She's already shown that she has the game to compete at the highest levels of golf. <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/186/1269/50/Wie%20Crying01.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/186/1269/320/Wie%20Crying01.jpg" align="right" border="0" /></a>She just has to toughen up and <a href="http://www.thegolfchannel.com/15100/15200?" rel="nofollow">stop crying after she plays below her expectations</a>. Granted, she's only 15-years-old, but she needs that mental and emotional toughness to win in golf. It'll be interesting to follow her development, but if I hear or read another "cute" pun of her last name, I'm gonna go ballistic. Here's just a small sampling of the headlines that I'm talking about:<ul><li><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20050115/SONY15/TPSports/Other" rel="nofollow">"Teen's round a Wie bit short"</a></li> <li><a href="http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2005/01/12/sports0252EST0165.DTL" rel="nofollow">"Big Easy Shares Billing with Big Wiesy"</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.golfdigest.com/newsandtour/index.ssf?/newsandtour/gw20040123hawkins.html" rel="nofollow">"Wie-Markable"</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.suntimes.com/output/golf/cst-spt-wie12.html" rel="nofollow">"Should Wie stay or should Wie pro?"</a></li> <li>"Wie-kend Off"</li> </ul> These guys are a barrel of laughs, aren't they? This stuff is digestable for the first couple of times, but this has been going on for over a year now. It's as overplayed as "shizzle my nizzle." It's like these writers just click on the "search and replace" function in their word processor and replace any hard "e" sound with "Wie." It may get so bad that wie'll all be doing this when wie write. Wiediculous, just like this golf blog.Golf Grouchnoreply@blogger.com6
