Will Michelle Wie be the next Anna Kournikova?
My fellow bloggers Doug Carey and Jay Flemma have been talking a lot lately about Michelle Wie and her sponsor exemptions. Should she get them? Should she accept them? Is it nothing more than a publicity stunt? Yada yada yada.
Well maybe it is nothing more than a publicity stunt. But guys, dont you get it? Womens golf needs publicity. Really badly.
Annikas up there breaking every record, winning 59 tournaments and no ones batting an eyelash.
But put a 15 year old on the PGA tour and suddenly everyone sits up and takes notice.
So maybe Michelle does risk becoming the next Anna Kournikovaa media darling who's all sizzle and no steak. Thats apparently a risk shes willing to take. If it doesnt bother her, why let it bother you? For one thing, the book hasnt been written on her yet. How did coach Pat Summitt turn the University of Tennessee's Lady Vols into the best women's college basketball team of all time? By having them practice against guys. Michelle isn't exactly wasting the best years of her life here, fellas.
As far as the argument goes that another, better female should get the bid first? Well, Michelle is still opening that door. One thing at a time.
Meanwhile, let the girl play. Shes darn fun to watch.

No way. No how.
Kornikova is a attractive, even pretty, but sharapova goes into the 'beautiful' territory.
If sharapova came along before kornikova, most people wouldn't give anna the time of day.

The only reason why Anna K. is considered to be more pretty is because she takes her clothes off for the camera.

That's what makes the world go 'round.
(I think most would disagree.)

Last time I played golf I hooked a shot that went off the fairway and bounced off three successive houses roofs before going into a street.
A pro that was playing in our foursome said: "I have never seen that in my entire life."
That was 6 years ago. If its not putt-putt, I'm not playing.

What's your point?
Hey pal, give me ring when Michelle qualifies for a mens PGA tournament without a sponsor's exemption. In the meantime, I know it's particularly tough for someone like you, but get over it.

Wouldn't waste the quarter giving you a ring...since you obviously only like to hear yourself speak anyway.
Again, try getting over yourself sometime.
To: Fierce Allegiance
It's definitely a topic that should be researched.

That incident was on the 12th hole if memory is correct. I put up the clubs and just drove the cart for the remaining 6 after that!

Gee, you're both a pointless and persistent little gnat.

Keeper of the beer is a very important function in the foursome.
