Below I have posted the most popular photos of 2017. I based this on the number of website hits, and the number of comments each photo received. Some came as quite a surprise to me, as when they were taken I was not expecting such a reaction.
As we approach the beginning of the 2018 LPGA season, there are a number of questions that I am looking forward to getting the answers to. In reverse order, here are my top ten:
It is time to start the 2018 LPGA season. With 34 tournaments on the schedule (including the UL International Crown), more prize money, and more television coverage, the 2018 season promises to be the biggest and best ever.
The season will open in the Bahamas once again this year with the playing of the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic.
Play resumed on Saturday morning. They did not complete the 2nd round and it was suspended due to darkness. The second round will be completed Sunday morning. The third round will then begin and will be finished on Monday if neccessary. This is now a 54 hole tournament!
Here are the leaders when play was suspended:
1 Brooke Henderson -5 F
2 Shanshan Feng -4 9
3 Danielle Kang -3 F
3 Ryann O'Toole -3 F
3 Wei Ling Hsu -3 9
3 Lexi Thompson -3 8

The third playing of the UL International Crown will be played in Icheon, South Korea from October 4-7, 2018. It will be hosted by Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea.
Will your favorite country be among the 8 that qualify?
This week the LPGA moves to Thailand for the playing of the Honda LPGA Thailand. Last season brought us close finishes in almost every tournament.....but this was not one of them. Amy Yang's twenty-two under par total of 266 was a new tournament record, and blew away the rest of the field. So Yeon Ryu finished 2nd, five strokes back.
