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...

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
