Not many, but I'll bet she will rack up a comparable number of MC Hammers.

It might be interesting to see how many tournaments [LPGA, PGA & etc.] Michelle manages to work into her schedule after she matriculates at Stanford in August.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I believe that she will play very little golf, if any, after turning 18. I suspect she has grown to hate golf in the last two years. I don't know anyone (in person) whose parents made them play golf as kids, but I suspect that most of those people don't play as grown-ups, and if they do, they picked it up independently.

She will discover penis, be seen leaving nightclubs with tatooed lead singers of some punk-ass band, sponsors will drop her quick, she'll do a controversial cover shoot for a men's magazine, then she'll go on Oprah and cry, and all without ever winning a tournament. Spare me the drama, but I'll have a look at the men's magazine when it comes out.

You, sir, should be ashamed of yourself. I mean, really! Oprah?

Well said. Couldn'tve put it better myself.

You guys got it all wrong! I predict just the opposite.

When Michelle grows into a woman instead of a goofy little girl, I look for her to pull a fairly low-key Sean O'Hair. When she is strong and mature enough to put her parents in their rightful place and take full control of her game (and not incidentally her life ) there is no reason why her considerable talents should not develop to where she is a dominant force in woman's golf.

This, of course, also presumes that she matures enough to abandoned the silly notion of becoming a dominant force in men's golf.

Assuming the men's golf was her idea in the first place. Good prediction: golf is something she's reasonably good at and can make a career out of, if she hasn't grown to hate it by that point... and we don't have much evidence as to whether she hates golf or just the way her parents have her play.

Not to mention multiple paparazzi photos in the tabloids with her getting hammered and/or high...

Just a shot in the dark here, but I would say her plummeting play is evident that she's not having fun with it anymore.

Certainly, if she weren't having fun with it anymore, the poor play would be a result. In fact, that 88 might be a purposeful thing -- she may well shoot it on purpose just to be out of LPGA-land for a year.

Alternately, it could be a result of parental pressure to do well. I knew kids who had parents like hers (or at least her dad; no idea where the mother is), pressuring them to do well academic-wise. I don't mean "you should do well in school," but the type of parents who viewed an A- or a 4 on an AP exam as a sign of failure. Several of these kids started failing a variety of classes (AP English fails from kids who wanted to be engineers, etc), sometimes on purpose, sometimes on account of lack of interest. The stereotype of asian parents is a reality for some, but not all, and it isn't limited to asians. But my impression of B.J. Wie certainly fits. And is professional golf as a teenager the sports equivalent of an AP class? I'm so glad my mom didn't fit the stereotype that she might otherwise be in.

I don't know what will help her anymore. I can say that I am so tired of hearing about her that there is only one person's name that can make me change the channel faster. Sergio Garcia. Considering my disdain for Garcia that is saying a lot.

In case anyone else was in the same boat as me (where I come from, we call it enroll - "Bubba done gone and enrolled in one of them high falutin' universities. sumbitch!":

Personally, I think if she were to kick it in school a little and have a few beers, get laid and maybe even partake in some other form of rebellion it may just save her from her father living vicariously through her. She needs to understand that she is in control or her. Obviously, she can't pull a Paris and keep her sponsors but she needs to kick back and chill. It will be good for her and whatever she decided to be when she grows up.

Hmmm. Haven't heard that word "enrolled" before, but I'm familiar with "sumbitch" and it might even cross my lips from time to time.

My bad. Meant to say "enrolt".

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
