Paula Creamer was really good.  I’d probably have her #17

 

[Anarchy99]

In the old days, this thread would have been a lot more popular but would not have been about actual golfing ability.

As far as names go, hard to rank her any lower.

One Asian on that list. Put that list in a time capsule and check back in 20-30 years.

We talking talent here or looks.....I watch the LPGA for the skorts.    That's it

That's why I said a few posts earlier that a few years ago, this thread would have nothing to do with talent and play on the golf course. Nowadays, that type of thread is not allowed anymore, so yeah, this is an actual discussion about golfing ability and nothing else.

Nowhere in the OP does it say anything that the list is about how they actually golf.  It states the "20 greatest women golfers"  but doesn't expand.  Sure you can insinuate it is in regards to golfing ability but to each their own...…..

 

[Hov34]

No Jan Stephenson?

First I thought of.  Think I'm just remembering this: https://www.golfpunkhq.com/mediaLibrary/images/english/67097.jpg

Yep, the greatest ever.  For some reason that photo is stuck in my mind.

Their ability is as such:

1) south Koreans

2) everyone else

Their looks are as such:

1) Everyone but south koreans

2) South Koreans.

I would've put Tiger Woods #1.

Some of those young ladies have the sweetest swings.  I can see why they do so well.
