Lexi Thompson makes 2011 LPGA debut at Avnet LPGA Classic

Print"Alexis Thompson made her first start of the 2011 golf season at this week’s Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile, Ala. Playing on a sponsor’s exemption, the long-hitting 16-year-old teed it up with Kraft Nabisco Champ Stacy Lewis, top-ranked Yani Tseng, Michelle Wie, and a star-studded field of 144 golfers that included the top 10/9 players in the world."
Lexi after the first round was a more than respectable 1 under, while Lewis had a fine 4 under round of 68. Yani had a shocker and posted a miserable, by her standards, 5 over 77. One should remember however, that she is still only a kitten.
"Tseng, however, may have something to say about the outcome. A win for the four-time 2011 winner would give her the career grand slam - but only if she wins the US Open next month! She became the youngest player in LPGA history to win three majors when she clubbed/finessed her way to the 2008 LPGA Championship, 2010 Kraft Nabisco, and 2010 Women’s British Open".
She will also need to go very low tomorrow to make the cut, but please do remember, she's just a kitten.

Wendy darlin...got a call this AM...early AM from my brother.
He was laughing,,,nay, he was cackling and the static was fierce….He said they were in the tail end of a good storm….Seas were running about 18-20 ft. and wind about 30 mph….they were running on the desel and still making 7-8 knots….They trimmed all sheets about 9pm just when the rough weather came in…lasted 6 hrs. He said he had put on foul weather gear, and straped himself in at the helm…wanted to see how the boat took it….he said the righting motion was great, and just a slow wollow in the troughs….He said they were a bit ahead of schedule on the Wine, and Tea so I guess that’s good….He also said that all systems were functioning great….
You have to understand my brothers humor…kind of dark….but he said that at my age I would appreciate the Postuer Pedic mattresses whilst making love at my age…..HA!..They had caught some kind of fish, and he said one of the guys baked it in the oven and it was the best seafood he had ever had….Weighed about 10 lbs or so, so one whole flllett is in the freezer…Still didn’t know when they’d make port….Guess they’re having a good time…They have all sailed and raced together for years, so should all get along well….STUB

Not surprised about the winds, STUB
although I assumed they would be favourable rather than against as they’re coming from the NE to us. Glad she’s proving to be everything promised. Please be advised that I may be prepared to play golf in most adverse conditions, but I am most definitely a fair-weather sailor. Should you make it back over to IOW, I don’t want my martini shaken or stirred, except by my own fair hand. The mattress is TMI, thank you. Let us know when they get to Miami?
Scrums;...I owe's ya an apology....Watching the
toonament in NAWLINS (that’s how it’s pronounced folks) they ran about 4 ads for Maxfli Golf Balls….Go Figger…well, I guess they still makes them….Hit them well my friend and stay thirsty….STUB
STUB
Stub.........no worries...........
Maybe Maxfli is more popular in Wales and Louisiana than Texas!!!……..:0)
Pricewise huge difference between Maxfli and Titleist Prov’s……….probably why I find so many of them!.

Stubbo
Last summer someone gave me a box of the new Maxfli’s. I am a Titleist player , but i got to tell ya, I really liked the feel of the maxfli’s. A good ball performance wise for the price. good feel on the greens to.

NAWLINS
Best food in the world! IMHO!
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

GNOS...right on...If you can't fulfill your stomaches
requests there, it doesn’t exist…Love K-Pauls, Commanders Palace…and ya cant beat the Hotel Ponchatrain for Martini’s…Large and Ice cold…yum!…and for lunch, More Martini’s and a shrimp PO_BOY…..STUB
STUB
Love K-Pauls & Commander's is my favorite!
also Brigtsen’s, Arnuad’s, The Court of Two Sisters, Mr. B’s, Ralph & Kacoo’s (just to name a few) & you can’t leave the City without a Muffaletta from Central Grocery!
I’ve still got to get to Mother’s for “The Debris.”
If you tried, you couldn’t find a bad meal.

