A very, very nice gift from the Peanut and I hope it starts a trend amongst the more successful players on all tours.

Kimmie is proof that "good things come in small packages"......
What a wonderful young lady!!!!!!

Viva Peanut

I agree...she's terrific!! And it dawned on me, since taxes wil take the other half of the winnings, she practically donated all of her cash winnings from this tournament.

Wow...that is very impressive....good for her, nice gesture!!!

ncharles78 · 05-08-2007, 10:23 PM

She's one of the all around best. An champion in all senses of the word.

Missed the playoff because I was working and didn't leave extra taping time, so I was pretty bummed. But I just visited the Seoul Sisters site on a chance bangkokbobby made a video and that wonderful person did and of course it was terrific! Thanks a bunch BKB --my spirits are restored.

You're welcome!! I thought about posting the link here, too...but I wasn't sure if there were many Peanut fans over here. But of course, we're all LPGA fans!!

What a great story ........ my initial reaction was to contrast it with Michael Vicks $10,000 donation to Va Tech (his Alma Mater) after the massacre there. He made $10,000,000 last year before endorsements.

I have read a lot of good things about Mi before and that was one of the main reasons
I became such a big fan . She may not be a tall long hitter but inside she is the biggest
and the best out there. She gets no press even when she wins. I hope she gets to the hall of fame
but I doubt she will and that is another shame. What a great big heart she has, she has found
happiness isn't the word me but the word us.
