You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, Iâ€™ll try to get the hang of it!

Her baggage is all the negatives thoughts in her head that starting when she could not live up to her and others expectations. As said before she never should have tried to play with the Men.

She should have stayed within her own level and learned how to win under pressure.
Her young mind was too fragile to take losses and disappointment at such a young age. Part of it is genetics. Her father could not perform under pressure either,
When She suffered heat stroke at that one tournament in the desert playing the men did not anyone see the look n her eyes. She looked totally defeated as they put her in that ambulance. That will forever haunt her no matter how much therapy she has or how many affirmations she tells herself. Positive thinking is sometimes not enough.
She's the best physically but her "baggage is killing her" She may have to quit
She 14 or 15 strokes behind Kristie Kerr after 3 rounds at LPGA Championship right now and she out drives Christie by a lot.
One of problems is she is built too long. Her arms give her distance, but they make her accuracy fail, that along with her baggage. They should give her a 42 inch driver or less then she could be a little more accurate. That would not help her putt under pressure though.
She has to get rid of most of the baggage first.
Possible but not probable because She's in denial and delusion.

Michelle's latest gaff came at Tres Marias and those dreaded last six holes on Sunday. How do you take a double bogey on a 128 yard par three hole when every granma in Mexico is getting birdies and pars? (Miyazato birded the hole for a 3 shot swing) The straw that broke the caddy's back was when she missed that two foot straight in putt for par on no.17. For comparision...Miyazato had to make a 8 foot breaking putt on the final hole in order to win the golf tournament. Michelle, put down your Stanford books and start reading "The dummie handbook on how to putt."

I just think she's too talented to do anything but succeed. Just the fact that she's weathered all harsh words about her and has been able to find success that nearly any 19 year old phenom would be satisfied with. I hope she reaches her full potential because I think we would all be amazed.

Mr. Wie and what he has done would be a part of the "baggage" of the past couple of years, yes.

With "baggage" I presume you mean people like her crazy, greedy father?

Here is one of my favorite BJ Wie statements:

“I’m well aware there that some say, since Michelle Wie is an American why is she making such a fuss. But you know what, the only thing about her that’s American is her passport, she is “definitely” Korean.” The golfer’s favorite dish is “rice with pork Kimchi soup with extra tofu and toasted seaweed on the side.” Her mouth waters when she hears about Bossam (boiled pork) or steamed codfish, and Soondae (Korean sausage) and Deokbokki (broiled rice pasta with Korean chilli paste sauce). She may have been born in America but her first words were Korean, and she did not start learning English until after she was attending school."

She will never give up the length advantage of having a driver available. She may develop more discretion as to when she pulls it out (think Tiger at Royal Liverpool), but that's about it.
