Happy Halloween from Golf Girl Media

.























OK. We could have been sexy nurses or sexy police women... or sexy golfers. But we went for something decidedly more... blue PG.

Meridith, our "Fashionista", created the Avatar style  ...and as blue as we may look... we kind of like it.

Happy Halloween everyone!

By Jordan Farr aka Golf Girl Junior

Once again the business of the week has gotten in the way of my famous Thursday Post... so from now on, it's going to be a Friday post... which will make my life easier AND lessen the chance of it being late... although this week I'm actually writing it at 2:ooam on Saturday morning?

OK... I assure you, I will get into the rhythm of the work flow around

Glitz, Glamour and Golf at Mission Hills Hainan

He didn't do his triple back flip, but former Olympic gymnast Li Xiaoshuang was certainly in a celebratory mood today.

Together with his partner, Ryuji Imada, and three amateurs,  he won the Pro-Am Team tournament at the inaugural Mission Hills Star Trophy, now taking place in Haikou, China.  The team will split a back-flip-worthy $100,000 prize for their efforts.

The 31st of October is just days away, and it got me thinking  of a post I did last year. It's on Halloween costumes and it makes a a good topic for our show.  Here it is:

"Fashionista Golf Girl" - Introducing Meredith Horton

.
It's my pleasure to introduce Meredith Horton, the latest member of the Golf Girl Media team.

She's going to be helping us out... here at Golf Girl's Diary... and with our myriad projects at Golf Girl Media.  She's a world traveler and recent college graduate who is determined to learn how to play golf... and she'll surely bring a unique perspective to our endeavors.

Hi everyone, my name is

Cristie Kerr is Again Number One in the World

.
The life of a touring pro isn't an easy one.  As glamorous as it may seem, traveling the world to play golf requires a kind of nimbleness, adaptability and mental dexterity that few of us ever have to call upon in our day-to-day lives.













The resilient stars of the LPGA are needing to call upon all of those skills these days, as they continue their trek through Asia.

Italian Kid is Youngest European Tour Winner Ever

. Earlier this year Matteo Manassero spoke about how journalists... particularly American journalists... had taken to calling him "The Italian Kid".

It was... he declared... a nickname he wore with pride. ~ After all, though his game is that of a far more seasoned player,  Matteo Manassero is only seventeen.

As such,  his win yesterday at the Castelló Masters made him the youngest European

So... we’re going to let you in on a little secret and you have to promise that you wont tell anyone you'll tell every golfer you know. Are you ready?? 
Okay, there's a really easy way for you to win the most amazing golf prizes ever!  

We’re so not talking about t-shirts and caps... not that we have anything against t-shirts and caps... but what we're

Golf Ghouls and Fairway Phantoms - October Golf

You needn't be a golfer to enjoy a twenty minute golf cart trip across the verdant fairways of River Bend Golf Course.  Everyone is welcome,  even those who've never held club.  There's no dress code either.
However,  if you're not a fan of murderous ghouls, haunted bridges and malevolent scarecrows, you may wish to abstain from this round... it's not one you can win.
It's the “Haunting at River

Cigar Guy Humor-Is there a Male/Female Disconnect?

. The finish was dramatic and the ensuing celebrations were raucous, but it's mid-October and the 2010 Ryder Cup has been relegated to history. 

We'll retain memories of lavender sweaters and rain delays... and the roar of the crowd at the 17th on that riveting final day when Graeme McDowell punched an iron to six feet.  We won't soon forget Hunter Mahan's tears at the press conference that

Exceptionally, A Tuesday Post from Golf Girl World.

By Jordan Farr aka. Golf Girl Junior

As you may have noticed... or not... I didn't post my normal Thursday update last week. There are a couple of reasons for this:

1) Thursday was my birthday and all the celebrating distracted me.
2) Golf Girl zipped off to Vegas without me and I was... irked.
3) I was diligently working on a multitude of admin projects and just didn't have a minute for the

A first LPGA victory for IndyCar Golfer Beatriz Recari

It's 2:00am Eastern time on Monday morning.

 I'm just back from a remarkable weekend in Las Vegas at Blogworld Expo. 

I was there as part of a panel on Women in Sports Media... a multifaceted topic to say the least.  I'll have more on the event later in the week but the highlight was without a doubt people I met.

