Wie (is) the champion.. my friendsss

Now give us a good reason why we shouldn't love Michelle Wie... and if you don't know her by now..her story unfolds: *deep breaths*

(Story courtesy of http://www.missmichellewie.com, the ones in pink and bold are my thoughts and sentiments *winks*)

Michelle Wie started golfing at a little over four years old in her home state of Hawaii. Her father, B.J. Wie, started teaching her. By the time she was 11, which is the exact right age for a girl to start falling in love.. in Wie's case - golf, Michelle was regularly winning most of the amateur tournaments she played in and was even playing better than most men. I believe she can outwit all the men in Brunei in a single swing...

She decide she wanted to become a pro-golfer after watching Tiger Woods play. Wie has pictures of Tiger all over her bedroom and also hopes to go to Stanford University, just like Tiger did. Even I wanted to become a pro-golfer after watching Tiger Woods.. no other good-looking golfers come close... Lucky me, I don't have pictures of Tiger posted in my bedroom, unlucky enough, at that age it was NKOTB..blaghhh.

Michelle Wie loves playing against the guys, so do I... hihihi, on the PGA tour but that's where her fascination for boys ends - for now. "I don't like boys," she says. "They're kind of annoying." ..my dear Wie, I was once like you but all that changed... I met my son... oh ya hahaha I met my husband first.. *ahaks* the men in my life..

On March 1, 2002, Wie, who is six-feet tall, no-kidding.. this lass can be the next top-model if she wants to, played in her first LPGA tour event. She failed to make the cut at the Takefuji Classic in Hawaii but still managed to turn some heads with her 280-yard drives and her understanding of the game. "I'm not disapppointed. I'm just happy to be here. There's free food and free drinks and nobody bothers you on the practice greens," said Michelle after shooting six strokes over par in the first two rounds. Thats it woman! Always always appeciate food.. see see I told you readers.. aint she the coolest!

In June, 2003, Michelle Wie became the youngest winner in the history of the Women's Amateur Public Links, with a 1-up victory over Virada Nirapathpongporn at Ocean Hammock. Hoorayy hooraayy

Michelle Wie became the youngest person, and just the fourth female, to play in a PGA tour event, when she teed off at the Sony Open on January 15, 2004. Wie missed the 36-hole cut by just one stroke, but finished with a higher score than 47 grown men! Hoorrayy again..

Michelle Wie didn't look at all out of place at the event, with her average drive being a whopping 271 yards. However, Wie was still a bit disappointed at not making the cut. "Just one more shot, and I would have made it," she said after finishing with birdies on two of the last three holes. "It's killing me now." Michelle Wie came close to making her first cut at a PGA event at the 2005 John Deere Classic - but had a late collapse in the second round to miss the cut by two strokes. Hang in there Wie.. I once said to myself.. "Just one more shop and I would have made it.. its killing me that I didn't buy that Shoe in Bangkok now" ..ohh we're so alike!

Would it be wrong If I say she's almost perfect? She looks good in her Nikes as well as those evening gowns.. she's tall, athletic and smart.. oh we sooo envy you Miss Wie.. all in all.. you are the epitome of the new-aged woman.. and to our distinguished men *ehem golfers* of DHS4skins .. here's to you (especially ED).. see we have our say on golf too... it has fashion, pretty ladies (& some pretty men), vibrant colours and publicity.. We love this game!
