Huge Michelle fan here.  Admittedly I did not read the entire thread so I apologize if my point was made before. I have the utmost respect for Michelle finishing her degree.  That can never be

Michelle Wie is great for the game. She is widely loved, and deservedly so. Will she ever win like girls or women from other countries that drop out of school to practice 12 hours a day- probably not-

She never had any form. She is the most overhyped female in the history of sport. She has delivered zero percent oh her promise and the sponsorships were based largely on her looks. She is also barely

She can and did! Great win in her home course. She's now won three times. Oddly, never on the Continental U.S., yet twice in North America and never twice in the same country. She's having a good year.

Outstanding. I think she moves the needle. Maybe not Tiger levels, but LPGA is exciting when she's striking it well. Thrilled for her. How cool to win on the course where you grew up. She played fearlessly on the back nine.

Absolutely. I found myself enthralled with the Dinah Shire a couple of weeks ago because of her, and actually watched the first round of this tournament because they featured her. Missed today though because I was playing. ;). Congrats Michelle!!

Great win for her career...but I don't think she's moving any needles.

Hopefully Michelle and Lexi will keep playing well, think it would be great for the tour and women's golf in general.

Very cool. [quote name="iacas" url="/t/59296/michelle-wie-will-she-ever-return-to-her-previous-form/120#post_979559"] She's having a good year.[/quote] #1 in GIR for 2014 so far. That's pretty good form, but we will see if she can keep the momentum rolling. I think April 2014, we may have the answer for the thread's initial question from June 2012: "Will she return to her previous form ?"

Wie was not into it at all. Her face was like "are we done yet?" from the start. I'm assuming she's not a dancer.

She looked she was having a lot of fun doing this to me.

Yeah?  Maybe I misread.  I thought it looked like an embarrassed smile, but I was only guessing based on body language, and if there is one thing that I am most certainly NOT an expert in ... it's reading females. :beer:

The hula is a very spiritual dance for native Hawaiians; many non-natives who spent their entire lives in Hawaii and embraced the culture as their own feel the same way.  It's not so much a dance as it is a form of expression.  I'd classify Wie as a non-native who is true kama'aina and probably takes these things very personally.

Anywho...

Michelle's ball striking is pretty amazing this year.  You realize how good she's been hitting it when you think about all the really short putts she has missed over the last few events, yet she's held a Sunday lead and nearly won more than once prior to this week.  Glad she could finally make it happen.

Moving the needle? Maybe a little, keep winning and she will start to draw attention. For me, Michelle playing made me not only tune in, but watch it over the men this week. A final round with Wie is more interesting to me than a 3rd round of the tournament after the Masters...

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.

      9 years and counting. Lil chipped paint here and there but still going strong. Also have an 18 deg driving iron that I got a couple of years ago which is doing well too. @iacastried it and I think he liked it.
