HOWTO Meet Willy or Wimp the Wie Way: Charity
In this week’s Be Like Wie we’ll discuss the best way you can meet former presidents and other big name celebrities.
Prospective flesh pressers must remember that brevity and decorum are part of this activity and should brush up on their etiquette before going any further. For example: When a rock star former president compliments you on your midriff you should smile and thank him for the compliment.
Participation in charity events is the quickest way one can meet celebrities. If this is your goal do some research and find out what causes your favorite big wig donates their time toward. Working for an organization in any front line, hands on capacity increases the odds of bumping into them.
Following Michelle’s example you can donate money. If your goal is meeting a current or former president one need only look toward a given presidential library or party fundraiser. You’ll find that sometimes you’ll find the cost is a fraction of what Wie paid. Of course, during election years your chances of meet them for free increase dramatically.
What if meeting Michelle is your goal? That’s an easy one: Volunteer at one of her events. For starters check out the volunteer application for the Sony Open in Hawaii. Good luck!

I never met Mr. Bill, personally, but as an oldtime Harkinista, I’m only one degree of separation away from the guy, so, please — Slick Willie? Why not stick to golf, and Michelle Wie’s extraordinary gifts? I agree with Clinton’s assessment of her life prospects — she is probably destined to be great, and not necessarily just in the fun, but limited field of golf. I’d be delighted to see her run for the U.S. Senate some day, in whatever political party she chooses to support, and in the unlikely event she ever runs from Iowa, I’ll even vote for her.

Yes. Point well taken, Dave.
I’ll stick to Michelle Wie and golf on this site as I’d prefer to keep politics out of this domain.
But the writer in me thought the alliteration was too great to pass up.
Here’s the first alternate headline for this post:
Wie, Willy, Wimp: We’ll Whomp Weather—Together!

Michelle needs to be careful about who she is a big fan of. If I was Michelle’s father, I would be very careful about who she associates with. Personally, I think that Michelle Wie has more class, charisma and charm than Willy could even dream of having. And she doesn’t have to cheat to have a good golf score. Yes, it’s cool to meet a famous person, but [Clinton] is infamous.
Note: Troll comment edited. And a two stroke penalty for me for allowing politics into a site about a young professional golfer and her career.
