He is a person that all of us are going to miss and we’re going to miss him in ways that have nothing to do with golf.”
I’ve never had a club built and constructed for me before. I’ve been fitted for proper shafts and things, but never have I had a custom club built to my liking. At some point I found out about 
So is it possible? We’ve all had this discussion time and time again and we all know Wie is going to continue to try. After all, her ultimate goal is to play in the Masters. So not only is she going to have to play on the PGA Tour, she is going to have to be very good against those guys as well. I don’t think Hootie is going hand out any special exemptions to the youngster.
