Rich in Ohio Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I got to watch Michelle Wie today and let me tell you, she is unbelievable. This kid destroyed the loser that had to play with her as she firmly planted herself within the cut. She tees off at 11:15am tommorrow and I will take off for a few hours and watch her destroy some other losers life as well. My son is 24 years old and plays scratch golf and he was just blown away by her talent. For only being 15 years old her poise and control of the situation is unreal. I have not seen a swing like hers ever in person...and I have seen alot of excellent golf. She will not only compete on the PGA tour someday...she will win. Mark it down.

Mark it down. 380391[/snapback] Except, she has shown no poise at all to date. Every single time she has been in a position to win something, she comes up small. Has she even won anything yet? I will agree that she has the potential to dominate the LPGA, but she more than likely won't win on the PGA tour. No way she can hit the ball out of the men's rough with those little twig arms...

And I agree with you about the rough, especially the majors. There are some tournaments, though, where the rough is not as thick as it would be in the majors. She'll win money on the men's tour, but she won't be a top 50 player. On the other hand she could transform the women's tour and really increase it's popularity, moving it more into the mainstream.

JinVA Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 men's rough with those little twig arms... 380653[/snapback] Yeah, its not like she has the upper body strength of that monster named Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yeah, its not like she has the upper body strength of that monster named Tiger. 380674[/snapback] Not sure if you are using sarcasm or not, but Tiger actually lifts weights. Not that there is anything wrong with little twig arms, I have them myself I might add, and it's hard to punch out. Imagine if she was in the rough at Sawgrass... Personally, I would like to see her go and dominate the amatures first, then play the guys some more. Nothing breeds success in golf like winning. It would help her confidence greatly, and could be the difference between making a PGA event cut, and what happend to her last weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 She should stick to trying to dominate/change the women's game. Then when she's reach Annika's level or beyond, she can should start trying to play with the big boys. But it appears the die has been cast.

JinVA Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Not sure if you are using sarcasm or not 380694[/snapback] I was being sarcastic, but not trying to be a smart a$$ either. The strength side of golf comes from within the mechanics of the swing, the finesse side comes from the mind. Wie possesses both these qualities in a big way and for a fifteen year old I think she has alot of poise as well. I'm not saying she's anywhere near ready to take on the men, but I wouldn't want to see her whipping up on the amateurs each week either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His upper body strength IS part of the reason he is so solid from the rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
