Please don't post scores during the tournament

I wanted to look at the responses to Bill Jempty's FanPost about the Golf Channel showing final round action live . As I scrolled down I noticed more than one response had second and/or third round scores. Adding those spoils it for those of us who are anxiously awaiting quitting time at the office. I intend to rush home to watch whatever my DVR has captured without knowing the results; I can't be the only one.

If we need up-to-the-minute results, lpga.com does a pretty good job. The only thing you've accomplished is to keep people from checking WR for the remainder of the day. I'm sure Ryan will thank you for that.

D – this part of the tournament won’t be on TV. The coverage starting at 3 eastern will be live.

As soon as I saw that scores were posted I shut it down so I wouldn’t process any of them.

Truth has a well-known liberal bias.

Those scores won’t affect anything after 3:00….now if the tournament was over – I would be right there with you…

I won’t mention anything about scores until it’s been broadcast

I think that’s what she DOESN’T want – she’ll be able to watch it when she gets home and doesn’t want to know what’s going to be on the DVR.

If you’re recording the play today – pay real close attention about 8 minutes into the broadcast – they show Choi teeing off at 16 – I never realized how beautiful a swing she has. I wish I had that looped to watch over and over.
