Stacy, Ms.Bivens is too busy defending/propping up her honey-commish spot to look at cleaning up a loose end ( if that's what it is).

Professional and Official people employed by the LPGA not volunteers, should have been manning-womaning? those premises. I find it laughable that the "Committe" was being represnted by volunteers with obviously no better knowledge of the rules than MW.

Here is the letter she sent to everyone but the blogosphere.

I found it rather humorous.
Aside from all the rhetoric that is printed here ( and other places), the LPGA just plain looked foolish for all the blunders that happened before they decideded to DQ Wie.

I figure that if they didn't catch the booboo before tee time the next morning, it should no longer be an issue. The PGA never would have even let on that they screwed up. It would just be business as usualy the following day, and far more favorable publicity for them.

The powers that be should amend the rule if the PGA already has done so.

To New Zealand Golfer, I suffer from the same course management issues and it costs me strokes every round.

If only I knew how to play a sensible round of golf using the right clubs when needed. To often do I pull out the driver when I should be playing the safe iron shot

The "designated score card signing area" is strictly an LPGA jewel. The men can leave the tent or trailer without signing their card, but then remember and return to sign. Witters should be fired!

Actually, Michelle's true career is to be an engineer in Tokyo since she is studying calculus and Japanese at Stanford. It seems that Michelle has no problem adding up her score but can not remember to sign her card.

"If it's there to be made, I'm sure she will make it. " I meant errors.

As usual, Alex is up to his arse in dumb things to say but it makes for amusing reading.

As far as Michelle is concerned, i'd be willing to bet she won't make that mistake again. No guarentees though for other errors. Unlike Alex, I don't see a case of deceit in every move MW makes. I'm not even sure it's a case of immaturity. She makes a good case for ditzy though. All apologies to the blondes of the world, but MW fits the profile.

If it's there to be made, I'm sure she will make it.