On the panel with me was Kathleen Hessert, a true visionary in the "sports and

Why You Should Burn Your Scorecards

A guest post by: Greg D'Andrea 

People always ask me;  Greg, do you really stink at golf or is the Golf Stinks blog just a gimmick? Well, the truth is, it depends on what your definition of “stink” is. If you ask Rickie Fowler or Tiger Woods to look at my game, hands down they would say I stink at golf. In fact, most of you would probably agree.

But if you ask someone who’s just

Only Two Things - Mars, Venus & The Favre Sext Case

.
There's been no shortage of sex scandals in the sports world of late. Some have flown under the radar, while others have dominated world news... and water-cooler conversation...  for days.

The latest...  now commonly known as the Favre Sext Case... has many of the elements seen in other recent scandals: a sexy sidelines reporter, a male athlete misbehaving and copious use of technology for

Birdies & Bunnies & Tillinghast - Playboy Scramble

 Here in the northeast our golfing days are numbered.

It's becoming more and more difficult to find our errant balls among the russet leaves that litter the fairways... and even at mid-day the sun is no longer warm enough to tempt us to remove our sweaters.

It's the time of year many of us reflect on our golf games and the progress we've made... or not made... during the summer

G Women Magazine - The Golf Girl's Choice

by Jordan Farr, aka Golf Girl JuniorLately I’ve been thinking, “what would Golf Girl put in a magazine if she were to create one?” Well, the other day I happened upon G Women Magazine, and it all came together... this is exactly the magazine she’d come up with! So, I guess it’s no surprise that I found it... in her living room.What really got me excited was when I saw the feature on a Spa Golf

Y. E. Yang - Korea Open Win & AsiaOne Ascension

Yang Yong-Eun has been know to come from behind.

He did it, famously, when he won the 91st PGA Championship; his memorable first major.  There, the unassuming South Korean overcame a two-shot deficit going into the final round, to finish three strokes ahead of his playing partner... who happened to be Tiger Woods.

It was a victory that changed his life. With it he became the first Asian-born

Cristie Kerr - 3 strokes ahead at LPGA Navistar Classic

If you were following the third round of the Navistar Classic today you probably found yourself thinking of the 2010 LPGA Championship, and the Sunday a few months ago in in Pittsford, NY, when Cristie Kerr won her second major ...by an unprecedented 12-shot margin.

That victory broke a number of records and allowed Cristie to achieve one of her life's goals: to become the number one female

The Thursday Post from Golf Girl World

by Jordan Farr, aka Golf Girl JuniorHey there GGD Readers!Once again it’s time for my Thursday post! But I don’t suppose I really need to tell you that as I assume it’s already on your Calenders... right? And, speaking of Calenders, October is a special month for Golf Girl Media. Not only is it my birthday month (a national holiday is in the works), but more importantly, it’s Breast Cancer

Only Two Things - Divergent Opinions on espnW

.
As you  may have heard,  ESPN is planning to launch a new brand. It'll start out online  - with a blog, social media and mobile elements - and it'll be known as espnW.  The focus will be sports programming for women.   It's a concept that's been incubating for a while with the "worldwide leader in sports" and the idea is that if things go well espnW will eventually sit side-by-side with ESPN2,

Of Ryder Cup Jaegerbombs and Euro-US Banter

Rory McIlroy shared details of what sounds like a festive post-Ryder Cup evening.

It appears the solid gold trophy was put to good use.  Further tweets indicate that a rousing ping pong competition ensued, with Woods/Mickelson dominating the table.

Japan Women's Open - Mika Miyazato Breaks Through

She's the "other" Miyazato. Less famous... for the time-being... than current World Number 1.

Mika Miyazato grabbed her first professional title yesterday, by winning the prestigious Japan Women's Open by six strokes.

This maiden maiden victory on the JLPGA must certainly have been sweet for Mikan, considering what happened a year ago.  At the same 2009 event Miyazato entered the final

Ryder Cup Rain & Golf at the Commonwealth Games

Europe has been looking quite dominant at Celtic Manor since play resumed earlier today under a precarious double rainbow.
However, with the tournament set to spill into Monday, the outcome is far from decided.  The Monday finish... and controversy regarding tickets...  once again provided a Bethpage flashback.  It's inherently difficult to administrate weather issues at events this big.

But for

"Mashed Potato" and Other Acceptable Golf Shouts

Despite excessive sogginess,  the crowds on day one of the 2010 Ryder Cup held it together admirably.

As darkness fell on the saturated Celtic Manor course, fans filed out via muddy footpaths, dodging massive puddles.  Those with a flair for the dramatic called it a disaster. ~ However, watching the rain-delayed event from here on the east coast of the US, I was reminded... quite vividly... of
