Cheesy Michelle Wie updates at TheGolfChannel.com
If you’re dying to know the details of Michelle Wie’s every shot, thegolfchannel.com is doing constant updates of the qualifying at Canoe Brook.
Through the first seven holes, the updates have already included the descriptions “pipes drive down middle” and “driver center cut.”
As far as I’m concerned, golf would be better off sans these two statements.
The irony of these updates is in that thegolfchannel.com uses “catchy” and “interesting” descriptions of Wie’s tee shots, but mundane and colorless descriptions of the putts she has missed. The fact is that she can “pipe” as many drives as she wants, but right now it looks like her putter will keep her out of the U.S. Open. This is a perfect example of the game today; distance is great, but it is hugely overrated when compared to the importance of making a few putts disappear. (See Fred Couples-Masters 2006).
I hope Wie can start drilling some home.
***Any interesting and cheesy ways to describe putts will be appreciated.

Any company advertising here is as ignorant and insane as the drivel producing bloggers who spew their sewage on this site.
Who is slamming Michelle Wie? I hope she makes it.
Try http://www.golfweb.com/tournaments/usopen/story/9480303 instead.
Bubbles gooses another 5-footer; Bubbles left the head cover on that time; Bubbles must have been playing for drawback on that nuked lag, and, last but not least, Bubbles is still away.
I suppose the sublime, esoteric principle here is -- let's see how many can wrap their minds around this -- if you could get that good, you'd be that good!
Keep going Alex/george/Judge nails, split presonalities like you have going for you would make a good movie. Oh heck, wait, that's all ready been done..
Hey, Eve, want to go play with alex, maybe they can make a movie about the both of you. or is it all six or eight or ten or...
Ms Wie may not be winning yet at the tender age of 16 but I'd say she's doing quite well with the rest of her life. After all, she's making $9 million and change more per year than you all will make in your life time. LOLOL
progress.
It is with some dissapointment that I see you spending countless hours on
the likes of tiger. His attitude toward The Golf Channel and the FedEx Cup
is that he is not interested. We had to watch the whole week between
Christmas and New Years of you plugging tiger shots and when it came to him
supporting the Golf Channels comming out tournament (The Mercedes) he told
you to put it where the sun don't shine.
There are lots of great golfers out there, so lets see some attention towards
the guys who are still interested in the fans and the game and not on their
own ego's. You can put Phil in that catagory as well.
