So Michelle hits any decent shot. As she walks to her next shot:

[amble amble] 'wave to fans who appreciate my greatness'
[amble amble] 'wave to fans who appreciate my greatness'
[amble amble] 'wave to fans who appreciate my greatness'
.....
.....
.....
.....

seriously she can seem like a windup toy. While many other players may acknowledge the crowds' appreciation once or twice, she is at it every two or three steps. No wonder she falls apart - her arms must be tired by the end of 2 holes...

She's not a waste, at least not yet. She's just been very poorly mis-managed by her "handlers" (a.k.a her dumbass father). She has a great swing, she just needs to play some tournaments with women and learn how to manage the mental aspect of her game (which we all know is 90% of golf).

She also needs to stop with the freak show of trying to play with the men. And that's more than likely the fault of her "handlers". They're the ones that keep shoving her into these men's events. Even Annika, who was #1 in the world at the time couldn't keep up with the men when she played in that one tournament. And she knows how to win at a high level, it's still not enough.

agreed, enough is enough. The media has fluffed her up enough time and time again - it is now time for her to really prove herself on the LPGA tour. Just because she has a great swing and can drive the ball well... she really needs to work on her mental game.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
