I have no problem with Michelle Wie playing against the best men golfers. I do have a problem with her being given exemptions into several men’s events. Ok, ok, I know; she brings a lot of people to the golf course which the tournament sponsors love but isn’t it getting a bit overdone? She has yet to make a cut in a men’s tournament in five attempts. Suggestion to Michelle: You are a marvel at 16 but so far you can’t even win a ladies tournament. You want to play with the men? Go through the same qualifying process as they do and I will welcome you to the tour with open arms. Oh, by the way, whining isn’t going to help. Show me some scores.....
Hi Jim!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been following Miss Wie, but my only comment would be this--I remember the match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. This match came only after Ms. King had proven herself to be a champion. She had paid her dues. I would think that at 16 Miss Wie has quite a ways to go!
Best wishes!
