Maria Sharapova Tops Forbes Highest Paid Female Athletes For 10th Straight Year

Paula Creamer Wins 2014 HSBC Women’s Champions With Putt For The Ages
Thank you, Paula Creamer! I admit that lately my “Fairway and Forehands” blog had been heavy on the Forehands (tennis) and light on the Fairways (LPGA golf).

Charley Hull Rides Solheim Cup Success (and exemption into LPGA Q-school this fall) Into 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Open
The last time we saw Charley Hull, she soundly defeated LPGA Major winner Paula Creamer 5 & 4 at the 2013 Solheim Cup. To be fair, the Pink Panther didn’t really play so badly.

Paula Creamer, Beatriz Recari Tied For Lead After 3rd Round Of 2013 Marathon Classic
Took a long break after Wimbledon 2013 to recharge the batteries, so to speak. I had to end my blogging vacation with Paula Creamer in prime position to break her winning drought with one round to play at the 2013 Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning & O-I.

I Got You, Babe! Inbee Park Matches Zaharias By Winning First Three Majors Of The Year
If world #1 Inbee Park felt the pressure of golf history weighing down upon her, she didn’t show it outwardly.

The greatest women’s golf tournament (IMO) is here. Can’t wait to see who emerges victorious at the 2013 US Women’s Open. Could it possibly be the young phenom, Lydia Ko?
