I originally planned to check in occasionally to see how Annika's quest for the Grand Slam would go. But I've gotten hooked to see how well Wie can do. She's currently leading at even par. Pretty insane for a 15 year old, even if she is supposed to be a phenom. In fact there are two amateurs in the top 5. Pretty good golf to watch. I think it's the first time I've ever watched a women's tournament.

Whatever you need to say to convince yourself :p. Yeah, Gulbis definitely isn't hard on the eyes lol. And Wie well she's 15 so I could probably go to jail for saying anything more lol. She's an attractive young woman. And friggin TALL! She's 6'2"-3" they were saying during the coverage.

hmm, i've never really heard her talk or anything....so i guess i don't have that opinion. was there something inparticular that she did that i happened to miss? the only thing i can remember was that her caddy (her dad maybe?) walked across someone's line once during a tournament...

well what a finish.

one thing that makes me wonder....why are all the women pro veterans getting schooled by these amateurs?

Different stylings. These new comers are much like the kids of today.....their bodies are reaching maturity at a much earlier time in their life allowing them to spend more time working on their power game.

Missed it because I was busy doing helping dad with home improvements (so to speak) but WOW what a fall Wie had. Worst round of the day. And she was pretty much done after the front nine. Considering Annika was already that far back I bet ratings dropped dramatically after that. ONE person under par for the day. They had a tougher Sunday than the men did last week lol.

but that doesn't really apply to the mens game. amateurs on the men side consistently get schooled, week in and week out. i don't really know the layouts of these courses, but maybe there's something about them that helps the power and aggressiveness these young girls have....

cuz on the mens side, the power and aggressiveness the rookies have usually gets them in trouble...

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
