The End of Men

 With Kathi aka The BD winning her 6th AI Championship a few weeks ago, The AI Testosterone Committee called an emergency meeting with the goal of finding a way to turn the tide back to the halcyon days when only white men were allowed to compete.  

Fortunately, good friend and benefactor to all manly men, Tucker Carlson, is already on the case.  The AI will be shipping light emitting testicle tanning obelisks to all Man Stans in plenty of time to begin training for the return of male hegemony to AI-XXVII

AI-XXVI: It was a very good year



Things have finally settled down at AI-HQ after what many people are calling the best AI ever.  A lot of people are saying that.  Alternatively, few have a clear memory of previous AI's.

That said, The AI would not and could not be as Emma has so cravenly noted "the greatest tournament ever. Like of all time" without the help and contributions of so many Stans:  bottles of fine champagne,  bottles of wine, a cocktail party (with food), lighting and staging, 'art' design and consultation, cooking both at home and at AI-HQ, mad clean up after meals, annual seafood bake and so much more.  You know who you are.  And, of course to the one without whom none of this would be possible, The BD and her inexplicable energy and love for  The AI that go a long way to make it whatever the hell it is.

Bowling For Sotweeds Returns

The acclaimed BFS returns after a two year hiatus. That exactly no one missed it during those two years holds no truck nor any other motorized vehicle for the non-Stannite public. Yet we persist. 

The perennial champions Reef and Weedith lobbied effectively for its return and now must carry the heavy burden of their expectations along with AI bowling shirts that were last washed at AI-XV

The AI Bowling Committee has enlisted the help of Earl to help the Stans in understanding the nuances of this Sisyphean game that involves hurling a large, plastic ball down a waxed lane in the hope of knocking over pins that will almost immediately be stood back up.

We hope this provides some incentive for the return of BFS

The AI looks to recruit new (lack of) talent

 The AI Scouting Committee is always on the prowl for new players who exhibit the (lack of) talent and persistence in maintaining that level that has become the hallmark of The AI.  Every now and then a player appears who is classified as a can't miss prospect.  We believe we have found that player.  A formal invitation has been issued.


FORMER LPGA PLAYER SHOOTS 127 AFTER BEING ASSESSED 42(!) PENALTY STROKES DURING SENIOR LPGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Lee Ann Walker was assessed 58 penalty strokes after it was discovered she had violated Rule 10.2b several times over the course of the first two rounds at the senior major. Of the 58 total penalty strokes, 42 were added to her first-round score, changing it to 127. The 16 added to Round 2 brought Tuesday's score to 90, leaving her at 73 over for two days, 39 strokes behind the next-worst score.
