Seems just as bad as the old one. Looks less like an app and more like a mobile version of the web page. Itâs clunky and slow. They must have the same app dev team as the PGAT. The thing that irks me the most is that all tee times shown are in local time. Which is never the time zone I am in. (GMT + 9-10).

Is that really her ball or is that a playing partnerâs ball who hasnât marked yet?
If thatâs her ball then this is ridiculous, leadership needs to take her aside after the round.

itâs her ball. not defending aimpoint for a putt like that in the slightest, but she stood over it for maybe two seconds

A Lim Kim is not someone who plays slow out there either.
Nobody would have said a thing if sheâd looked at the putt from the other side of the hole (which she didnât) instead of a quick feel with her feet.

On Siam Country Clubâs greens I would read everything. They were very slick.

need someone out there timing putting routines of the top 100 pros on both tours and categorizing by who aim points and doesnât before I will even remotely entertain âitâs a pace of play nightmare.â Itâs argument that feels so ungrounded in actual fact for people who simply donât like it stylistically.
And I donât even aimpoint! But - lucas glover voice - I want to.

Things went so well for the P12 under his leadership. I can see why Annika favors him.

Itâs not like the league signed one of the worst TV deals known to man, the conference lost its firm grip on the west coast and managed to piss off everyone of their corporate sponsors despite being in a very rich area.
Canât believe you donât like that idea for a league thatâs in need of a new TV deal and better work with corporate sponsors

Donât let the college football stuff sour you. That sport is corrupt as hell and weird.
Check out his Wikipedia entry and tell me heâs not a good option:
While at the WTA, Scott oversaw a fivefold increase in sponsorship money and a 250% increase in total revenue.[5][6] This included the largest sponsorship in the history of womenâs athletics, a six-year, $88-million deal with Sony Ericsson.[3][4][7] Scott also successfully formed sponsorships with Whirlpool, Gatorade, and Bed Bath & Beyond.[3]
Prize money increased 40% during Scottâs time with the WTA.[6] Scott was an advocate for equal pay. Before Scottâs tenure, two of the four Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon and the French Open, awarded less prize money to women than to men. Scott successfully lobbied for the increase of womenâs prize money at Wimbledon and the French Open to be equal to that of menâs prize money, so that menâs and womenâs prize money are now equal at all Grand Slam events.[6]
Among Scottâs other achievements was the securing of a contract with Eurosport to broadcast WTA tennis in 54 countries.[3] Scott also oversaw new investments of $710 million in tennis stadiums.[5][6]

The problem is the TV cameras know not to cut to a player standing on the other side of the hole reading a putt. When a player is right near his ball, though, they often cut to that player and show that player AimPointing.
David Orr talked about the pacing on a podcast recently. He knows several players like me who people donât even realize got a read. AimPoint done well takes a few seconds. We stress âgetting your numberâ quickly.
She stood over that one for 2 seconds.

The sport is weird and corrupt, but donât excuse Larry Scott, he was a terrible commissioner. The extremely expensive SF Office HQ where none of its members were located, personal spending that gave him the nickname âChampagne Larryâ, the $50M accounting mishap, that doesnât sound like the leader they need coming off of Mollieâs tenure.
Iâve talked with a number of frustrated conference athletic directors in recent weeks. Theyâll be charged with making ends meet in their departments. One Pac-12 AD told me, âWeâre basically turning over rocks these days and finding disasters Larry left for us.â
Speaking of, most of the positive press releases that the LPGA has put for forward for her tenure have been on the increase in purse sizes, that hasnât amounted to much progress for the tour overall, especially if some arenât paying the bills.
