LPGA player Annika Sorenstam will be teeing off shortly in a men's PGA event at the Colonial Country Club [the first time in 60 years this has happened]

Live shot for shot coverage as long as she is in contention to make the cut on USA Networks, PGA Radio is free today for those cubicle bound and wanting live update (link included)

Did anyone else think that Rush Limbaugh got off this subject very quickly. He usually loves to talk about golf but he made a short update then moved on.

[KellyAdmirer]

For her game, a wet course is ideal. Not making mistakes does not impress, but others clearly have lower expectations for her.

And the point is, say she had hit those, while those guys still missed theirs, she's a stroke off the lead.

[MineralMan]

"And he's on the green in 17 folks!"

I see you've played the game. I play better on the real course.

I don't know which game that is, but the Scottish announcer on USA is on the new Tiger Woods golf game for the Playstation 2. He's much more animated on the game, so it's funny listening to him now.

[KellyAdmirer]

Feeling a bit defensive, LPGA fans?

[Charles Henrickson]

Someone please explain to me why women don't excel in auto racing. . . .

They keep stopping to ask for directions.

That and the bathroom breaks.

[lunatic12]

"Get back to me when the Annaka beats Tiger or a WNBA team beats the Lakers. Annaka is playing well"

I think women win a lot of spelling bees too. Not sure if any are named Annika though.

[GallopingGhost]

Here comes the Horrible Horseshoe, 3, 4, and 5.

If she gets through the next three should should be in great shape for the day. Since I am not in front of a TV, is the weather improving? Dryer greens are definately going to hurt the guys teeing off this afternoon.

[Steve_Seattle]

Everyone keeps saying this is a short course, but on the front nine there are two 470 yard 4's and a 246 yard 3 - doesn't sound short to me.

[vollmond]

Oh, that's "59". I don't know if I'll be able to focus on work the rest of the afternoon.

[ewing]

[N. Theknow]

"And he's on the green in 17 folks!"

"Yes, Jim. It appears the best two balls he hit all day was when he stepped on that rake."

[b4its2late]

That and the bathroom breaks.

And two of them have to go together......

[OPS4]

Maybe he is waiting for her to lose!
Ops4 God Bless America!

[William McKinley]

Drive for show, putt for dough.

[Mr. Mojo]

But that's golf. One can say "if" until one is blue in the face. I'm a 4 handicap, but IF 3 or 4 of my putts per round traveled just 1 or 2 centimeters in a different direction, I'd me a scratch golfer. ....And if my aunt had gonads, she'd be my uncle.

ewing, where are the pix coming from?
