[About Golf] Michelle Wie Disqualified at LPGA State Farm Classic: Properly signing one’s score card is one of the most basic rules in competitive golf and something that Miss Wie should have been able to do successfuly since she was 10 years old while playing in Junior Golf events.

[Abritishman's Weblog] Yes Shes Learning But She Still Appears To Be So Dumb ”¦”¦”¦.!: With this incident now befalling Wie in competition one has to wonder what else can go wrong with her at this juncture that won’t create a stir on the LPGA Tour ? With each passing incident it can only be a matter of time before many will begin to consider whether or not Michelle Wie just a phenom whose yet to live up to her potential . Or indeed just another put upon self absorbed young athlete who can no longer handle real adversity when it comes their way. When so much is foisted upon someone with such a prodigious talent. It can only be matter of time before we’re able to assess whether or not they’re capable of proving themselves at all. Though now playing the LPGA Tour only part time while she attends Stanford University. Many of Wie’s obligations with regard to playing on the tour will come through sponsorship exemptions or through the schedule that has been set up for her by agent. Wie’s still an attraction on the LPGA Tour but for how long will the fans be willing witness much to their chagrin, her lackluster performances thus far. It’s a learning process but it’d appear that the learing curve hasn’t yet reached its peak for Wie.
