She will discover penis, be seen leaving nightclubs with tatooed lead singers of some punk-ass band, sponsors will drop her quick, she'll do a controversial cover shoot for a men's magazine, then she'll go on Oprah and cry, and all without ever winning a tournament. Spare me the drama, but I'll have a look at the men's magazine when it comes out.

Indeed- she has become the Paris Hilton of Golf.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!


Maybe, to some extent, this is our fault. It is we, the public, who have made such a fuss about Wie, and cast her as a superstar before she was even a star.

And there may be permanent damage to her wrist. Young, developing bones, ligaments, and tendons are very susceptible to injury, especially for someone as long-boned as she is and as hard as she tries to hit the ball. She needs rest and a long period of rehab with weights to build up her tissues.

I blame her parents, Nike, and us.

I don't place any blame on myself, sorry. It's the "stardom" - something "we" gave her to use your logic - that got her $10M, after all. I had no input on her decision-making or behavior, so I refuse to take any of the "blame."

You have to feel sorry for this girl on one level I mean who amongst us would enjoy the almost ritual humiliation she has been put through for the last 12 months . That girls father has a lot to answer for and if he is not very careful when she gets a little older not only will she have grown to hate golf which would be a great shame .She may well have grown to hate him as well and all the money Nike can muster will not compensate for that schism.

    • Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces. 
    • Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed. 
    • You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.
    • Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping. 
    • I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
