The spirit of competition and respect for the other team was magnified on every hole in every round. The great thing was the fan turnout and especially seeing all of the young boys and girls with their moms and dads. Kudos the LPGA for their Kids Free policy and the time the players took with the youngsters during the practice rounds. It's a great way to get the youngsters interested in the game!! I'll check out the LinkedIn conversation...Sherry Rose, I have been to other Solheim events but this far exceeded the other experiences primarily because I was on hand for 5 full days this time.

One of the best tournaments I've ever seen. I had stopped watching women's golf a few years ago, plain and simple, boring. Not this match. I sat for three days, all day, watching the best golf I've ever seen. As a woman golfer years ago I think I liked it so much because the cameras covered all players, not just favorites, as they do weekend golf with women. The comradery between players was beautiful, and how each team acknowledge the other is what golf is all about. The dancing and crying makes it all worth while, especially when you win. I was surprised by two women commentators who got down on Kim, for her dancing antics, and not concentrating on the game. Needless to say Kim proved them wrong when she sunk long putts to win or half a hole. Wie, has come into her own, and I think will be one of the greatest women golfers of all time. At the end when they raised countries flags then lowered them, and Julie Inkster and her two children sang the national anthem and lowered the US flag, I let 'my' tears flow along with theirs. It will be her last, but this is what golf is about. Always acknowledging your opponent, first before yourself. GREAT GOLF. Sherry, take a look at the comments that came back.
