Michelle Shoots 65 to Close in On Annika

Friday, October 14th, 2005

 Oh how marketing companies love this!  Michelle shot an incredible 7 under 65 today to move oh so close to Annika making for what should be an exciting weekend - the rookie against the veteran. 

The William Morris agency, Michelle Wie’s choice to help market herself, must be cracking out their calculators to start counting the money.  If Michelle can stay with Annika, you can almost guarantee that Sunday’s telecast on network television will be the highest rated LPGA event ever. 

And this could be the sign of great things to come.  You’ve got to hand it to Michelle, she is playing great despite all the hoopla.   Just take a look at the scorecard below of Michelle Wie for round 2.  More tomorrow!

Wie Shoots 70 on Open Round

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Michelle is holding her own in the Samsung Open with a 2 under par 70 yesterday.  Trouble is she has Annika playing out of her mind and shooting a 64!  I can’t even imagine shooting that low, but there are lots of women playing really well at this course.  I guess Annika plays the course all the time so there is definitely some advantage there.

On a lighter note, here are:

5 Truths About Golf

1) Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.

2) When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

3) If you’re afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

4) The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

5) No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

More of these to come!
