    any bets on the over-under for her first playboy spread? (crass, i know, but not unrealistic)
    Ohhh, brah, don't go there. Remember, she's not even 16 yet!

      i know, i know...hence the "over-under" qualification...hell, she's been glamorized all over the globe...it just seems like a logical question begging an extrapolated answer...i've got more keiki nieces than i can count, so i certainly didn't mean to sound perverted...my apologies...

      but the question remains...

        Heck, she could get a job hosting any and/or all tournaments or get on the infocommercial circut or sell golf clothing on Home Shopping Network! Heck, I'd watch! I love golf (so does hubby) and we love watching her golf!

          WSKO (The Score) 790, a local sports talk radio station in Providence, has been advertising advance ticket sales for the 2006 US Women's Open, which will be held in July '06, at the Newport (RI) Country Club. The ad makes mention of some of the better-known female golfers on the LPGA tour who are expected to compete in Newport...perhaps a dozen names are read-off during the commercial. I'm just curious as to how long it will take the radio station to amend the ad and include "Michelle Wie" in the list of golfers expected to compete.

          I remember the radio station interviewed the president of the Newport Country Club about the upcoming open, maybe two months ago, and I'm estimating that 75% of the conversation revolved around Michelle Wie. You could tell that this guy was chomping at the bit, hoping and praying that Michelle would go pro or get an exemption to play at the open in 2006.

          I'm guessing that there is going to be a big-time increase in sales now that Michelle is going pro, with ticket buyers betting that she's going to play the most prestegious event on the LPGA.

              That's no drawl -- it's her braces and retainer!

              That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                I think Michelle Wie better watch out on those rainy golf days. Was it Lee Travino who got struck twice by lightning on the golf course? With all that metal in her mouth I wonder if she picks up any good radio stations?

                  Yes, except that Kournikova has never actually won a major. Serena and Michelle, though -- they have the talent to back up their looks.

                  I'm amazed at how poised this 15-year-old kid is. I look forward to watching her evolve as a player and, yes, as a woman. Props to her for donating her first half-mil to Katrina victims.

                        Rain isn't bad....we've played in rain....and snow with ice on the ground! It's when ya start to hear the thunder...then ya have to be careful and most likely take a raincheck.

                          And don't run under a tree to get out of the rain if you hear that thunder...THAT's the dangerous part...getting zapped by the lightning. "Toasted on the 9th hole".

                            The Mayor (or Gov') should hold another "No Scade 'Em, Go Get 'Em" celebration for her, like the parade that was held for our Ewa Beach Little League Champs.

                            That would be way cool.
