LPGA..Laura Davies

Over the weekend I was watching her play. Pretty good for her size. I believe she is larger then last year. She uses a i2 off the tee and I believe she doesn't tee it up?

She "tees" it up, just uses the turf to tee it

(you hit down to chunk up the tee box a little to elevate it and hit off of that)

Does she use that driver-off-the-deck play regularly? I saw a clip on GCUK of her firing it out right at some spectators when attempting it.

i watched a segment of her on GC a while back and she said that is the way she has always done it. no tee, just wedges the ground up a bit with an iron.

Seems stupid to me. However, she is a considerably better ball-striker than I, so whatever works.

If you get the opportunity to watch her "Playing Lessons from the Pros" segment on the GC, watch it. It's a life changing experience.

Her outlook of the game and knowledge are superb. It's no wonder she's one of the most respected minds in the game today.

Distance is overrated. At the end of the day, it's what's on the scorecard that counts...

I'd hate to have to be the one to carry her off the course after she has a heart attack.

She whacks the hell out of the ball, though.

She's a great golfer but I think she'd also be able to help the Green Bay Packers on the offensive line!!

Funny comments, I was impressed with her size and playing ability.

Davies is a great player. One of the announcers made the comment that Lincicome could take something extra special out of her win, because she stared down Laura Davies and won. That says a lot.

Davis is amazing, I really enjoy watching her play and she has so much talent.

And, on a side note, I'd hit it. $$$

I can't believe you said that! We admins can change your avatar line, you know!

Something along the lines of "golfing gigolo" ought to work.

Still one of my favorite segments. I was impressed.

Hit it too hard and you'll bounce off and hurt yourself.
