Michelle Wie really showed her age yesterday
 

Not so much that she messed up on Sat and thus got DQ'ed on Sunday. She clearly did mess that up. Its a dumb rule but so are half the rules of golf. They are there for consistancy.

But did you see her about to break down in tears at the press conference and she wouldnt admit she fucked up. I already am over her.

Take your 10 mil check from endorsements this year and relax. You'll end up being the best american female golfer in atleast 10 years...maybe ever.

I'd hit it.

Not legally you wont :thumbsup

:1orglaugh I'm sure there's a Michelle Wie countdown like the Olsen twins had

Her caddy should have knew and warned her, in the first place.

i woulda hit it 3 years ago, nugga what?

explain what happened?

She took an illegal drop (by accident, not cheating). Her ball ended up closer to the hole and she didn't realize it. A reporter who saw the whole thing alerted the LPGA and when they analyzed it and realized what happened, she was disqualified. She should have called for an official, or at least the player she was paired with before taking the drop to make sure she was doing it right and it all would have been avoided. Just young and inexperienced. With her endorsements, I doubt she is going to miss the 55k pay day.

damn that sucks but i mean she is young she lessons have to be learned

ohhhhhhhhh.... so that's what an illegal drop means

not a golfer.. so had no idea what the hell they were talking about this morn on the radio about that

They will tear her up for a little while but she is going to be kicking butt for years to come...

they want her to cry... older hate young success

she is just a kid for christs sake too too young to be playing pro sports.If the pros want her now they will want her when she is 18 or 21

Michelle is to the LPGA what Anna was to women's tennis.
You think she'll CHOKE on the big ones too ????

The best new women's golfer is named Morgan ... not Michelle.

I'm not a golfer either so that cleared it up for me as well :thumbsup

i dont like her

whats an illigal drop.what like she isnt 18 yet heh uh that was stupid.I gotta go.

I thought it was a huge bonehead move. Yes, she should have gotten an office...but look at the replace. She dropped it parralel to the bush...and then in the direction of the hole. They say it was a foot closer but i think it was like 3-5 feet closer.

But like i said...live and learn...thats not what is bothersome. Its that she passed the blame in her press conference. She more or less said she thought she didnt do anything wrong but I'm sure she's played 10 times more golf than me and I could clearly see what she did

I feel bad for that girl. Having to talk to the media is a pain in the ass for adults let alone a fifteen year old.

She chose her destiny. Unlike a lot of other situations, she didnt have parents forcing her hand to go pro. She's the one who says she can win as a pro. She's the one who thinks she can beat men DESPITE NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO WIN JUNIOR EVENTS :)

All i'm saying is...she wants to be treated and paid like an adult...she's in the adult world of sports. So time to act like an adult fair or not

ohh WIE Wie

I doubt she did that all by herself, she couldnt sign the deal you have to be 18

Boot her ass out..no room for women in a mans sport :1orglaugh

who is she? pics please

You can as an emancipated minor in most states and you can become one as young as 14.

I fucked her.

I was crackin up when I saw her at the press conference whatever, golf doesnt really do it for me anyways.

yo man, she's just a kid. Your kinda harsh :2 cents:

If microsoft hired a 16 year old to be their ceo and he accepted because he was exceptional...would that make the expectations of how you conduct yourself any less?


I think the real "child" in all this though was the sport illustrated reporter that went beyond his duties of reporting to become a tattle tail

Some little bastard reported her, or they would have never knew in the first place

You don't know what you're talking about :2 cents:

This thread is useless without pics :)

regardless of the events of the weekend, only injuries or disinterest will keep her from securing a place among the elite. her skill level is off the charts, especially considering her age.

thats a pretty bad anology. Is she not more of an investment? Her sponsors aren't stupid, I'm sure they realize that she's gonna fuck up a few times with media, and in tourny's n stuff.

If Microsoft hired an exceptional 16 year old, I doubt that would make ANY difference on MY expectations of how I conduct MYSELF.

What was your point again?

I was being sarcastic

She is not emancipated.So your point is?

the one thing that annoys me about this is the reporter who saw the possible infraction could have said something on Sat when it happened and she would have not be DQ. he waiting until AFTER the tournament was over, 'because it was bothering him' before he told the tournament officials. at least give her a chance to take the 2 shot penalty on the day it occurred....that guys is a cheeseball!

this thread sucks without pics ;)

My point is why hold her to a lower standard cuz she's young. And i think people are missing the point. What got under my skin was by no means that she messed up scoring herself. It was that in her press conference she took no responsibility...

She said and i roughly quote "If I had it to do over again I would have dropped it the same way because I thought I was right" ...there might be a few pronouns out of place but thats what she said.


I think the SI reporter is a huge ass though. Thats not his job

Michelle Wie (born October 11, 1989) is an up-and-coming player in the world of competitive golf. She is 15 years old.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii of Korean descent, she began playing the game of golf at the age of four. In 2000, at the age of ten, she became the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship when she made the field at the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Two years later, she would be a semifinalist at the same event, the youngest to ever do so.

In 2002, Wie became the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA event, the LPGA Takefuji Classic. In 2003, she shot a 66 in a round at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, tying the amateur record for a women's major championship. She also won the Women's Amateur Public Links in 2003, becoming the youngest person ever to win a USGA event for adults.

since you dont know her!

I guess sometimes i forget we arent all in the usa :thumbsup

It's not yet her time, she should wait for her turn. Just be patient!

At her age, she still impresses me. Besides, she's a fine looking girl. :winkwink:

She shouldn't be held to a lower stanard... and she wasn't.

And you're crossed because she thought she'd done it right and would do it the same way if she thought she was right? Boo Who.

Should she have cried and apologized profusely for cheating and vowed to never to it again? Would that have made you "feel better"?

This thread needs pictures

How about a simple "After looking back I made a mistake. I wont make the same mistake again"

and about the higher standard....i mentioned that in reply to the people who said..."she's just a kid"

Guess you missed her next few sentences...


I really think you're upset she didn't cry over ~$55K.

I heard it all...she saved a little face at the end by saying in her last sentence that she would get a rules official from now on...

But that was after the previous 6 sentences were about how she didnt do anything wrong.

1 sentence to the point would have sufficed. It came off as ...I was right, this is unfair....next time i'll use a rules official ass holes. I mean listen to the tone. I just figured she has "pr" people already who would have told her to be short and sweet and come off likeable.

She's got a lot to learn and I dont see how you can really defend those comments...unless you guys have a little crush on her :winkwink:
