Michelle Wie Commentary

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

Here is a terrific commentary on the future of Michelle Wie with regards to handing the media and the pressure that it will bring. 

Tiger Woods has done a great job of keeping everything in-line and has become a master at the press conference.  How these guys (and girls!) play at the level of golf they do and deal with the intense scrutiny is beyond me.  I have a hard time making a drive when I have 1 or 2 strangers watching me, let alone 20,000 in a gallery and a few million on live television.  I guess its like everything else, you get used to it and tune it out after awhile.

Michelle is going to soon learn what its like to play high-level golf in a virtual fishbowl.  And it starts this weekend at the Samsung Championships.  Wouldn’t it be wild if she won the damn thing?!

Anyway, read this excellent commentary article about Michelle Wie, some good points to consider.
