| Re: Michelle Wie IMHO Michelle Wie playing with the men has more entertainment value than the male golfer she replaced. In other words "MONEY" value. I know if I had a chance to go watch a golf tournament with her in it, I would do so more readily than one with an extra male golfer, who is probably ranked nearer the bottom of the top 150. I am pretty sure she did replace a male golfer who is not really that much better than her. Although she missed the cut again, she was not the only golfer to miss the same cut line. We should all remember that her parents, and her sponsors run her professional golfing life at this time in her career. The proverbial "cash cow" for her handlers if you think about it. "MONEY" again.
If she were my daughter? No, she would not be playing in men's tournaments. She would be learning how to win against her on course equals.
As for the male golfer she replaced? There is always the Nationwide Tour to hone his skills on, so that he won't be replaced by a teen age girl, who is a golfing phenom. GJS |
