Paula is playing overseas this week, somewhere in eastern Asia. The LPGA is at Kingsmill this week for the Michelob Ultra Open. I know Paula is an "Independent Contractor" and myself being an independent contractor certainly respect her to choose to do what is best for her. I'm sure she is making more money going overseas with the appearance fee they are paying. That being said, the LPGA is struggling mighty though these economic times and seem to be losing domestic tournies at an alarming rate. Paula, except for Wie is probably the biggest American draw on the LPGA tour. Maybe this time Paula should have done what is best for the tour and not what is in the short term best for herself. What do you think?

How has her health been? She was having some problems as recently as a month ago. this may have something to do with it.

I have to agree with ya there Roy !! Seems she would have played here for sure.

Without knowing all of the circumstances it would be hard to make an informed guess as to what her motives might be.
On the face it sure seems like she would be good for the Kingsmill event.

Later,

She would bring in a lot of folks to Kingsmill for sure.

Sponsors might have something to do with it.

IMO, I would figure they would want here here.

It's hard enough to play golf when you're at 100 per cent," Creamer concluded yesterday at Highland Meadows Golf Club. And Creamer is far from that. You could say that golf's Pink Panther is not nearly in the pink. he Farr Classic's defending champion played back-to-back tournaments in Asia in early March and it must be small consolation that she finished third in each one. By the time she returned from Singapore she was hurling just about everything in sight and, over about 10 days, she dropped 15 pounds. It probably wasn't a good thing that her next tournament was in Mexico. "I didn't drink the water," she said emphatically. "I didn't even use the water to brush my teeth." But Creamer got sick again and dropped another eight pounds. She was so weak she was forced to withdraw the following week in Phoenix. Creamer said she has had every test, every scope, every biopsy in sight and the doctors have only been able to rule out all the really bad stuff. "Nothing shows up," she said. "That's good, I guess, except I still don't know what it is." She said she has regained most of the lost weight, but dressed in all black yesterday - only her earrings were pink - the young lady who is on the svelte side to begin with was visibly thinner.
