Wee Little About Wie

Okay, I am a bit disappointed in Thew's remarks about Michelle Wie. Could it be the side-show has just gotten boring? How many times must we predict failure - and then be proven correct - until it is no longer fun or challenging.

The men don't respect her, the women don't respect her and the sponsors will soon become tired of sponsoring a loser.

She is 16 years old. She has accomplished much and has a future in golf. But she is a sideshow.

UPDATE: Okay, this horse is dead. One quick comment comes from a live conversation with Thew. The thing I fear about Michelle is that failure is becoming acceptable. It is "okay" she does not win on the LPGA and it is "okay" she does not make the cut in the PGA. At some point this will take its toll mentally. Lining up a big putt, will she think, "it is okay if I miss it"?

Tiger wouldn't. Michelle needs the fire in the belly. She does not have that yet.
