what a joke the media is. they should be glorified annika yet more attention is paid to wie.

That's because we all know it's not her last major.

It's her own fault for calling out Wie in the way she did. All that did was give Wie more attention.

Wie is not the story over here in England - Annika was till the golf got going and now the tournament is. Why is the American media so obsessed with celebrity that it can't keep its eye on the REAL ball? And I'm right with Annika, Sophie and the others on this. If Wie wants to make a career in golf, she should be trying to forge it on the LPGA Tour (nod to iacas - I am now aware), not carrying out the latest in her series of pointless stunts.

That is true of SOME of the media. In our local paper, the stories about Juli and the Women's British Open is #1 (after all, it is a Major and Annika's last one). Fred Funk and the US Senior Open is #2 (again, it is a Major for the Old Guys). Retief Goosen and the WGC is #3. The Nationwide Tour is #4. And last, is Michelle Wie and the Reno tournament. That newspaper has their priorities right, in my opinion.

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

As far as this weekend is concerned, they are both part of the past. Annika is 10 shots back, and Michelle will spend the weekend home instead of playing the last two rounds in Reno. Meantime, Juli continues to be the BIG STORY, and if Natalie can win, SHE will definitely be the BIG STORY ( she is only 3 shots back right now).

Michelle Wie has a lot of growing up to do before we can refer to her as, "the future".

Shes got every shot in the bag, but she still lacks the mental game.

Wie needs to work on her mentality then get back to golf. She has all the talent in the world she just freaks herself out methinks.

I love to hate this damn game.

Exactly. She is still immature and its almost like she feels a sense of entitlement.

Say what? It's because the media is more interested in a freak show in this case. Wie has a long way to go to be a part of any future in professional golf.

      I think if I could hit a 2nd shot when I did not like the result from the 1st I am sure I would get some lower scores.  I guess the idea is to mentally put yourself in a position where you need to make a really great shot, not just a good shot.  For example, hitting from the lie next to the creek his 1st chip was, in my view, pretty good but it was not "Great" in his opinion so he tried to do better on the mulligan, but he failed and was farther from the hole. I see myself doing this more on the range.  For example, after a period of practice I will mentally say I need to hit 4 good shots in a row.  I start with a Driver and if that is good then I do a 3 Hybrid followed by a pitch with a wedge and finally by a short chip.  If any shot is "Bad" I have to start over.

      That’s how I interpreted it. You’re giving yourself two mulligans on every shot. Yea it’s just a variation of getting used to scoring low. I’m curious how valuable that practice is. I guess for some people they feel mounting pressure from playing a string of holes well? I’m kind of the complete opposite TBH. Once I start putting together good holes, I get a little swagger and if anything I get overconfident. I start thinking I can hit the green from anywhere, I can hit my driver to the smallest of targets, and everything inside of 10’ is going in. None of that is true, of course, and I inevitably will hit a miss that brings me back down to earth.

      I saw this video yesterday, couldn't figure out what he meant, then saw this thread and thought "oh maybe someone knows what he was talking about" and you guys are in the same place as me.  I *think* what he's suggesting is that you play a game such that going low is expected. He said there are different variations of it. I think his variation is you get three goes at a shot. You hit your first shot and it's good enough, then you just take it. If it's not good enough then you can abandon that shot and play another. If you still don't like it, you can hit it a third time, but then you're stuck with it. He's good enough that three goes at a shot ought to give him one that's good enough to move on. He did mention his parameters for what counts as "good enough", although I do note that he should have hit a third go on that pitch from the hazard based on that. He holed the putt though so it worked out in the end. I think if you're not as good as he is (which let's face it is everyone here and virtually everyone on the planet), then you'd adjust those rules to make it such that you might manage to make 5 birdies in a row. So maybe you play a two ball scramble with yourself and if you don't like either one then you can abandon those and hit a third or you play a three ball scramble or whatever it is that you need to make your standard work.  At its base though, it's just like going out and playing from the front tees or playing a scramble with yourself. The goal is to gain comfort with making lots of birdies and going way under par, so that when you find yourself in that situation in a real game, you don't panic. It's an interesting variation and if I ever got to play "for fun" at my home course, then I'd definitely try it.

      Timing yes, feeling maybe not exactly 😉 Weight shift forward can start as early as A3. Weight shift is a lateral sway.
