Kelley Shaw is an IT exec and an avid golf fan.
For years she'd enjoyed playing fantasy golf based on the men's tours, but dreamed of a fantasy game that would allow her to exercise her expertise in picking female winners. The expansion of Golf Channel's Fantasy Challenge to include the LPGA Tour's five majors was a welcome development, but Shaw saw something a little more... comprehensive. And that's how Ladies Dream Golf was born.
LDG is a full-featured, full-schedule fantasy league for the LPGA Tour, and includes all 28 tournaments of the 2013 season, as well as the Solheim Cup.

I met Kelley today through her postings on G+... and I'm glad I did. It's an exciting time for the LPGA right now; with a newly minted #1 in Stacy Lewis and a wealth of fiercely competitive, ultra-talented players vying for the chance to dethrone her.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you at Ladies Dream Golf, ashgolf!
DeleteGolf is much more exciting where there's a deep field as opposed to one dominant player. Though I'm a fan I wouldn't want to see Tiger dominate in the way he did a few years ago (don't think it'll happen) and I remember when Annika was so dominant that it got almost too predictable. I agree,the LPGA is in a great position to have an exciting 2013 season.
ReplyDeleteThats a great post. Glad i found you when searching for golf websites.
