If she can't play for crap....I'd hate to know what you think of 90% of golfers in the world she could probably mop the floor with.

Interesting.
Whatever else you may think of Wie, don't forget she finished in the top 5 at a few majors in the past year or so, and has earned a great deal more money on course than a few other LPGA players.
I suppose none of them can play for crap either.
ok, let me respond.
in michelle wie's defense...
she could show up at my local country club and probably beat every member there, male or female.
michelle wie could also beat me; i am a very solid golfer, a male, and i have absolutely no reservations saying that.
but in my defense...
i think michelle wie is basically all hype. her couple high finishes aside, michelle has not lived up to any of the amazing praise she recieves week in and week out.
johnny miller says she has the best swing in the world...this is because she is young, athletic, and has had the best instruction money can buy for years. i am a firm believer that kids in new york city's first tee program have equal talent, and give the same access to equipment, competition, and instruction as wie, could be even better.
wie seems to have no killer instinct. only once has she closed the door on a field to win a tournament of any worth. maybe watch...oh i don't know, morgan pressel (a now major champion who receives FAR LESS airtime) if you want to see a player who has killer instinct.
wie constantly is over her head. her pga tour track record speak for itself. annika (then number 1 player int he world!) tried to play against the men once, failed, and then came to terms with the fact she was not meant to play on the pga tour. conversely, michelle wie (an uncredintialed, spoiled little girl) tried one more than one occasion to break through ont he men's tour and failed. MISERABLY. not to mention allowing wie to compete in men's events also takes opportunities from more deserving golfers- you know, people trying to pay for their kid's tuition.
we also have the "wrist injury" controversy(-sies). why is it that every time michelle is dangerously close to player her way out of lpga exemption, her wrist injury magically reappears? brittany lincicome was right to assume this injury was a mere stunt to get michelle away from professional golf (where i think she belongs until the time is right).
in summary, i don't believe michelle wie is a joke or in underserving of being a professional golfer. i think she is a victim of the media- everyone wants her to be "the next tiger woods" (why do you think she's backing away from pro golf to go to, of all places, stanford)- but she is not. what michelle wie is, is a pretty talented young golfer who, int he end, might win 2 or 3 majors and a handful of events on tour. she is not at all ready for professional golf at the moment and is a sports persona, who at least in my opinion, has lost all the novelty which got her int he media spotlight.

i said "then number 1 player."
morgan pressel gets less airtime than wie.
and i don't know how often you watch the golf channel or read golf magazines, but michelle wie gets sooooo much airtime.
...and yes, you are right. this shouldn't be here haha

enlighten me, please, as to why there is a segement about michelle wie during the golf channel's "live from the british open"...ABSOLUTELY NO RELEVANCE TO THE TOURNAMENT.
my point is that she gets too much airtime

I couldn't agree with you more. Charles Barkley has won as many LPGA events as Wie. I am over her until she proves herself. Win, or at least finish, a tournament and I might pay attention again.
Michelle Wie WITB......who cares?

In no particular order, Nike, Michelle Wie, me, and curious fans worldwide.
Now, what, exactly, was your post supposed to add to the discussion? Even those who posted critical replies before you had something interesting and thoughtful to add...
