Golf History Happening Here

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Female golf superstar Annika Sorenstam is expected to announce her retirement from the game during a press conference today at the Sybase Classic, an LPGA tournament held at the Upper Mountain Country Club.

From the AP:

Annika Sorenstam will retire after the season, ending an LPGA Tour career in which she has won 72 tournaments to date and produced a defining moment when she teed it up against the men on the PGA Tour.

She was to announce her decision at a news conference Tuesday at the Sybase Classic in Clifton, N.J., a person familiar with her plans told The Associated Press.

The 37-year-old Sorenstam has hinted at retirement the past several seasons, saying she wanted to devote more time to her growing business and to start a family.

It has been my pleasure to watch Annika hit a golf ball.

Interestingly, I recently saw a poster down in SC for another upcoming LPGA tournament which, as the poster notes, will be "hosted by Annika." Since I presume this is the same woman (and know nothing about women's golf save that an awful lot of its top pros all seem to be surnamed "Kim" lately), is she really worthy of going by one name, Iceman? A la Sting? (Personally, I could never call a fellow human being just "Sting" with a straight face.) Or even Miou-Miou or Coluche from French movies?

Ahem, it's the Upper Montclair Country Club in Clifton. Get it right. Sheesh.

"I am now selling memberships to the Irvington Golf Club in Upper Montclair."

...and I am paying for my membership with money I stole from the Iceman's Nigerian 401K fund. Fore!
