This a link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...080402088.html to an article Wie Still Living in Her Own Bubble - Refusal to Admit Repeated Mistakes is Holding Her Back.

I have a lot of respect for Mr. John Feinstein as both a journalist and an author of such books as Tales from Q School: Inside Golf's Fifth Major, Caddy for Life: The Bruce Edwards Story, The Majors: In Pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail and many more.

Agree with Mr. Feinstein or not, IMO it's a very interesting article.

First, let me say, that I celebrated Michelle’s meltdown in Reno by watching Lifetime – television for women. I know that I’ll take a couple of hits here – but it is America – and like Walt Whitman said, “What I assume, you shall assume.”
I not only agree with Feinstein – I am willing to take the misogynist perspective here. Who really cares about female athletes anyways? Even if that female athlete feels compelled to compete against men. I mean, how many self-respecting men out there just can’t wait for the start of the LPGA season? If we have the emotional stamina to ignore Wie she’ll simply go away… I promise. And if she really wants to compete against men – I suggest she pick up a weapon, stand a post, and fight the good fight for our country in Afghanistan. If Nike made a M-16 she probably would. You go girl… go away.

Wait, what year is it? Because, last time I checked, it wasn't 1856. Women have a vote now, you now... and they're also allowed to compete in sports, whether you care or not. I for one love watching womens golf, pretty much as much as I like to watch mens golf. Maybe you could learn something if you watched it too. God knows, most of the LPGA tour could whip 99.9% of the people on this website with 4 clubs.

Also, no matter how important you think you may be, Michelle Wie won't go away if you ignore her, because guess what, she doesn't give a rats behind about what you think! I think your last comment is possibly the stupidest one too... in fact I really don't know how to respond to it, so I won't.

Slightly to the side of the topic: I've read all Feinstein's golf books, and although the man is entertaining, he desperately needs an editor to rein him in. Too much repetition and obvious pasting together of stuff he's written elsewhere.

I hadn't heard about the Reno-Tahoe TD's cut-off of a legitimate line of questioning.

I know I didn't watch a second of the event only because the organizers prostituted themselves by inviting a circus to a golf tournament.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
