Michelle Wie still going strong
When Michelle Wie graduated from Stanford, her friends expected her to do what a Stanford graduate do best.
But instead of following a career in banking, she opted to play golf fulltime. She is still going strong and her performance this year attests to a decision that changed Wie’s life.
Talking about the choices that she and her friends made, she said, “All my friends are currently in banking. Before, they didn't even care that I played”.
Wie started playing golf at an early age. She began competing in golf tournaments and gained experience that shaped her life and started her on her chosen career.
She was 13 years old when she first appeared in the 2003 US Women’ Open. This was a year to remember with a young Wie being caddied by her father.
Both the player and the caddie were inexperienced and made some mistakes that caused many players, particularly the old crones, to bash her performance and her attitude.
However, this did not deter Wie in the slightest. She moved ahead and managed to have a great career both as an amateur and as a professional.
Talking about this, Wie said in a recent comment, “For myself, I don't really pay attention to it. For me, I have my own expectations for myself and I want to fulfil that”.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that is required for survival in the brutal world of pro golf. Many young amateurs who turn pro, burnout because they cannot handle the pressures and the criticism that is a normal part of professional golf.
Michelle Wie has come a long way as a professional golfer. She has two wins to her credit and has posted an amazing thirty top 10 finishes. These numbers tell of a great career that will continue for many years.
Wie is just 22 years old and already she is the centre of one of the harshest debates in pro golf circuits. Her comments about PGA and her plans of playing in the men’s’ league have caused great controversy and has set the debate raging on various mediums.
