So, Christina's merely a liar who has nothng but cheerleader-like comments about the LPGA. I find that interesting.

Getting your facts wrong doesn't make you a liar.

If you take what Blue wrote in context, that basically is exactly what she's saying. Any time someone disagrees with her, they're obviously lying. How, otherwise, sould they possibly disagree?

She's definitely a cheerleader ;and,as such,she isn't about to portray the LPGA in anything but a positive light.

I wouldn't call her a liar,but one has to be incredibly naive to believe that there wouldn't be any homophobia amongst certain players,officials and staff on the LPGA.

It's probably more covert than openly displayed.

Christina Kim strikes me as the kind of person who believes that uncomfortable situations can be dealt with by refusing to acknowledge they exist.

She would make a fine mascot...

I finished this book last week. It's worth reading, IMHO - at least I did learn a bit about the tour. She makes some use of creative license, though. (Two stories were a bit exaggerated - I checked with the players who were mentioned.) Spouse has it now.

Has anyone else read it?

No other opinions here? I'm just wondering what others think.

I read the book in April. That was a long time ago and I don't remember much about it now. I must be getting old. Like you. Well, not THAT old.

Sheesh, Blue....not a fair reply. My wife, whatshername, will tell you my memory is very good.
