Thank you for participating in the last two Golf Chick polls and making your voices heard. I think the results are interesting, and not quite what I expected.
After Lorena Ochoa indicated she’s interested in competing in men’s events, I asked if you thought she should. I assumed most people would answer that she should just stick with the women and that the third answer (gimme a break) would be the most popular. As you can see, the two yes answers received a combined 52% while the no answers took 48%. With results so close, this seems to be quite the polarizing topic.
When I asked if golf course workers should have golf knowledge, I thought your answers might fall in line with what I got from the people I asked in person, which were almost unanimously “doesn’t matter as long as they’re hot.” Perhaps I was surrounded by a piggy crowd that day, maybe it was the fact that they were all men, or maybe they had liquid courage and felt the need to announce a predilection for hot chicks. Only 6% of you answered with them! The qualified yeses received a whopping 90%, with half of those feeling anyone working at a golf course should know about golf and half feeling the workers only need that knowledge if it helps them do their jobs. Perhaps most interesting are the 3% who don’t care either way – because they cared enough to answer that they don’t care. 
Thanks again for participating, and if you have any burning questions, let me know for a possible future poll!

I wish you would let the rest of us know where this golf course is where all employees are women ! 😀
Most of the courses I play have a few women working in the restaurant, the pro shop, and of course as the beer babes – but the majority of the employees are men.

At least a little bit of knowledge by the workers of a golf course would be helpful…
Sir..Where is the out of bounds marker? Miss, where are the golfcarts located…

Call it double standards but I have no qualms with Lorena Ochoa playing on the men’s tour because she is quite capable of doing well out there. The only thing that the the players must realise is that they should not do it for the sake of it. Go out there and compete like you would in any other tournament and if you do well rake in the rewads.
The problem with Wie was/is that she did it way too often with hardly any returns(just one cut made in countless events does not count for much) and unfortunately she became a show pony, but the terrible part being a show pony that did not perform.
After a shocker last year it looked like she was getting back into rhythm till that disqualification. In fact she seemed to be playing her best golf in that tournament. Now when it looks almost certain that she won’t get a card for next season unless she strings in some really good finishers, what does she do? She goes ahead and accepts the sponsors invite for the Renoe-Tahoe Open and by the looks of it might not go on to make the cut!
WIE have had enough of it.
