Hi ya WieNation...wowWie...what a roller coaster day....a few unforced errors...but a ton of good golf by Wiesy....the wind is really a BIG problem...I watched a few of Wiesy's drive START of Strong and Straight...then at the Apex of her trajectory, with my Binoculars, I see the wind just completely change the course of the shot...Wiesy's Irons are not getting too affected by the wind, but her drives are...and so is her putting....if you have a long downhill or short downhill putt...it is just TAP and PRAY...there are leaves on the green that are just blowing around, so you know that it is affecting the putts also...let me tell you about the greens at KoOlina golf course...there are slopes all over and in all kinds of direction....Wiesy's BEST putt of the tournament can on hole #2 today...she had about a 30 footer downhill, but not a simple downhill because she had to DIE her putt at the edge of a different ridge that was going MORE Downhill...I thought for sure that no matter what, her ball was destined to go off the green after the 2nd ridge...but Wiesy died her putt right at the very top edge of the 2nd ridge and her ball rolled ever so slowly to about ONE inch on the side edge of the hole...what a terrific putt...in fact I give Wiesy an ABOVE average score on Putting...also an above average Driving day...only TWO errant drives all day...on into the water and one into the bunker on #17
all in all her one over par is consistent with what everyone had to struggle with...she starts off the day in 8th...and she starts tomorrow in 8th...folks, Wiesy will NOT win this tournament, but she is showing me TOUGHNESS and GRIT...Wiesy is an Excellent golfer....she could have easily been a lot more under par...a TON of her putts are just BARELY skinning the hole or needing one more revolution...I am super proud of the Kid...I am MORE convinced that all of WieNation has made an excellent choice in supporting Wiesy...she is Indeed a class act and she is giving all of us 120%...way to go Wiesy....watching Wie Golf is pretty darn exciting...her roller coaster scores shows that she is being very aggressive at the holes...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...but that doesn't stop Wiesy from playing aggressive golf....anyway...see ya all and Aloha
