| Michelle Wie: Not fit to play with the men. Or the women either. |

Michelle Wie has been receiving criticism lately from her female colleagues. Again. The criticism? She sucks. Wie has decided she'd rather play with the boys, even though she's not even good enough to play with the girls. By opting to play in a men's tournament instead of qualifying for the Women's British Open, Wie has cemented her place in Anna Kournakova-like irrelevancy to her sport. With smaller tits. Anika Sorenstam, who in 2003 was the first woman in 58 years to play with the boys and has 73 career titles, had this to say: "We have a major this week and, if you can't qualify for a major, I don't see any reason why you should play with the men." Fellow golfer Helen Alfredsson blames Wie's parents. "I feel sad for her and for the guidance that she seems not to have in the right direction." she said to BBC. But while it has become trendy to blame creepily overbearing parents for their celebrity kids' failures (David Archuletta, anyone?), at 18, Wie is more than capable of making her own bad choices. And her recent disqualification for forgetting to sign her scorecard shows that she needs to review the basics of her sport before she can even think about competing successfully at a pro level. It seems that Wie, who has no professional wins, should concentrate on learning to play the game properly before trying to break gender barriers. Not sucking would be a great place to start.
