Golf News And Quote O\' The Week
I almost didn't notice this, but I happened to check the LPGA leaderboard. JoAnne Carner made the cut this week. She's 65. I think she has made 2 cuts this year. I think this is an amazing feat. Women golfers have not faired as well as they age it seems like. And she's 65 which is old by any standard in golf. Look at how much nicklaus palmer player fell off at that age. And there has been great improvement in womens' athletics since her prime. Womens' sports have come a long way. And in golf the influx of international talent has been huge. So I think her accomplishment is pretty amazing. I always liked watching her and am glad I got to see her in her prime in person. Here's a quote from Carner that poker players might like.
"You look back at the purses the women played for in the 1950s and early
'60s, and you wonder how they could even afford to eat. Well, a lot of them
were world-class poker players. They would look up the biggest card game in
town and play for big money. They were good enough at it to make a living.
As a rule, women are better poker players than men."