Damm Gnos...ya gots me so hungry, I'm drooling
I ain’t had a Muffalettta from C. Grocery for some time…Had to close my eyes and lean back to remember it…Delicious….With a cold one….stay thirsty my friend…STUB
STUB
It's still a Muffaletta,,,,jis not as good...
no one makes them like the Central Graocery….Hot and deeeelishus….STUB
STUB
Wendy darlin...boat update....My damm brother and his
band of merry men, are sailing in Lazy circles out there, jist to see how she does in different wind directions….He (my brother) said you can steer her with fingertips she responds so well….When I get my hands on him, I’ll give him fingertips…
He asked if I would consider meeting him and the guys for drinks in California at the LA yacht cllub…I asked why, and he said they may sail her there….I’m going to break his leg when I get my hands on him….STUB
STUB
HEY...get a grip you two....You didn't ask what it WAS...
you asked what it was CALLED if you had it had home…I gave you a correct answer…Tit for Tat I calls it….They sure is good and they don’t make them anywhere in the USof A like they do in Nawlins…STUB
STUB
Ho Ho!
“when it’s at home” is just an expression, indicating that one hasn’t the faintest idea of the meaning. I did not ask what it was CALLED if you had it at home. Do get with the vernacular ;o
Your brother certainly sounds as though he is enjoying himself.
I assume he intends to stay out until all the wine is finished.
OH no you don't...no wiggling out of this one...
You Asked “What’s a Muffaletta at home”…my reply was “It’s still a Muffaletta”….Don’t go hanging all that ret-a-rik stuff out there to try and confuse the issue…
Just an expression? Where? maybe in the UK, but not in the USofA…Please be more explicit when asking a question…Local vernacular do not apply…It’s only good on home turf, not world wide…so there to…
If he stays out until Hell freezes over, I’m still going to bop him on the nose…The wine has to give out sometime…that alone will have him making land fall….I guess they should be here in the next day or two, but as I’m in NY until the 6th, still won’t get to see her until after then….
I’m going to be careful as to how I communicate with you….I understand from our FBI that M15 and Interpol are interested in you, Easy and Scrums…What the heck did you guys do this time?…..STUB
STUB
I understand from our Foreign Office
that you are the common denominator – apparently you have been soliciting bets – is that legal in USofA? What else is on that boat of yours, I wonder?
Look, Dafto, why would I think a Muffaletta made at home would have a different name to a commercially made one?
Who Me ? Soliciting Bets? Why would I do
that ?…If your refering to that date you and Easy have hatched up, it Was Scrums who said he would accept any and all bets….He even said he would hold the money, so how does that involve me.? I would do no such thing, as if your going to gamble here in the USofA, you have to purchase a Gamblers Tax Stamp…
What is this statement…wonder what’s on the boat?…I haven’t seen or been on it, so how woud I know…Are you trying to confuse the issues here?
And name calling seems to be evidence of how neurotic you’ve gotten over this….For shame, For shame….Who knows what or how your mental abilities become impared when into the Red early on….Jeeech !…STUB
STUB
Hah!
Back at ya! Mr. Scrums agreed to hold the bets (under duress from you) but is an absolutely respectable person. Unlike you.
Natch you wouldn’t be ON the boat – doesn’t mean you’re not responsible for what she brings in. Just saying……
Yep respectable is my middle name......
So the muff thing is a hot olive and ham sandwich kind of?

Mr Scrums...If you google it, you can see
the whole receipe….I think the bread they bake themselves has a lot to do with it too…But the combination of flavors is out standing, with a cold one of course…Say Mr Scrums…do you sense that Ol Wendy has been at the Sherry a bit early?….STUB
STUB
Stub,sherry conjures up visions of........
old ladies at Xmas time drinking a few glasses before dinner,after they’ve poured half a bottle into the trifle already!! Gotta tell you I dont see Wendy like that.More of the bottle of red/gin and tonic kind of girl………If I ever go to New Orleans I’ll try a Muffaletta with a cold bottle of Jax :0)

Can manage a few glasses
of cold sherry with my tapas – otherwise you’ve got me pegged on the red wine, G&T, Scrums. Had some Pernod a couple of evenings ago, not bad.
Chilled Manzanilla with chorizo and olives.......
a lot better than Bristol Cream with your great aunt at Xmas !!!

Hell Scrums...If someone pours it
in a glass, Ol Wendy will drink it…STUB

Dunno Stub........
I think Wendy has taste although Pernod is not for everyone !!

Don't have a sweet tooth
so refute STUB’s assertion.
May have to put the sunlounger up for sale on e-bay due to personal insults.
The original is served cold

Scrums...you jist let me know when,
and I will meet you, and EM, you and I will do it up right…..May get swept out with the trash in the Morning, but we’ze goons howl all night….STUB
STUB
Speaking of getting swept out with the trash....
My first time to Nola, we went to Big Daddy’s on Bourbon St. at some point in the early morning they asked everyone to go out side while they had a shift change, where they proceeded to “hose” out the interior. After about 30 minutes they reopened and we went back inside. Truly, the city that never sleeps.

That was the best "airplane" food I ever had......
when we stopped by Central Grocery on the way to the Airport!
Can you still do that these days? Bring your own food on board? Or would TSA have to inspect the Muffaletta?:)

-R. Zimmerman
Gnos...yes, you can still pick up one to go...Howsomever,
those Idiots from the TSA would probably keep it for their own enjoyment….My suggestion is because you have to get to the Airport so damm early, eat it whilst waiting to board…And of course, have a cold one with it….(eat your heart out Easy)….STUB

Chip - you're undoing all your good work
by forgetting to change your Fantasy Team – you’re supposed to stay ahead of Progolf and Em for heaven’s sake!
I switched from Srixon
to TaylorMade last year and prefer them. Depends upon the player or it may be all in the mind?
A bit of both, I'd say
it depends on your game. I like a good feel on the short game, it doesn’t matter too much when driving. I don’t like the rocks like Donnay and the old Pinnicle hard balls. Putting with those for me feels like crazy golf !
And she missed the cut!
Bugger… there goes the Grand Slam. Never mind, she has the US Open to make amends:)
