Kids huh, they are a right lairy lot. We asked Joel the new fresh faced, kettle shy (apparently he has a caffeine allergy) workie to write us a blog because we wanted to go home early and nip off to the post office. He came back with a critique of occasional golfing phenom Michelle Wie. Personally I think he's got some good points but it's a bit harsh, but I'll let you make your own minds up. We'd love to read your comments. Take it away Vikki Pollard... "In professional sport, if a player is injured they don’t play. Managers, particularly in football, would rather play it safe and ensure their players’ fitness for consequent games than risk making the injury worse. Why should golf, or specifically Michelle Wie, be any different? Wie injured her wrist in early February whilst jogging (If that’s possible) and despite the healing process being relatively fast, her performances have suggested that her comeback was premature. Wie’s results since her injury have not reflected the $10m investment made by Nike and Sony. Yet she still pulls in the crowds. Her participation in men’s PGA tour events has been widely criticised as she has failed to make the cut in any of them. She has not yet won a LPGA tour event either. The view amongst the golfing world is that she should prove herself amongst the women before trying her luck against the men. And rightly so. Five weeks ago, Wie withdrew from the Ginn Tribute with two holes to play. The LPGA Tour has a rule that a player shall lose their playing privileges for the year should they shoot 88 or higher. For Wie, the required task of finishing one-over par for her last two holes to keep her LPGA Tour membership this year was apparently all too daunting and prompted her withdrawal. Wie isolated her injured wrist as the culprit. But it begs the question: Why was she playing in the first place? This week, Wie was playing in the second round of the US Women’s Open at Pine Needles. Once again her injury forced her to retire on 17-over par at her 10th hole in the second round. Twelve year-old amateur Alexis Thompson was already in the clubhouse on 16 over; an impressive score for one so young. A slightly cynical but plausible reason for her withdrawal was that Wie may not have wanted to finish below the 12-year old and withdrew to save embarrassment. But Wie maintains that it was her wrist that was the deciding factor. 'Shell's seen better days' "I definitely have to re-evaluate," said Wie. "I don't want this to happen again. Sometimes you just have to take a step back to make a step forward.'' But Wie’s problem is that people expect so much more from her. Whether that is her own doing or that of her sponsors is another matter, She has been constantly in the spotlight of women’s golf since her arrival on the scene two years ago and now people are beginning to wonder whether it is justified."
