Wie’s 17th Hole Misfires Costly

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Michelle Wie’s talents are probably beyond my understanding.

My understanding of her talents are probably similar my understanding of Lance Armstrong’s body processing oxygen better than all other humans:

It’s freaky, genetic mutant science.

So I can’t offer much in the analysis of Michelle’s repeated misplays on the par-3, 17th hole, except to say that there’s some kinesthetic [...]

Wie’s Shares Lead at Sexy Evian Masters

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Michelle Wie, Lorena Ochoa, and Karrie Webb are tied for first at nine under.

Choice quote from the tour page:

Seated with his back to the border of a flower bed, Michelle’s father watches his daughter hit in her third birdie in the game she’s only just begun. Everything she does is committed to the memory of [...]

Jeff Gove Should Learn to Focus On His Game

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Yesterday, Michelle Wie’s group included Jeff Gove who admitted at first that he didn’t know she was playing through pain, yet…

“I saw she was hurting, but she never said anything. And she was walking real slow, which I thought was inconsiderate again because we’re trying to keep up. If we get on the clock again, [...]

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.

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 [...]

Thousands of Apologies, School Girl Uniforms, and Other Great Asian Things

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

I don’t get out onto Hawaii’s muni’s nearly enough as I’d like, so I won’t say that it’s the reason why postings have been a might bit peckish around here.

However, as observed by comedian Paul Ogata, we Asians apologize for everything. So now I’m apologizing to readers and pundits alike for the lack of fire [...]

Wie Can’t Complain, Except Perhaps for the Pun-ishment

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

The Mark Rolfing based headline over at the Honolulu Advertiser puns on Michelle Wie’s bogeying the Unlucky 13th as the sore point of yesterday’s third place finish.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s Dave Reardon takes the preferred approach, opting instead for the birdy on the 10th hole, namely a sea gull, as he takes his pun shot at [...]
