Golf isn't your grandpa's sport anymore - women in the PGA!

Golf isn't your grandpa's sport anymore. Two women, Suzy Whaley and Michelle Wie, are in the running for a place in the PGA. Shocked? I was! I always assumed the PGA was reserved for men, but apparently anywho who qualifies is allowed to play.

Major kudos to both of these ladies! Michelle Wie is only 13 and shot a 73 (from the back tees) during her quallifying round. Suzy Whaley has quallified for the PGA by playing a 10% shorter course, but will have to play from the back tees during PGA events.There are mixed reviews on whether this huge accomplishment is in the best interest of the LPGA and whether it will take attention/tallent away from the organization.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
