United States vs Europe, US President Barack Obama, world No.1 Nelly Korda, US captain Stacy Lewis, Europe captain Suzann Pettersen, LPGA Tour, news, analysis
With Barack Obama in support and using “unfinished business” as a motto, American champion Nelly Korda has inspired the US with a dominant start in the Solheim Cup against Europe. The world No.1 was at her mesmerising best as the United States, perhaps borrowing from the 44th President’s 2008 electoral maxim of “Yes, we can”, moved to a 6-2 lead in the teams competition. The only real shame for…

The report, titled "Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports" and authored by UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Reem Alsalem, examines the impact of transgender athletes in women's sports globally.
The report has been released at a time when high-profile transgender athletes are gaining media attention.
For instance, trans golfer Hailey Davidson recently competed in The Ladies Professional Golf Association's (LPGA) second qualifying stage despite opposition from a group of 275 female golfers who objected to the inclusion policy of the organization. Currently, the LPGA requires that transgender golfers undergo gender-affirming surgery and hormone therapy after puberty to compete.
Similarly, San Jose State University's (SJSU) volleyball team has come under scrutiny for fielding a transgender player who, during a recent match, accidentally injured an opponent with a forceful spike. Following this incident, four volleyball teams in the Mountain West Conference chose to forfeit their games against SJSU in protest.
These incidents are just a few of the many instances wherein transgender athletes beat biologically female athletes in women's sports.
In fact, the UN report reveals that over 600 female athletes did not win in more than 400 competitions across 29 sports. This, in turn, impacted about 890 medal outcomes. The report notes that this trend is the "replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category."
"The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males," the report said.

Today's Black History Month illustration is of Althea Gibson. She became the first Black athlete to cross the color line of international tennis and golf. (She has a TON of records, so here it goes!)
Tumblr media
Gibson was born in 1927 on a cotton farm in South Carolina, but her family moved to Harlem in 1930. While growing up in NYC, she played paddle tennis under the supervision of the New York Police Athletic League. She became so good at paddle tennis that by the age of twelve, she won the NYC women’s paddle tennis championship.
Tumblr media
In 1940, a group of Gibson’s neighbors put money together to pay for her junior membership at the Cosmopolitan Tennis Club in Harlem. A year later, she won her first tournament, the American Tennis Association’s NY State Championship, founded by Black tennis players. She won the ATA national championship in 1944 & 1945. In 1947, she won the ATA’s women’s singles championship, which she continued to win for 10 consecutive years.
Tumblr media
Her success drew the attention of Dr. Walter Johnson, a Black physician from Virginia who was also an avid tennis player. He mentored her and helped her enter into competitions with the US Tennis Association (USTA). In 1949, she became the first Black woman and second Black athlete to play in the USTA’s National Indoor Championship. After that, she received a full athletic scholarship at Florida A&M.
Tumblr media
In 1950, Gibson became the first Black to compete in the US Open at Forest Hills in Queens, NY. In 1956, she became the first African American to win the French Open. In 1957, she won Wimbledon, and received the trophy personally from Queen Elizabeth. She won the doubles championship as well and when she returned to NYC, she became the second athlete (after Jesse Owens) to receive a ticker tape parade.
Tumblr media
In late 1958, after winning 56 national and international singles and doubles titles including 11 Grand Slam championships, she retired from amateur tennis at the age of 31. In 1964, at the age of 37, she became the first Black woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour. Her best tournament finish was a tie for second place at the 1970 Buick Open.
Overall, Althea Gibson is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players in history and paved the way for players like Venus and Serena Williams.
Tumblr media
I’ll be back tomorrow with another illustration and story!

23 July 2017 -  Paige Spiranac - Scathing Indictment of LPGA Dress Code.
Earlier this month, the LPGA released a new dress code policy that greatly restricts female athletes’ apparel choices on the golf course. Among the new rules: no leggings (unless worn under shorts or a skirt), joggers, or anything with a plunging neckline.

