I guess I'm not as impressed with Michelle Wie as most. To my understanding, she can not play any of the pro events unless she is given a sponsor's exemption or she does the open qualifying. The LPGA Tour rules are that you must be 18 when the tour season starts after going through Q school. And I thought you had to have graduated from high school for both tours.
I'd be more impressed had she won a US Amateur or even a Jr Amateurs title or been a factor on a college team. She is definitely not the second coming of Tiger. Wie is a good player no doubt but I am seeing the hype much like the "Kournikova syndrome" than a true future golfing champion..

Why is it that only golf can have someone DQ'd more than 24 hours later than an incident occurred. If golf can't get it's act together, it will lose lots of fans. Golf is the only sport where an infraction can be called on someone by a reporter, TV viewer or someone not even in the game. Can you imagine a fan calling in to major league baseball after the world series has been won and saying the winning home run should not have counted because the previous pitch was actually strike three and the hitter was out. If the rules officials, playing partners or the golfer themselves, don't catch a golf infraction on the day it happens, then it should not be a factor again. Come on LPGA, and PGA, you have the most honest athletes playing this game and being DQ'd or penalized more than a day after the fact is ridiculous.

Golf is the only honest Competitive Sport and relies on the integrity of all players to comply!
That some Journo was allowed to voice an opinion a day later is intolerable.
The only person who has that priviledge are her playing partner/s or a Rules Official who observes the infringement and if none of them state that an infringement was about to become an issue they should immediately state their opinion on the Player. Otherwise no one has the right to later interfere with the player or the outcome after the shot has been played!
To become a Top Player in Golf takes a lot of work not only by being able to play the shots to achieve the Scores, but also by knowing all of the Rules!
I have played many Tournaments and so aware of the pressure that making any mistake costs! So I'm quite sure that Michelle also knows and that she did think her drop was ok. Her playing partners made no comment! So why should some lought who has no concept of being a Top Golfer be allowed to interfere at all! I find totally disgusting and Hope his stupid attempt to promote himself as a seeing eye dog not only is clearly recognised by his present employers, but all other Employers. I definitely will never read anything he ever writes again!
I accuse both the LPGA and PGA Control Organizations of allowing this abuse to occur. Just to provide Gutter Copy.
Hopefully Top Golfers will stop being Puppets and used by the unknown well hidden Opperators behind all of the Professional Golf Associations Tournaments, to fill their own pockets! And will run their own Tournaments! I am sure they would provide a cleaner and more acceptable future for Golf and repair the lost Integrity that's been abused since the PGA (Organisation?), assumed total Control over virtually everything to do with Golf by using Golf Professionals.
I feel sorry for any player who suffers interference from loud mouthed unwanted spectators who get there 'jollies' from yelling out garbage during play. Remove them immediately, they harm the Game they don't add anything but unwanted disturbances with their NOISE!
I hope Michelle Wie is able to overcome the stupidity of all these idiots and play as if it never happened.

I find it ridiculous that someone watching slo motion on tv can call rules officials about something that they think is wrong and have them review something that happened 24 hours ago. If baseball, football or basketball viewers had this opportunity, no games would ever get finalized.
