Michelle Wie and Solheim Teammates Visit White House
There are so many great perks to being a great golfer. Add a visit to the Oval Office as a once in a lifetime experience for Michelle Wie and the members of the victorious 2009 Solheim Cup.
The ladies spent a whirlwind 36 hours in our nation’s capitol, highlighted by a visit to the White House to meet the President and to give him a gift.
For Michelle Wie, it was her first visit to Washington D.C. and the first President she has met that went to the same high school! Yep. Both Michelle and Barack Obama graduated from Punahou School in Honolulu, a private, college preparatory school — Obama in 1979 and Wie in 2007. Talk about having something in common!
Sources say that when they met in the Oval Office, the two exchanged shakas – a common Hawaiian hand greeting. She then promptly draped a lei, a Hawaiian garland, around Obama’s neck.
The team toured the White House as well as the Lincoln Memorial while in Washington.

LPGA Players Bid Farewell To ANNIKA
LPGA Tour Players bid a special farewell to ANNIKA. …
Why is Michelle Wie so famous and why does she get so much attention?
Everytime I turn on ESPN I end up having to hear about her and for the life of me, I can’t understand why. She fakes injuries, refuses to join the LPGA so that she doesn’t have to abide by their rules, and has absolutely no respect for the sport.
Oh yeah, as for golf, she can’t even beat girls her own age like Creamer, Ochoa, or Pressel let alone win against grown men or women pro golfers.
Why does she continue to get so much attention? I know she gets offered exemptions to play in tourneys because the tourneys will make a lot of money. And the tourneys make a lot of money because people pay to see her. I guess my question should be, “Why are people in awe of her and pay so much attention to her when she can’t win at anything?”
And please don’t answer by saying, “Leave her alone, she’s only 17.” She chose to go into the spotlight, she chose to draw attention to herself by trying to play against adults, and even 17 year olds should take responsiblity for their actions.
