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.

Hell, you probably do a good enough job scaring them “good” Punahou boys away at home, but when the game is on I don’t want any [...]

It really helps that Michelle Wie is photogenic and well spoken in public.

If she were a fat, ugly, drug abusing, hypocritical, talentless, wind bag of a radio personality then you’d have to think she, as someone of high regard in her field, must be purely a creation of media hype.

She’s as entertaining with a microphone [...]

In Hawaii we set our alarms pretty early for “live coverage” of Michelle’s play. Coffee brews before sun up and I put on all sorts of titanium bracelets and rings. I’m a writer. I’ve got repetitive stress injuries, okay?

Don’t miss the great cover story on Michelle in this week’s Fortune Magazine. The 10 million dollar [...]

When Michelle Wie finished in the top 20 during the U.S. Women’s Open she answered critics who said she didn’t deserve an exemption. Wie’s four round total of 1-over 285 tied her with 17-year-old amatuer Paula Creamer. With her finish she is an automatic exemption for the 2005 U.S. Women’s Open. So where does she [...]
