Nice interview, but was there no place indoors you could have done that?
Placebos, of course, are things you have to swallow even though they contain nothing that actually helps you. It's like American health insurance in a pill. -BiPM
Steph, looked like a fun interview
I have wondered for a long time, how do most of the girls sustain themselves out there? I know about living arrangements, cause I used to do that for the LPGA girls when they played here in Dallas…With the increase in players, that further dilutes the prize money. How do the foreign players who have no family here make ends meet? With the cost of travel, etc, this all makes chasing your dream a bit harder….Just remember, swing smooth, and one shot at a time…you go girl….STUB
the increase in players ? Field sizes haven’t increased.
And don’t you love capitalism at work when these players go out and find sponsors who are willing to help (without gubmint interference) ? :-D
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Court, that is kinda what I was
getting at, but got distracted for a couple of seconds by a simply gorgeous Yellow Bikini going by…My reference to the number of players, is that there are more to be trying for each event, is that not so?…Years back, a couple of guys and myself sponsored about 5-6 who started out on the Asian, African tours…A couple had real promise, but alas, never did make ti to the Big Show….Outside of family, how these kids getting their money? Are any getting endorsement money?….STUB
yeah yeah yeah – without proof of said yellow bikini (obviously trying to catch your attention) – I can’t give you credit for that misstatement.
It doesn’t matter how many players try to get in through qualifying or by Tour card status – the fields are the same size, and the cut line is still right around the same number every tournament.
Yes – endorsments – off season jobs – lessons – family – bake sales – I’ve met a few guys who took out loans (which surprised me – they had no collateral) – and there are some who borrow on their homes. It’s not easy.

I liked the news center 6 video available by clicking the button on the right side of vid.
Interview about a guy that plays Hackeysack and the headline says, Blows tournament after flipping his sack over teammates head. LMAO Other than that good interview in the wind Ryan.
