    No, they are just getting their tales whipped. It goes in cycles like most everything else.
    Mostly Taylormade clubs now except for two Ping I25 hybrids, Mizuno 54 & Callaway 56 wedges.

    when there were 26 Asian Pros who played US Women , they have a greater percentage to win, especially with quite a few great Asian players in that group

    There is a simple answer to this vexxing question Tony J. Who gives a flying fuk?

    P.S. I know that's technically a question not an answer, but you get my drift.
    The views expressed by Not a Hacker are not meant to be understood by you primitive screw heads. Don't take it personally, just sit back and enjoy the writings of your better.

    Don't know how old you are, but all your posts appear to be written by a 10 year old. Why bother answering if you are going to say the same thing every time?

    You are certainly the biggest idiot on any of the golf boards, and I read them all.

    That's quite an accolade!

    I think Dottie Pepper was dead on when she called them all choking freaking dogs. Not a shred of pride in the whole group. How does Christie Kerr live with herself? She put on 20 pounds and hits little pops off the tee. If she is going to be a shortknocking choker, the least she can do is get on a treadmill.

    Pepper got a lot of grief over that, but she was right on.

    For her efforts, she has been picked as a assistant Solheim captain; she'll now be able to tell them upfront.

    IMO, those young and petty Asian Pros are eager to win... but - by the Asian nature - they most likely don't have the "stepping all over opponents" attitude like Tiger... and I am amazed how well they do in the LPGA... Imagine if they are mentally trained to "step all over opponents" , they will "kill" other LPGA players.

    When I look at Michelle Wie, I don't see that attitude in her and maybe that hurts her chance in winning many tourneys... "Good is enough" is not enough in golf, they have to go out there and "destroy" the rest of the field....

    When I consider Michelle Wie, I conclude that never has a tour pro, male or female, accomplished so little with so much.

    I don't think there are enough women who take up golf at an early age in the US. None of my daughter's friends play golf. I grew up playing CC's and belonged to several as an adult and never saw in girls playing junior golf. I think that's the answer right there. It's simply a numbers game.

    I really like LPGA tournament golf, I don't know where the hell you were during the Open, Tony, and yes, the American broads are underachieving.

    I'm not sure why, but we do have a lot more broads between the ages of sixteen and forty than does So. Korea, we do have a hell of a lot more golf courses than they do, but we do have an IQ deficiency compared to almost any civilized nation on the planet.


    The Asians would probably dominate the PGA Tour as well if the men were physically big and strong enough. The caucasion race in PGA golf is being propped up there by two things:

    1. The decline of Tiger.

    2. The white Europeans and other non-Americans who contribute more to men's golf than women's golf.

    Not enough European chicks play golf, I suppose, but they do at least have some presence on the LPGA.

    Look. A few tiny Caribbean islands dominate Major League Baseball. Canadians and Eastern Europeans dominate hockey.

    White Eastern Europeans now dominate the higher weight divisions in boxing.

    All good, would-be American heavyweights are in either the NBA or the NFL, and in those leagues, Americans, mostly black ones, are still doing ok.

    Empires at the end of their greatness rarely accomplish much of anything. It's time for Americans to lower expectations for everything. It's not about us anymore, and that's now obvious.

    Asian girls work hard maybe too hard to impress fathers and spend time with them. They are motivated by face and fulfilling parents wishes. Then they come here and find food, hamburgers and french fries and soon have gained weight and not so happy. They then work harder but some not feeling desrving of winning. The mind is very complicated.

    We have very big IQ-s, I don't know why Asians are smarter and work harder, I guess just the way things are. Some say Asian languages are harder so a person's mind is challenged more when young. But English is not so easy either so hard to understand.

    In Asia it seems dumb people work in menial jobs like street sweeping or cleaning. Here often dumb people have college degrees and white collar jobs. Maybe too much freedom from not just government but family ways isn't good.

    What's the deal with the small penises? I have yet to see Japanese porn where the dude's junk is even average by American standards.

    And for being so smart, why are you guys pseudo-retarded behind the wheel of a car?

    Lastly, why do you still suffer through using chop sticks? The fork is a far superior eating utensil.
    I keeps it real.

    Extremely conservative people with special talents seem to like to move to America for the opportunity. Average people, one the other hand, including 95% or more of Americans, would do better someplace else.

    But non-billionaire Americans are welcome to move almost nowhere. I'd be living in a London flat right now if the limey b*st*rds would have me. As long as I did my own cooking--their cooking sucks beyong belief-- I'd love it there. It's like Europe only they speak English and can't cook.

    I never understand why the US just lets everyone come here. Maybe that's why IQ is lower. Or maybe that's because IQ is lower. People come here because life is very hard most other places and it's easier to prosper here. The US is a great country and it's true, everyone wants to live here.

