess they traded more brains and less breasts? Well at least the white men and black men have more fun then the Far East Asian guys/ joke, but a very smart wife on the other hand can be very useful.
That may be the case - interesting point - still won’t sell with the public IMO.
Asians tend to have lower testosterone levels, by a bit, than whites, who have lower levels, by a bit, than blacks.
For men, high intelligence actually tends to be linked to lower testosterone—e.g., check out a college physics or math department. For women, however, it is linked to relatively higher testosterone levels—e.g., check out a college physics or math department.
Also, very athletic men are less likely to be very intelligent, whereas athletic women are more likely to be so.
As to Asian women and intelligence, obviously they haven’t been short-changed there, and of course there is more going on than what I’ve simply described.
