I thought long and hard about saying this. It is clear that Justin Thomas is a very decent guy. Name one among all of us that hasn’t done or said something regrettable. I admire the sincerity of his apology. Wish some Co.’s/sponsors saw it that way!
I am at the Players! I’ve seen many friends, but a chance meeting at the hotel with Colin Morikawa made my afternoon! I really admire him as a player and I can report, a terrifically nice young man! Thanking him for taking a couple of minutes.
Doing my last big event and the Chevron Championship is big! Lucky to be here and having been here since 1972! Great golf, great course, wonderful new sponsor, and so many memorable times.❤️
Full disclosure: I miss being in the booth with all of my buds whenever I watch. Which is most of the time! Morgan is younger, blonder, closely tied in, and doing a great job. I haven’t looked back,
Except it would be ok to be twenty years younger!!
Dear Tiger, in my professional life you have been good to me, taught me, made me laugh, made me better at my job, trusted me, and more! I will always care about you. Please get well. I know you will work🙏🏼 Judy R
So broken-hearted to lose one of my great friends in the world. Peter Alliss. His dear Jackie was with him, just as he would have written it. I learned, laughed, and loved him.💔 Please send a hug to Jackie.
❤️Thanking everyone, most sincerely, for last week at the Chevron Championship. I have had such a great ride in TV. Guess what I am doing in my major semi mostly retirement? Watching and enjoying everything “Masters”. 👏
Sorry, here I am again. I have spent time on a ranch. I lived with hunters. They would have all thought automatic weapons and AR 15’s were evil, weapons of war. If it is a mental health issue, maybe weapons of war should not be EASILY AVAILABLE.
Please watch Golf Channel and NBC tomorrow for a USOpen champion. Weather permitting, yuk! These players put so much into this and I admire them. US Open tough.
True confession!😉 I am 75. Some advantages. Got my first vaccination. No problems and I feel lucky. Hope everyone will when they can. Let’s beat this thing! Good 2021
So sad for the battle Tom Weiskopf went through. He was blessed to have Laurie by his side. Working with him not so many years ago was such fun. VERY talented player and architect. ❤️🙏🏼
My fill in time is finished for this year at GC. I have loved working a little and seeing all my road friends. Thanks GC!
Appreciate being back if just for short times. Good friends, good golf!

Things I really loved about Kathy Whitworth.
She was always honest! Her word was good! You could count on her!
She could make a case and be part of a great argument! She was never cocky! She was so good for the game and our tour. My friend fifty years!
Happy Birthday to the legendary
@Jrprotalker
! 🎉🎂
Judy is a 26-time
@LPGA
winner, two-time major champion, and trailblazer for women's golf. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2000 in recognition of her incredible career and many achievements.
I get to say, “ I told you so “. (rude), forgive me! Brooke Henderson is that special kind of athlete. We see it on the outside, but it is inside, too. Lots of special people on the LPGA tour. Loved seeing Angel Yin shine. Congrats to all and all of Canada.
To be accused of different whatever political entanglements because I don’t think children or any innocent people should be shot, is crazy. Or, if anyone thinks the shootings over some years are okay, maybe they are crazy! End of my story. Taking a stand / returning to golf news!
Loved the “a 4 handicap guy could win on the LPGA Tour”
Hope I get to work when he plays. And by the way, he will be the only player playing from the forward tees! Try to be informed!
Golf has been a wonderful relief from the troubles of COVID. Thanks to everyone at the LPGA and at the PGA Tour for all the effort to make it work. Networks, too. That includes the Golf Channel. When not working, I am a happy viewer!
Yea for Lydia Ko. A friend and such a special young woman.
Met her at 14 yrs. Of age in Canada. She was lovely then and today! Remarkable in every way. New Zealand is lucky and so are we. Heartfelt congratulations!
Please wear a mask. Every medical person says it makes a difference. We can stop this thing if every single person would try.Drs across the board agree about this. Please try.
A lot of chatter about the LPGA. Consider this—-an open door organization that welcomes all girls and women who are good enough. Built by Americans and showcasing the world. I appreciate the policies that have made the LPGA THE place to play!
CBS showed a study that shows children who play sports grow up to be grittier adults. They win, they lose, they learn to bounce back. I think that coupled with team sports and possibly a solo sport is important for most. Exceptions, yes!
