Does Michelle Wie Have a Career Death Wish?

She's about the right age to start self-sabotaging.

Or as Bill Shatner would say, self-saboTADGing.

I'm with ya, Steve. Especially when I see her dad posing a question like: "What option do WE have?"

Excuse me?? "WE"??? Since when did golf become a two man sport...or more acurately...a mixed doubles thing like tennis?? Her dad's use of the word "we" is a classic example of a parent who is living vicariously through their child's success, and trying to claim some of it for themself.

Excuse me Mr. Wie, but you need to step behind the ropes and let your daughter play golf...IF she really wants to. You did your part. You raised her to adulthood (or at least near-adulthood) and got her into freakin' Stanford. What happens to her from there should be HER call and her call ONLY.

Did you ever think Mr. "WE"...oops, I'm sorry..."Wie"...that your daughter MIGHT be a lot more successful at golf if you'd just leave her alone??? That is, of course, IF she really wants to play.

But she's still awfully cute... The mob has spoken, and she remains on the front page!

The front page of czabe.com included, one might add....

And now the news today that she's playing in the PGA Legends Reno-Tahoe. WOW. She just fails to get the message here. Once good weekend and back to the PGA? How stupid is that. I sincerely hope she continues to fail, as she is a tremendous lesson to kids today. Don't sit and think you're the next best-thing at a young age and start making grand proclimations of your dominance (remember: she did say she gets bored easily and the LPGA might make her bored).

This is HER problem. And when the supposed greatest newcomer in (women's) golf is sitting in Q school trying to finish better than the cut, I hope we all, including her and her parents, remember that greatness is seen, NOT stated!

She probably got confused with all the recipes running through her head, this is why they shouldn't be let out of the kitchen.

If she goes to play the men's tournament and gets hammered, who will give her a sponsor exemption to play with the men again?
She won't win enough to play on the women's tour, and she said school outweighs Q school.
With failing to sign the card and playing the men's, she has removed all options for continuing to play golf. Daddy's little meal ticket has just given him the ultimate FU.

I take back what I said about her being stupid. She still is, but she has seen how to get back at daddy without resorting to the usual method (casual sex and the release of a sex tape, drug and alcohol abuse, or as I like to call it, going Lohan). Cunning.

She should give Mary Pierce a call and talk about overparenting.

I keep having this image of Wie's father throwing golf balls at the back of her head like in "The Great Santini".

I'm going to call my dad right now...ah memories.

Funny thing is the boys on Golf Channel actually defended Wie. Saying, "...where is her caddie...where is the rules official in the tent?...when Kobe scores 40 he doesn't have to sign the score sheet." Are you kidding me? What kind of a blowhard are you that you question the integrity of the game of golf? It's called TRADITION! If they didn;t have to sign theor own card where does that leave us? What's next...Free drops from sand bunkers?

The dog ate my scorecard.

I was talking to my friend about this the day it was reported. I called self-sabatoge because at Stanford, she was starting to somewhat feel like a normal (but very rich) kid experiences. I call it Marinoviching! The moment he went to college he tasted soda...hamburgers and weed and fell in love with being a kid which he was never allowed to do.

My suggestion to Wie is to get "injured" for another year, clean up her game in the meantime and start to prepare for a comeback like Jennifer Capriotti did in Tennis.

Anyone else think she sounds like she's about 8 years old when she speaks? I can see major daddy issues in the future.

Interesting theory, one can only hope it's accurate. The tool known as her dad is obviously riding the 'coat-tails' of his daughter and pushing her to the brink of estrangement. By the way, not that it matters, but Wie failed to sign her card after Friday's round,(in contention, but not in 2nd place) tour officials hadn't made the determination to DQ her until she had already teed off Sat AM and allowed her to play her round rather than disrupt the course of play. At least get the facts straight when you are going to rant (valid as it may be)...

The only thing left for Michelle Wie is a spread in Playboy. Hey Michelle, go check the mail, I am sure that Heff has something in there for you.

Would you please STFU about Michelle Wie already? You don't like korean people. Fine. We get it. Move onto something else.
