I guess I'm more shocked that Michelle Wie made $12.5 million last year(while earning only $9,889 on the course...the rest coming from her deals with Nike, Sony, and Omega). Considering the world #1 Lorena Ochoa only got $6.2 million(earning $4.3 million of it on the course).

Something just is not right about that...

She is getting pretty THICK. Maybe thats why her swing has gotten so ugly of late...

All the talent in the world and no heart.
She lacks the passion to win. Her parents have forced her
to play, practice etc. I heard her on the golf channel say
that if her parents were not tagging along with her to practice
that she wouldn't practice. You would never hear that come out
of someone like Tiger's mouth.

Hopefully, for her, she is spending time away from her parents while at school. A lot of her mistakes can be traced to them. From the way she developed her career to her attitude. If she can get a dose of reality from her peers at school and gain some independence from her parents, then she should be able to get her golf career back on track later.

ditto, its hard to argue against both the education, association and life experience she's getting at stanford

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
