Stanley,

You know, if anyone else wrote something that silly, I'd assume he was joking.

But coming from you, I am sure you are serious.

Everyone has the privilege to fantasize, but you're abusing that privilege.

Yes, all of that and more. I love all the exemptions and strokes she takes. The more strokes she takes, means the longer she'll be on the course. The longer she is on the course, the more I get to marvel at her talent.

Stanley,

I need a few laughs. Explain to me why you still think Bubbles is a"big draw?"

Could it be her mythical 300 yard drives? Her 34-putt rounds? Hitting about 25% of fairways and greens? What makes her such a big attraction?

B.J. booted. B.J. Wie has been fired as the father of Michelle Wie.

"I just felt like it was time to move in another direction, relatively speaking," Wie said in a statement released this week.

"B.J. is a fine man, and he's still young enough to have other daughters he can screw up as badly as he screwed me up," the teenage golfer added.

"We at Wie Enterprises, the home of unwarranted hype, wish him all the best in his future endeavors," she said.

"The search for my new father will begin as soon as I shoot myself out of contention this weekend."

Yeah, Stanley, she'll be back in form alright....right where she left off, at the bottom of the pack.

Alex,
The Kraft tournament director wanted to invite her to play the event because she is a big draw and is good for ticket sales and tv audiences.
Furthermore, he knows that she was injured for much of 2007 and she should be right back on form for the 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Matt,

As you surely know, Bubbles can't play anymore events on the LPGA tour in 2007 since she has accepted all her allowable exemptions.

Last year, the only tournament in which she played after the Samsung was the Casio in Japan. Ther, she shot two rounds over 80 and missed the cut by a mile.

I can't imagine the committee at the Casio granting her another exemption. But you never know.

Bubbles did get a freebie to the Samsung. And recently the director of the Kraft Nabisco stated that he would LOVE to be able to grant Bubbles an exemption to that tournament, but since she wasn't an LPGA member, he just couln't.

My question is WHY would anyone in that position WANT to grant an exemption to a golfer so eminently unqualified?
