Preview Kia Classic 2012

[bobawiefan]

Hello Wie Nation:

Here are Michelle’s results from 2010 and 2011..
2010 Mar 25-28...KIA Classic by J Golf…La Costa Resort and spa
Hee Kyung Seo 70-67-69-70=276.. –12...
Michelle Wie… 72-67-73-72=284...-4.…T6

2011 Mar 24-27...KIA Classic...... Pacific Palms Resort, City of Industry, Calif..
72 Holes…Par 73.….6,716 yds..
Sandra Gal 67-68-70-71=276.… –16...
Michelle Wie...68-75-71-70=284.…..-8...T7

In 2010, Michelle was 8 strokes back of the winner Hee Kyung Seo, and Michelle finished tied for 6th with a minus 4...
In 2011, Michelle was 8 strokes back of the winner Sandra Gal, and Michelle finished tied for 7th with a minus 8...

But, Wie Nation, the minus 4 and the minus 8 was recorded before Michelle traveled to the far East and the rising temperatures of 100 degree plus heat….. the rising bogey temperature of a plus 22.…and the rising temperature of a class failure (just guessing) pressure cooker that erupted with Michelle calling herself (just guessing) a “######### Idiot”
Yes, Wie Nation, now we can understand why Michelle had to go to the “Steam Room”…Michelle had to go to the “Steam Room” to cool off…And we can see from the alluring look in Michelle’s eyes from the “Steam Room” that she was thinking of all the birdies she was going to shoot at the 2012 Kia Classic Skeet tournament….LoL ;D ;D ;D


The Education Of Michelle Wie
“Inevitably, her two worlds intersected. Sometimes, during tournaments in distant lands, Wie awoke at 3 a.m. to take a midterm. She often brought her laptop on trips and wrote papers late at night. The perpetual balancing act and travel schedule occasionally left her exhausted, but she wanted a Stanford degree.”

“Right now, I feel like I need to prove to myself and other people that I can do great things," Wie says. "I want people to keep noticing me for what I am doing, not what I have done."
She's fiercely proud, and understandably so, of what she will be doing June 17--returning to Stanford for commencement ceremonies. The question is, will she have the same fierce pride about what she does after that?”

Of note…this is the same article posted by Wiesyfan in “What they’re saying” the article is three pages….I made the mistake of reading only the first page…and the article is now posted in Yahoo Sports…
Also:
Please note for those who are entering BoolaBoss’s contest…be aware that while Michelle played the La Costa Resort and spa in 2010, the golf course has since been updated and renovated…It’s not exactly the same course…..

Sorry to say…I will not be at the Kia Classic…I have health issues that prevents me from traveling…But, it does not prohibit me from traveling on the wings of my imagination…As for the stats…I gather all the information I can and then read in between the lines…and I think… that may be the reason why I so easily get confused…But it’s fun and I love it…

And speaking of confusion…this is the link to La Costa Resort & SPA.”Golf”

Quotes from the
SOUTH COURSE

As a part of a major $10 million course renovation program, four holes (Nos. 1, 9, 10 and 18) of the historic Dick Wilson-designed South Course at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad have been newly re-designed. Home of the [glow=red,2,300]2012 LPGA Kia Classic,[/glow] the South Course routing is unchanged from its classic design, with slight modifications throughout, including significant alterations to the fairway contours, combined with a modernized drainage system for sustainability,

And then we got this:

CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE
Under Events and Tournaments
Raise the bar to legendary heights by bringing your next golf event or tournament to the historic La Costa Resort and Spa, featuring the completely re-designed, world-class Champions Course, formerly the North Course, and home of the 2012 LPGA Kia Classic.
Does anybody know which course Michelle will be playing on, and from which tees?

See my confusion between BOLD and GLOW ;D ;D ;D
Anyway:

Got to love wie golf

Don't know how to get the above URL into a link.........but it is a birds eye view of the course.............and the houses that are right next to every hole........the view can be moved around so you can see the whole course..........only bad thing is you don't know what hole you are looking at.........not many trees.........but it looks like a lot of water..........on another front........I see the bookies in England have Michelle listed at 55-1 to win......the only problem is they do not take bets from Americans.......It looks like I will have to ring my brother-in-law in Ireland to get a bet on Michelle........and they do give 1/4 the odds for a place bet.......you have to finish in the top 5...........We will be looking forward to your stats from the LPGA Bob...........and they WILL be much better than that ZERO you got from the Asian swing.........
EDIT......It does show up.........just click on birds eye and move to the right and you will find the course.......

Hello Wie Nation:

A Hah...Found it:
In 2011, the tournament moved north on I-5 due to renovations at La Costa. The 2012 edition of the Kia Classic will be played on the South Course at La Costa Resort and Spa.
