Tight tournament so far. Minjee Lee was one of my picks. She’s second as of now at -8. The others were Jin Young Ko, Lydia Ko, Nelly Korda and Brooke He...

“You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.” Ben Hogan 😁

scotts33 And ol' Ben was using what kind of equipment/balls, in what years??

Sorry, the man would be dead wrong today.

See your Trackman LM on those facts. The modern ball spins less off driver goes straighter but it does not go dead straight. Maybe semantics but Minjee hits a tight draw on her go to driver shot she is 20th on the LPGA 270.9 yds. It may look straight but it's not. Must be TV coverage and angles. Majority of LPGA players hit tight draws as their go to ball flight. A few yard draw may look straight. 😊

Played Ko’Olina in Oahu Hawaii several years ago. It’s where the LPGA held the Lotte Tournament for several years. Our drives were getting tons of roll. We estimated some drives were ~ 275. At that time our swingspeed was low 90’s at best.

A 90 mph swingspeed will have a carry of around 210. So you can’t under estimate the amount of roll that many of the courses the LPGA plays.
