How about a limited field event. You could restrict it to the top 32 players who qualify by either winning top events throughout the season of finishing at the top of the money list. Play the event in Florida where it rains, but not for days like it does in Houston in November. Since there are only 32 players, darkness won't be an issue. Maybe get a corporation like a home security company to sponsor it. There are a lot of nice golf courses in Florida, maybe Donald Trump would be willing to let the LPGA use his.

...by the way...it has been brought to my attention that there are other ladies playing besides Michelle...

...I'm shocked..shocked!!

...I would have thought that when Wiesy pulled out, they would just go ahead and cancel the event!!

...but seriously, folks...since there is not much golf to follow right now...here are some more pics...

Nice pictures bobby, I see Lorena is still sporting her lucky belt. I just read that Annika always carried a lucky horseshoe in her bag. Shin looks fine, I don't understand why some get on her weight. Ai does have the it factor going even if it's just the Japanese who are affected by it.

Somehow I don't think Annika needed much luck...

I was in Austin TX yesterday and it was raining hard all morning (we flew out at 1 pm). I wonder if this is the same system....

Looks like a good forecast for Sunday and Monday...plus Morgan Pressel, Vicky Hurst and Karen Stupples wait it out...

Things sure have changed since then!

...now it comes down to one day...who will it be...look, we Seoul Sister fans want Ji Yai to take the POY title...that's a given...but it's been a helluva year for Ji Yai Shin...for those that knew of her great play on the KLPGA the last few years but diminished those achievements...

...people like, ummm, ME...

...her season has been an exclamation point on validating her amazing talent...one that heralds a player that looks likely to one day take her place next to Se Ri Pak one day in the Golf Hall of Fame...
