Thank You David - mine did not copy well.

Hopefully this will prompt them to keep up on the day-to-day conditioning. Harding is soft and slow right now. Green and grassy, but soft and slow.

Does this mean no more Lake Merced for the LPGA ?

Drew -

Good question. I have been wondering the same thing. It does not look like the LPGA has published their full 2023 tournament schedule yet.

Since the event to be held at Harding next May is likely a "one and done," I expect the LPGA tournament played at Lake Merced in past years will return there if the club is interested in hosting it.  But LM may pass on holding the tournament next May given that the course has just gone thru an extensive renovation/redesign.

Int'l Crown is the LPGA version (Sort of) to the Presidents Cup and happens on a two year basis.


I have it on good authority that the mediheal event will not be on the schedule in 2023 and Lake Merced will not be hosting LPGA going forward.