    I never say I'm Asian or that I'm not. I think it's better to be anonymous here. Ha, ha...bad Asian drivers with small penises? Maybe penises smaller in Japan in fact it might make sense looking at history. Chinese penises not small at all.

    Chop sticks are harder to use than forks if you aren't raised with them. I see Americans in restaurants trying to look cool and use them when they could use fork. But I never see Asian try to look cool using forks and spoons. Ha, so the answer to your question can be found in that.

    Maybe with more art and connection with utensils people are less fat and realize there is responsibility even in eating. America is a great country but would be greater if people respect other cultures and could learn.

    I'm sorry but this is total bu!!$h!t.

    The US doesn't rank near the top in ANY important ranking pertaining to life style or standard of living.

    Our private health care syetem is ranked 37th by the World Health Organization, and all 36 systems ranked above it are socialized.

    Our education system is the laughing stock of the civilized world. We've got almost nobody good in math and science, and only Hispanic Americans are not unilingual. That alone is a disgrace.

    America is superior to an undeveloped third world country, so many of those people would like to come here. A few extremely gifted find opportunity here because we ourselves have so few people like that.

    But the average European would scoff at the idea of moving here. Give up healthcare? Give up free or near free college? Not have to share a country with toothless Teabaggers? It's a no-brainer.

    Well yes, if you are speaking about Europeans and those sorts of things then I don't know. I know Asians want to come here and if they have friends, family and visa they do. And you are right, the hungry work hard, the prosperous become spoiled and their children even more. That's true in Asia too but less prosperity.

    Now If one wants to become very rich, there's no place better than US, certainly not Europe. Asians come here wanting to get rich and very often do. Hard work and being smart here and then it isn't difficult to make a lot of money.

    Rules Guy is certainly right about one thing. People have different priorities and different perspectives.

    For what's most important to me, Western Europe would be the best place to live. I'm simply not welcome there.

    Maybe I could get into Italy, but I haven't even attempted to speak the language since I was eight or ten years old, and it turns out that I don't like real Italian food that much. I love post Ellis Island Italian food invented right here in the USA.

    Look, I know that most of my posts make it sound like I hate America, but that's really not true. There are many THINGS that I hate about America, mostly the conservative politics, but at least as many things that I genuinely love.

    There is no place in the world where I've eaten as well as I do right at home. Food-wise, we have about everything, and it's not over-the-top expensive, especially if you cook it yourself. That's kind of important, the food thing.

    This is a quote directly from Wikipedia:

    "IQ tests performed in the United States have consistently demonstrated a significant degree of variation between different racial groups. With the average score of those with African ancestry lower than that of European ancestry and the average score of those with East Asian ancestry being higher than that of European ancestry. While the existence of racial IQ gaps is well-documented and not subject to much dispute, there is no consensus among researchers as to their cause."

    I don't want to offend and a lot of smart people of all races. But unless we are politically correct, then both IQ and hard work, isn't it?

    Ok misery guts. Please explain the appeal of living in a flat in London? You don't like the food so let me guess. Is it the overcrowding, the shite weather, the filth, the homeless tramps living on the streets, the congested housing or the traffic/transport congestion?

    Or is it the football hooliganism, anarchy and occasional riots that appeal?

    Or I suppose it could be the short days and endless grey gloom of a London winter.
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?

    Way to be a racist, Pky8374.

    Are you implying that black people have no will? The entire population of black people lack will?
    Have you ever thought that maybe the egg heads who create the test questions are nerdy little Asians? If the SAT had a basketball section, you guys would suck asss.

    I never mention anything about races... That was published info, not mine. If you take it that way then be it, If I were not as a good golfer like most of you guys here then you don't see that I blame on my races... Go ahead and suck it up ...

    I think he was just pulling your chain. Sometimes the American sense of humor is difficult to interpret for those not born here and for whom English was not the primary language. As evidence of that, I would refer you to the last sentence in HB's post that you replied to. His reference to basketball signifies to me that his entire post including labeling you as "racist" was in jest and not meant in a mean-spirited sort of way.

    Or is it the football hooliganism, anarchy and occasional riots that appeal?

    Or I suppose it could be the short days and endless grey gloom of a London winter.
    Yes, those are pretty much the things that appeal to me, Kiwi. Plus the national health service. Plus West End theater. Not to mention the friendly voice reminding me to "mind the gap."

    The National Health Service is great. So cheap including dental. I had a front tooth knocked out over there and the price of getting a cap and routine clean and polish amounted to a whopping £35. That sort of treatment would have run into thousands of dollars in NZ.

    The theatre is great if you are into that sort of thing but to me Londontown is a young man's city. I enjoyed my mind 3+ years there as a young man in my twenties but I wouldn't want to retire there.
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?
