After reading a couple more articles on Wie, the girl does have more of my sympathy than I was initally prepared to give her.
She's still an immature, childish kid, but if you read her background, you can understand why. If your parents don't teach you manners and class...where are you going to learn them from?
Wie thinks better days are ahead after disastrous '07
And I doubt if her parents are teaching her any manners. Indeed, it looks like her parents won't let her get away from them:
"Wie is rarely seen without her parents. At the Samsung, Bo sat a foot away from a pyramid of golf balls on the range while her daughter practiced. B.J., who caddied, was never far away all week. Even while she attends Stanford her parents aren't far away; they are renting a house nearby. Neither parent would comment for this story. But Gilchrist, who coached Wie for two years when he worked for her current coach, David Leadbetter, says she needs to break away."
She is living in a dorm room...but she probably visits her parents every day to bring her laundry... oh..wait..it's only guys who do that!
Anyway, here's hoping Wie can get her act together, and go back on tour as a more mature individual and win some tournaments and be a credit to the women's game.
