If you know me at all, you know that I despise catchy phrases. Things like “must-play” or “hidden gem” or “green complex” or “fat buzzard” just drive me bonkers. Having said that, I apologize for calling South Africa the new Hawaii, but it is suddenly transparent to me that Nike is poised to move beyond Wie, should she continue to soil the sheets in tournament golf. Ashleigh Simon, 18-year old South Affy, has signed with Nike and WON a professional tournament on the Ladies European Tour (Catalonia, you know, up Barcelona way.) Kind of reminds me of how that evil emperor guy in Star Wars starts looking for a new apprentice once Anakin gets a little dinged up by Obi-Wan.

Always nice to have an extra ball in case the first one goes O.B.
