Holy Frickin' Mergatroid!!!! What is the next chapter to be written in the saga of Ms. Wie? Unbelievable!!!

First, as another poster pointed out, this young lady has played in dozens of tournament events. If this were her first "rodeo"... if she had zero idea that she needed to sign the scorecard (isn't that why you go to the scorer's tent... to tally, sign, and turn in your card?)... perhaps there could be an excuse. That, however, is not the case. This is a perfect example of a "brain fart"... something that separates "professionals" from those with professional potential.

I akin this to a person on a construction site that forgets to put on a hardhat. Nothing overhead to worry about... no emminent danger... it's just one of the rules. If there's no danger... perhaps it is a "stupid rule". But, if you are going to exist in that world, you have to play by the rules. Ms. Wie... every poster on this board, including myself... and the entire golfing community may think this rule ridiculous. But... until someone changes the rule... if you're going to play at that level you MUST abide by ALL the rules.

This young lady has all the attributes to become one of the best to ever play this game. The only things lacking are the experience of playing at this level and the, if seems, ability to focus. Both should come with maturity. Some mature quicker than others. Some use tough experiences as stepping stones to improving. To others, those tough experiences can be back-breaking. Let's hope, when this lady's life story is finally put to paper, these experiences are just chapters in a journey to success.
