A letter to Michelle Wie...

Found this over on TGC's website... I thought it was pretty good.

A letter to Michelle from Uncle John.

a little perspective on the pinata that is Michele Wie. She is just 17 and has been accepted into Stanford. As a parent of a 15 year old daughter that will also be applying to Stanford, do any of you know how hard it is to get into Stanford sans any athletic scholarship? As she is a pro, she is not able to compete at the NCAA level. So maybe just maybe over her long and tenured life she actually had time to prep for her SAT's and GPA and find time to compete at an extremely competitive level (see LPGA Majors record). While I agree that it is time for her to stop the PGA thing, she is world class and deserves little of the ridicule doled out here and elsewhere. Props to Michele for continuing to address the media in a dignified and classy attitude. For anyone to be able to handle the rigors of proffesional golf and the academics required to get into Stanford is remarkable.

Nice post...

I apologize for the deviation but last night they showed an interview with

Tadd Fujikawa and the kid said: " I might not win this tournament but I want

to try my best!"

Well, totally different approach with M.W.... I really hope she learns her

lesson and "sticks" where she belongs. (and I am a M.W. fan)
