Michelle actually played good

She ended up 14 under in the German tourney. Quite an improvement from last year's scores. I hope she does better now after her being brought down to earth last year. That learning experience might make her a better golfer actually. Now if Bedwetter and her greedy family stay away and don't mess up her head again ......

She should have won that tournament in a heartbeat. This imo proves just how far she has fallen. The course was no tougher than a local muni and the womens euro tour is 6 hdcp heaven. If she cant win on a bush league tour she aint ever going to win.

Lyle,

You might want to cut her some slack. She is coming off a wrist injury and had been playing so poorly her confidence was completely shot. Add all the media scrutiny to that and her mental condition had to be horrible.

Playing decent in Europe is going to help confidence which is exactly what she needs right now. She is not the player she used to be and it is going to take her a while to get both the physical and mental aspects of her game back to where they were before last year. She may never make it back, but at least she is trying.

And she is always going to be a better player than you and she is a girl....

Sorry, but after the little stunt she pulled a few years back I will never cut her some slack. She withdrew, citing an injury, when in reality she would have shot over 88 and been barred from the LPGA for a full year.
So yes she is a girl, and yes, she is better than me, but at least I dont fuking cheat.

I cut her a little slack because I look at her more as a kid. I think she got into mainstream professional golf WAY too early. Golf(especially at that level) takes so much mental preparation and toughness and there was no way she was ready for it all at her age, and most likely still isn't. Go to school, play college golf, the money will be there. (I'm sure it's probably too late for that)

WOW is this a sexist comment. Obviously women are vastly inferior to men in such a way that if they can be better at ANYTHING it is a travesty...

FYI: Lyle and myself and everyone on this board is probably better than Michelle Wie at something, just not at golf. And I'd bet if Lyle had the opportunity to do nothing BUT golf with his life, he would wipe the floor with Wie.

I'm with Lyle. I have no sympathy for such a manipulated and less than honest career. There has been no appreciation of whats involved and zero work ethic, just now, now now, me, me, me. The wrist thing and mens tour debacle turned me off totally.

King Par is an unknown quantity at this point
You earn respect by being honest among other things. Wie is far from that.

I could care less about her, she's a joke. Maybe she can get on the next episode of the Big Break? It's not really her fault personally though, she's a kid, so not making these decisions for herself. The marketing machines picked her up, paid her parents a crapload of money and she stunk. What is she, like around 300 in the world for female golfers but probably #1 in endorsement money, lol. What a joke.
