Done so soon, it seems like the LPGA tour just got started and Michelle Wie just started to get on a, well, somewhat of a roll, minus the season ending with a poor finish at the Women’s British Open and Michelle Wie firing her Caddie Greg Johnston.
But all good things must end right? Well, maybe not end, but end for now, Michelle Wie must go back to school now at Punahou on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. She will return for her senior year at the highschool and not compete (as far as we know) in anymore of the tournaments remaining this year on the LPGA tour.
In an interview with local television news station KGMB9 in Honolulu, Hawaii Michelle wie had this to say about being put under a microscope and disected after every mistake, miss read putt, or poor choice of wardrobe.
“I actually enjoy it,” Wie told KGMB9 when she arrived at the Honolulu
International Airport Sunday. “If people aren’t talking about me, if
people aren’t arguing about what I should do or should not do, then the
problem relays there.”
Pretty good words for a 16 year old just trying to live up to all the hype brought on by her parents, agents, and endorsements. Although much of her career has been scrutinized, especially this past weeks firing of caddie Greg Johnston Michelle Wie has remained realatively calm and light hearted about the subject as is evident from her previous comments to the news station quoted above.
She will, however, have to start looking for a new caddie later this school semester and then try and firgure out her putting game. Although she has a cloud of controversy with the way her parents may or may not be handling her golf career, let’s remember she’s just a golfer and should be treated as such. Let’s just wait til she gets another off-season of practice in beautiful Hawaii.