My holiday thank you goes to all of the viewers who let us know they like our work. Our LPGA crews for Golf Channel make working not work! Such a wonderful crew, top to bottom! So lucky to have this kind of workplace.🤞Happy New Year
Question, so I can learn. Are the kinds of guns used recently meant for anything but to kill people? Do they have any role in making our society better? I remember “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Life is being taken away from innocents. Pursue a different way!
FYI the USGA granted me a special exemption to play this week! I do not play enough to compete! Happy for so many who do, and sincere thanks to the USGA! 👍❤️
What do thoughts do when your innocent young child is dead and gone. Count me done with anyone who doesn’t help change to happen. I plead to those in power to get this right and tomorrow!!!
I thought my wonderful country gave us the right to a safe life. My legislators and the people who can effect change apparently do not think that is the case. It is not just my children for me, it is everyone’s children. I do not care who fixes this/just someone fix it!!!
I watched Nelly make 10! I know the sick feeling in your stomach! I watched her try to recover! I watched her speak to the media! For the record, I think she is pretty great!
For the record, I agree about the handshake and congratulations. I do know the crushing feeling of beating yourself! Not taking sides here, but a little understanding or empathy will not hurt anyone.
Hope many enjoyed the Solheim Cup! Home now and remembering quite a week.Sincere congratulations to the Euros and Catroina. Suzann has gone out the way so many of us agree would be perfect! Heart goes out to U.S. team & Juli.
Toledo❤️2021
Promise I will hush. But what if you have denied the virus all along and then you take the vaccine when you are younger and strong. Ahead of many at extreme at risk. Some in Congress! Shocking.
Watching these girls now at Augusta. Boys, too! Golf has created so many opportunities to learn and play for fun or excel. I love it in a very different way today. Of course, I am not at risk of making too many bogeys!
Just one more thought. Today’s players are so talented that they would find a way to deal with an island green. Do not need an assist! Only one persons opinion. Thanks so much to ANA for making golf possible this week! Great Championship! Congrats to Mirim Lee.
I have never met or listened to a single person that did not identify education as the gateway to a better life. Without being political——why would we ever devote fewer resources instead of more toward that goal?
So many people to thanks for another LPGA season with the Golf Channel crew. A group of people who make work a good thing! Thanks everyone. See you in the new year!
First followed Rory and met him when he was an 18 yr. old at Carnoustie. Liked him then, so impressed by him now.! What a
Good man. Golf is lucky to have him.
The Ryder Cup is coming! I love it! Wouldn’t it be great if on PGA tour radio, social media, and every other source this was said: “ A most spectacular two weeks of golf coming up in Europe. The Solheim Cup in Spain followed by the Ryder Cup in Rome!!!!!

@GolfweekNichols
I understand her explanation, I just think it looks like many other situations we’ve seen and stick by my reaction that it looks ridiculous. Leaving balls around the hole as a backstop shouldn’t be part of competitive golf
My only reservations about this have been the date. As Augusta usually does, they have won me over. I am loving watching these composed young women! Times they are achanging. Stick around for the ANA later today! Bravo!
Been watching Linn Grant beat the women and Men with a round of 64 in Sweden! Certainly looks like an extraordinary player who is coming into her own. Bravo to Annika and Henrik Stinson for an idea whose time is right.
30 years ago today, Feb. 24, Dinah Shore passed away. For a couple of generations of
@lpga
players, few people were as important as Shore for her high-profile support of the women’s game . . .
I have enjoyed the Woman’s Open Championship/Golf Channel and NBC. Miss being there. Laura Davies has brought her easy going self to TV. Not without opinions, but for me, really good.
Listened to Dennis Paulson and Fred Albers while driving yesterday. PGA Tour radio. They were so positive about LPGA golf and went on about the under appreciated talent! Backing me up—-thanks!
To really be one of the great countries on earth, don’t we have to care about one another? If you think you are bulletproof, do the right thing for someone else. COVID deaths are not fake news!
Reading articles about Casey Martin. I watched him play when he was on the PGA Tour very upclose and personal, inside the ropes.Extraordinary player! How good might he have been? Walking is part of the game/until you can’t!! Celebrate talent and courage!👍
Laughed and agreed when someone on PGA Tour radio said “when you put your golf shoes on you automatically lose a percentage of your IQ.” Must be why we ask our caddy which way the wind is blowing! Or, will this come out a little lower? Confirmation???!!!
