After angry young man Joel Tadman’s critique of Michelle Wie we have come across someone who is taking the opposite stance. We like to provide a balanced view at GP so have a read of Gene Wojciechowski views on our ‘Shell and make your own mind up. Again we’d love to hear your thoughts. Stick it to them Gene…. ”There's a reader who e-mails me every time Michelle Wie shoots 80-something, withdraws from a tournament, angers Dottie Pepper and her dog, or doesn't make the cut. He's not a complete nut job, but if I had to choose between his brain mass or the size of a Pro-V1, I'm taking the Titleist. This guy revels in Wie's failures and mocks anyone (hello) who thinks Wie has the talent to do a Tiger Woods on the LPGA Tour and one day qualify for a PGA Tour event. I'm on the Wie golf cart. I've been there since the first time I saw her hit a tee shot during a pro-am at the Mercedes Championship at Kapalua's Plantation Course. She was 13, I think. You could hear the ball beg for an ice pack as it left the clubhead. Joel stealing Michelle's chair just out of shot. I'm on Wie's side of the ropes because I've seen her in social settings, surrounded by corporate types, media types, big-money types -- and she didn't WD there. Instead, she handled herself with grace, humor and a certain carefree, teenage goofiness.” For more about this story click here… To check out Joel’s original comments click here For a profile of Michelle Wie click here… For up to date information on what’s going on at the GOLFPUNK Ladies English Open click here… Take advantage of our cracking 2 for 1 ticket offer by clicking here…
