Why would the Koreans feel any need to be careful with the English language press? The previous Dong-A-Ilbo article that I sited was orginally written in Korean and only translated into English aferwards.

I checked the Korean Times and there were two pictures from the Evian, and one was a picture of Michelle Wie of the United States.

This seemed a bit much. Only two pictures and the one of Michelle Wie--but no mention of any Korean connection.

My guess. The Koreans are being careful not to make any claims that Michelle Wie is Korean in their English language press. To get the true view, we would need to read the Korean language press.

Jennie M, Right you are. Of which country are you a native and/or citizen? I can't see how that would cause you any harm. Of course, you may be a secret agent of a foreign power. Forget that last question.

Alex,

Uh... Alex? I think already told you to get yourself to a hospital. Do you have heat stroke?

I'll just pretend your previous weirdness did not happen.

I already told you as much as I'm going to tell you. I could tell you what my academic credentials are, but that would mean that those things actually matter here on a web forum.

Since you're a lawyer, you know if I'm legally living here in your country, it's rather unlikely that I'm uneducated. Is that why you want me to be an American?

It's kinda sad how you've demonstrated so much prejudice towards the working class. Do you think that someone who didn't go to college has less legitimacy when talking about golf than someone who has a PhD from an Ivy? I know quite a few academics who can't tell me the first thing about golf. Yet, I'm pretty sure you don't need a college degree to be a caddy for a top pro or to be a professional golfer.

Alex, what you and Stacy don't get is that bringing in "credentials" counts for very little on a blog, internet forum, etc. It's kind of a great meritocracy. People judge you based on what you say and how you say, nothing more.