Full Speed into the Past
By ED TRAVIS
After taking a few days to think about the implications of a proposed rules change announced Tuesday March 14 by golf’s governing bodies, the USGA and R & A, the conclusion is clear. By decreasing the distance standard for golf balls played by so-called elite golfers, in effect rolling back the ball to the performance characteristics of twenty years ago, it is a solution in search of a problem.
It’s almost certain in three years when the rule would go into effect fans of elite golf—college and professional—can look forward to seeing the big guys not hit it so big which is a negative for sure but the bigger problem more likely will be the reaction of ball makers such as Acushnet and Callaway.
In situations like this in the past—remember the long putter or square grooves–it says more about the governing bodies desire to control our game decades in the future rather than helping those with emotional and financial stakes in the game capitalize on the current growth trend. Why can’t we just make golf more attractive to play and watch rather than adding more restrictions?
It seems whenever the USGA is involved, their focus on the tradition and integrity of the game (whatever that’s supposed to mean), fans come out in second or third place. Referring to further restricting ball performance golf instructor Hank Haney said it several years ago, “People don’t go to a ball game to watch them hit bunt singles.” Fans don’t go to PGA Tour events to marvel at clever chip shots, holed three-footers or perfect 150-yard nine-irons. They go to watch the big guys smash the ball distances we can only dream about.
Otherwise, you might as well go bowling.
The governing bodies continue to be focused on what happened in the past not where the game is today and if there is one thing sure in this world it is you can never go back.
Certainly, at the elite professional level golf is entertainment and changing equipment to make golf less entertaining means fans are the losers.
In case you think the proposed rules change has a chance of not being adopted remember former USGA CEO Mike Davis swore the last think he would do is roll back the ball. The pandemic may have slowed down the process, but current CEO Michael Whan will ensure it happens.
They say the new distance standard in effect January 1, 2026, will only apply to the few thousand elite players in the world or using the word nobody says out loud, bifurcation. However, there is no assurance that won’t change and indeed since the U.S. Open and the British Open will enact the restricted ball specifications should “regular players” qualify they would have to comply certainly in the qualifying rounds too.
As far as the other major championships are concerned, the Masters probably will want to make use of a reduced distance ball—estimated at 14-15 yards less—but the PGA of America who runs the PGA Championship has not said what they will do.
If anyone knows that professional golf must be entertaining it is the PGA Tour and maybe they will not agree to use a reduced distance ball. They do know they must sell themselves to fans and comments by many current Tour members are against implementation. Further should the Tour opt out, that would create the interesting situation of week to week play with the “long ball” and two weeks annually, the U.S. and British Opens, having to play the “short ball.”
That makes no sense whatsoever. The PGA Tour is also in a competitive situation with LIV Golf and there is zero chance LIV will play the short ball. Additionally, the USGA says elite female players will not have to play the short ball, so the LPGA Tour doesn’t have a decision to make.
But what about the golf ball manufacturers you ask? An excellent question and according to a statement from Acushnet Company, the largest ball manufacturer, “Under the proposed guidelines, events that adopt this MLR [Model Local Rule] would require players to use a substantially shorter golf ball, similar in distance to what was available in the 1990’s.”
Do you remember the Titleist Professional? A fine ball, at the time everyone played it, but it was instantly out of date with the introduction of the solid core urethane cover Titleist Pro V1 in 2000. Ball makers marketing now is built around the average player being able to tee up the same ball as the PGA Tour stars. This aspirational quality of golf is integral to the charm, resiliency and long life of the game.
Singling out the golf ball is not a sound analysis of the situation when swing speed on the Tour continues to increase (2.23 mph in the past 15 years) but it would seem logical there is at some time an upper limit on the increasing athleticism of Tour players. That would limit the swing speed increases and therefore distance off the tee and with other clubs.
We haven’t heard the last from the ball makers and lawsuits are a possibility creating another mess caused by the USGA’s myopic view of modern golf.

Anew report from the United Nations reveals that almost 900 medals that should have gone to female athletes have instead been awarded to biological men who believe themselves to be “transgender.”
As reported by Fox News, the report was carried out by Reem Alsalem, the UN Rapporteur on Violence Against Women. The findings were titled “Violence against women and girls in sports.” Alsalem reveals that over 600 athletes failed to receive medals in over 400 competitions across 29 different sports, with the total amount of lost medals being just over 890.
“The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” his report states. The information collected for the study goes up to March 30th of this year.
In the most recent example, the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) approved the participation of a male golfer in the most recent tournament, despite 275 female golfers signing onto an open letter denouncing the decision as unfair to women.
Elsewhere, San Jose State University’s volleyball team has faced four different forfeitures by rival teams due to the team’s decision to allow a male to compete on the women’s team. The male player, who goes by the name Blaire Fleming, recently spiked a volleyball right into a rival team member’s face with extremely violent force, drawing attention to the disparity between the strength of women and the strength of biological men.
As a result of Fleming’s participation, San Jose State player Brooke Slusser has joined a lawsuit against the NCAA, claiming that she was forced to share a locker room and a bedroom with Fleming without being told that Fleming is a male.
Amid growing backlash, there have been numerous efforts to crack down on so-called “transgender” participation in sports, across several international sports bodies as well as over two dozen American states.
