not so wiesy


a few weeks ago my brother and i were discussing the beauty of the concept of schadenfreude. if you don't know, schadenfreude is a german based word defined as: pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. today, count me in.

i am not at all a fan of michelle wie. today, in her most recent attempt to make the cut in a men's tour event; she blew up to the tune of 6 over.

so as to not let this degenerate into a pedantic rambling; let me simply say, "how's about you win something -anything- before you start blowing off your mouth about playing in the men's u.s. open or the masters. playing on the big-boys tour is fun and all that; but why don't you try to experience the sensation of winning on the women's tour before getting in over your head with far superior talent. right now, you are merely the golf equivalent of anna kournikova...just less hot."

some say that she is more than welcome to play on the tour because she attracts so much attention on tour and sells alot of tickets. this is definitely true; but, courtney love teeing it up would get alot of attention too, and i don't see anyone giving her any exemptions. i guess they are equally qualified...neither one has ever won a professional event.

i realize this is a 16 year-old girl i'm writing about, so some part of me is ashamed for feeling so much animosity towards a kid i don't know; but, i hope she blows up tommorrow too.
