another even held in upstate NY that just cannot afford it in this down economy , i know she came off hard Bievens , but, i think with these events there $$$$ dried up

in my area kev , wkygal did not want an event any longer , it was too much disruption for the memership , wkygal would proabably want to host a US Women's Open and i think that at a Par 70 for the Women it would be a great test.

that being said when i was at the sybase this year , creamer and wie were paired on sat together i believe , they were not the leaders , they went off at least an hour before the leaders who were lincicome , pettersen , and the asian lady who ended up winning. i could have talked to the 3 leaders all day saturday , there was no one following them , every one was follolwing the wie/creamer group ----for women's golf to really take off Wie is going to have to become a superstar in my opinion ....we shall see if it happens

I understand the state of the economy having an affect Marty, but trust me, Bivens pissed off a lot of tournament directors. She certianly did the tour no favors.
