That night will haunt Michelle for at least a few weeks.  Like social media, it seems athletes and celebrities can't comprehend that everyone has built in still / video cams on their phones and nothing they do can be considered private.


I think I heard somebody say that Derrick Jeter makes people that come to his house leave their cell phones at the door. Maybe more should do that.

People that like Wie will think it's cool or hip and people that don't will think it makes her look bad.

I'm sure plenty of 24 year olds do the same thing and I'm also sure that plenty of them don't.

Still meh to me. Doesn't surprise me any.

I don't think it hurts her sponsorship value but I do think she'll grow tired of seeing and answering questions about the video which is what I meant by "haunt"

If it was Tiger, you might have a point.

It's a girl, and an LPGA player. She'll be asked a few questions and then people will move on due to lack of interest.

If it was Tiger we'd have a complete scandal with on the scene coverage.  I understand your point, I guess I consider Michelle the closest to the LPGA equivalent of Tiger so that's why I think it will be a bigger story than if Blair O'Neal did it.

I don't think anything will come of this at all, it's a non-story, she's a young girl having the time of her life and doing what many people do after such a big accomplishment- getting drunk and acting silly, this is not even remotely a Miley moment, I cheer her on, good for her!

Yeah.  Although I think you are vastly ;-) overestimating how many people are going to ask her questions about this.  I barely cared enough to write this post, and I think I'm in the majority.  A young girl celebrating something by dancing?!?!  Oh, the humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything that she could have done to celebrate that would be crossing the red line in your opinion?

Although this wasn't directed at me, I think cold blooded murder would probably be crossing the line.

It depends, if I was single and Michelle Wie asked me to participate with her at the US Open after-party, I would be ok with those things...

sorry ma

That's not what he said. He said one thing was across the line. He didn't say that thing was the first thing across the line.

It's a girl shaking her booty. It's not a big deal IMO. But then again, I view women and men as more alike and having more of the same rights than others might.

Very true, but he also then concurred that he is ok with those things (even that he would join in if he was single, but maybe he was joking I don't know) Also, my question was about the first thing across that line that is why I understood his answer that way.. Anyway, it is an interesting topic, but I guess I'm in the minority here so I'll just respectfully exit this one :)

Slightly off-topic, if you were single...and Michelle Wie wanted to give you a lap dance at the US Open after-party...would you deny her?

HAHAAAA! This chick is so rad. I'm not sure why anyone would complain about this unless they were born in the 1920's...IF she even gets asked about it by some media-type, she'll brush it off with confidence and have the humility to laugh at herself like she always does.

Haters gonna hate...

That's a truly incriminating question for a married man!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
