You might want to look at this, listen to her how she disrespects the game throughout this video and then you maybe realize why there are people who dont think that

Wasn't the above tournament just a few months ago? Looks like she still has some maturing to do. I hope she does though, because the LPGA could use her in a star role.

 Sub 70 849 9* driver

:callaway:  Rogue 3 & 5 woods, Rogue X 4 & 5 hybrids

She is 20 years old for pete's sake and still has a lot of growing up to do. I know I made some very wise decisions from age 16 to 21. I'm glad nobody is holding me accountable for the things I said or did at that age!!

Hell, I'm 37 and probably still need to grow up in some ways.

2 wins. She didn't hang on last week. I'm surprised there wasn't more cheering and wise cracks in this thread when Tseng overtook her with the closing nine 30. That's the norm on golf message boards, a dependable handful of posters whose LPGA attention span and comments are relegated to rooting against Michelle Wie. It's quite hysterical. Every event they are a comfy 12-1 to 15-1 favorite, since those are the odds against Wie winning. Imagine the terror when it looks like it will go the other way.

If the rest of that was aimed at me - sorry - I passed over all but the Lexi reference. She's got game, but the others I've never of.

Anyway, I think her performance in the Solheim Cup was on my mind when I said 3. Yeah, 2 wins.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

It always reminds me of the pathetic characters in Las Vegas sportsbooks who are too broke to be in action but go out of their way to chuckle when someone else loses. They'll waltz over and say, "Too bad. BTW, I liked the other side."

Gee, I lived in Vegas for 5 years, and was known to frequent a few sports books. I never saw or overheard anything like what you are saying. Maybe you hung out at different casinos than me.

Anyway, you think Wie is pretty good, I guess.

No one's denying Wie has freakish ability. She's got huge talent. Sergio Garcia has freakish ability too...

I'll take Lexi Thompson over Michelle Wie any day. LOL.

    • Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago. 
    • I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree. 
    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