You have to give Justin Rose, and his wife Kate, huge props for the love of the game and a big vision. Have known them both. So appreciate what the are doing for women/slash girls.
I have always thought the most valuable thing in our lives is our children and all children. I am trying to understand the thought process of powerful people, who by their actions, don’t agree!
In response to some of the naysayers about Casey Martin riding. How many players have any of us ever seen who could play tour quality golf with one leg? He did that and was the exception to the rule!All due respect to different opinions.
Merriest Christmas to all! I pray for help for all who need it and peace on earth someday! Thanks for so many kindnesses over the years🙏🏼❤️🌲 Happy New Year!
Becoming Annika is so very well done! An hour well spent if you love golf. Probably inspirational for young people in any sports endeavor.
Inner drive, self motivation, for the record!
Hoping starting Monday, Lexi Thompson has some great days and the opportunity to see things clearly. One thing I know for sure. She has put in her time and worked very hard! Thanks to her👍
On the road to Scotland for the Solheim Cup matches. One of the very best weeks in golf! Love the two captains, Juli Inkster and Catroina Matthew. Two special people in the game. Please watch and enjoy.
Belly laughs, high fives, fist bumps and a night full of truly priceless memories with Judy, Brandie, Pat and Juli. And absolutely delicious home cookin’ by Mrs. Inkster!
I am really enjoying my friends from ESPN at the PGA! I miss all those guys and in my humble estimation they are good! Curtis, Andy,
Billy, and Scott. We had some memorable days together!👏💕
Please forgive me for having a social conscience. When is there enough killing of innocents. Do we have an answer?
So many potentially wonderful people to lose.
So many of the women playing this week at Waverly CC are the quiet minority, who day by day, teach, coach, and give their time, growing this game! The juniors in our world of golf benefit! They still have wonderful playing skills. Each gives back💕👏👍
I sometimes think of things different than others. Just a thought. Heart hurts for Paul Whelan! But, Brittney Griner did not create his horrible situation, Russia did! I won’t fault her. She should be home!
Hey, two players made a bad move. I assure everyone these two people are the last two on the planet to take advantage with intent! Clearly a mistake, much over reaction.
Thanks to everyone for the Match. From four giant talents to a wonderful telecast. Very happy that golf and television could help so many people. Charles Barkley a perfect addition.👍. Loved it!
Attended the “Legends Luncheon” yesterday with Jack and Barbara Nicklaus in Columbus at Ohio State University. An amazing 900 people in attendance and $1.4 million dollars raised for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital!❤️❤️❤️
Heading for a weekend with numerous greats and a lot of wonderful players. See you on the air Saturday and Sunday. US Senior Women’s
Open. Fairfield, Connecticut! Golf Channel👍
Due to many nice messages, I want to say thanks and I will be back next week! Volunteers of America where I get great help from Mike King/CEO for five juniors from the greater West Texas area to travel and play in the pro am with exceptional LPGA players!
I thought Christie was quite good.
#i
was getting ready to tell her so. In a short time she would be very good. The big thing is do the players think she presents their game fairly and I would say, yes! Good job
Thank you ALL who chose to see my situation for what it was... a one week learning experience. I learned a lot and next time will do BETTER. And who chose to support me this week. I tried to do the best I could for you,the viewer! I pity those who tear down people for no reason
Do you think there is a company out there designing a flagstick very small in diameter? I do. Don’t believe there are any particular regulations. Sorry, too much time alone. Ha!
I saw tears today of gratefulness! Scottie Scheffler wins the gold and Leta Lindley captures the USGA Sr. Women’s Open! Scottie’s wife and Leta’s son! Love being part of golf! ❤️👏👍
Heartbroken for those children! Thanks for listening! US Women’s
Open next week. Wonderful Pine Needles has great history! Huge title and money at stake. Will be great to watch!
So many to thank for b’day wishes, so to each of you🥰👍. I am told double numbers are lucky! I am already a very lucky person. Looking forward to the Chevron event in early April. Golf long distance isn’t as much fun! Be well.
