There have been numerous articles written worldwide about Michelle Wie’s disqualification at last week’s Samsung World Championship, including a few right here at The Sand Trap. That’s definitely the hottest topic in the golf world right now, all tours included. I thought it was pretty interesting at first, but I have to admit, I’m already tired of hearing about it.

It’s been a wild last few days for yours truly, but in a good way this time. I flew out to North Carolina to meet some of my fellow Sand Trap staff members for the Newport Cup. The entire weekend was very fun and entertaining. I had a great time with everyone, and the golf courses were great. We definitely don’t have many courses like Pine Needles in Oklahoma. I wouldn’t mind playing golf in North Carolina for a month or two straight, but I guess two days will have to do. My team did take the loss, but we are better because of it.

Now it’s back to reality and back to Thrash Talk. I didn’t catch very much of the PGA Tour’s Michelin Championship at Las Vegas this past weekend, but I’ve seen some highlights from the final round.

WGC-American Express Championship was an awesome event for golf! The last man standing was the best golfer in the world, Tiger Woods. Tiger defeated John Daly in a playoff after Daly three-putted from 15 feet.

Unfortunately for Big John, he three-putted twice in his last four holes to give the event to Mr. Woods. The victory was Tiger’s tenth in his World Golf Championship career.

First off, I hope everyone has had a more relaxing week than I have. My wife and I closed on our first house Thursday, and it’s been chaos ever since! That being said, I’m ready to settle in and talk a little golf. I’ve done my best to catch the main headlines this past week in the golf world, and a few of them have caught my attention. Michelle Wie, the soon-to-be professional, dominated the news once again.

Any golf fan who halfway pays attention to the sport knew Wie would turn professional as soon as she had the chance, and that seems to be the case. Wie announced this past week she intends on turning pro tomorrow. Well, actually her dad made the decision, which also comes as no suprise to yours truly. Wie’s dad has been a little controversial as of late, making just about every business decision for his daughter.
