"Everyone seems to know what I'm doing,'' B.J. Wie said last week from his office at the University of Hawaii. "Nothing is firmed up. I have not made any decisions. We're still working on a number of things.''

Uhm, isn't it Michelle's decision? Or shouldn't it be? I wouldn't begrudge a dad the option to give advice, and he's still her legal guardian and all that jazz, but "I have not made any decisions" sounds a whole lot like his daughter is along for a ride on the BJ Machine*.

* Please, keep the wisecracks to a PG-13 level.

I hang out with a girl once, who's nickname was "BJ Machine"... good old times. You don't refer to her by any chance, do you?

As a father myself, I would have to say no, it's not her decision. A person her age doesn't have the wisdom to make a decision of that magnitude.

And her money-grubbing (seemingly) father does?

To be honest, the decisions to be made are difficult ones for anyone. I have know idea what her father's intentions are. Maybe they're good, maybe not. The fact remains that she is still in many ways a child. Being able to hit a golf ball like an adult does not make one an adult.

I know that a lot of people would not agree with me. That's OK too.

I think it's pretty stupid for golfers to turn professional before the age of 18 to be honest. She needs to play alongside the rest of the amateurs until she can legally make the decision on her own, and then she can do whatever she pleases.

I don't care how good a player is, they shouldn't be playing with the professionals until they are adults.

Hell, you can't vote until you are 18. Why should you be able to play professional golf that young?

I know she helps the game by playing in LPGA events, but I am entitled to my opinion, and I am not afraid to speak it.

As for the BJ Machine, I'm not sure how to respond to that one.

Or buy porn or cigarettes.

Despite the title of this thread?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
