Caddie Whack: Wies Fire Greg Johnston

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Michelle Wie bashers might ask: Did Daddy Wie’s cell phone battery die out during the overseas flight, or is some lowly administrative assistant getting chewed out as this is posted?

Dear Daddy Wie: Keep Aussie Meat-Bags Away From Michelle

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

WTF, Daddy Wie!

WTF!

I don’t care if Jason Day is the top amateur turned pro from Australia, but you keep those 18-year-olds away from Michelle off or on the golf course.

Should Michelle Stay In Hawaii?

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Pacific Business News says Hawaii isn’t the place for a multi-millionare like Michelle Wie.

Our income tax isn’t rich people friendly it seems. PBN says most golfers live in Nevada or Florida where income isn’t taxed.
