I don't really find that ironic actually - I'm sure everyone there is enjoying the golf, especially with Kane playing so well. However, if Wie had played in the event, we all know the media would be on that like stink on sh*t.

Do you really think the Media hypes her? I mean just because when she 'almost diesd' of heat exhaustion, they only showed about 15 minutes of the closed door to the medical tent and broke away from someone putting to show the ambulance arriving? Really, the Media hypes her? Have I ever mentioned that she still has not become a great golfer in my little mind?

As far as being measured by a different standard - she should be measured against other LPGA players, not other 16 year old girls. She gave up being 16 when she (BJ) decided to turn pro.

How can anyone play a game for a living without ever taking the time to at least read the rules? Heck if it were my living it would be a top priority to know them well since my living depends on it. A stroke can cost these players tens of thousands of dollars!
A rules official needs to know it by chapter and verse "Rule 12-4b covers this" but players knowing them "very well" should be mandatory to play as a pro. Could you get by not knowing the rules in any other sport?

Read the rules
She should have complete knowledge of the rules, I mean if she knows the rules she can argue/discuss rulings with officials and sometimes end up getting better decisions. Her approach is immature for a pro player but probably in line with her age. Does he need to run in front of her and look at every possible infraction and then ask if she knows the rule on it? Get a grip. How can the caddy save her if she refuses to immerse herself in her sport. Golf is more than looking pretty and swinging the clubs.
Here is a pointer, get her a caddy who can also help her with her hair, earings and outfits and that would free up time for her to read the rules.Lefty Lucas

I know every season in the CFL, some american players have problems with some of the rules, most likely because they did not completly read the difference between american football and canadian football. Pleading non-guilty because "I didn't know" will NEVER cut it, I know, I tried with the cop that pulled me over the other day...

All I can say about rules, scorecards etc is this
Remember Roberto De Vicenzo & Bob Goalby in the 1968 Masters? Roberto knew the rules too. Cost him a Green Jacket. "What a stupid I am" he said afterwards.
Miss Wie had better learn the rules, or at least have a vaque idea of them if she is going to play PRO GOLF for a living. She has been dinged twice for rules violations in the past 12 months.
Sorry, being SIXTEEN does not excuse her this time. If this is the reason the caddy was fired then he is far better off on someone elses bag anyways.My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
