Hello Wie Nation:

Ollie ollie oxen free
A message for Michelle Wie
The statue of limitations
Has expired on expectations

Ollie ollie oxen free
The time limit’s up you see
Poor golf…it used to be
Is not what we want to see

Ollie ollie oxen free
It’s been a long long time
So tired of standing in line
It’s A new era, so go and shine

Ollie ollie oxen free
Your free time out, it is done
So get on a winning streak, and
let’s have some fun

Ollie ollie oxen free
To poor golf, you are not bound
Your work, it must be done
It is time to wear your crown
Ollie ollie oxen free….


Michelle tees off with Natalie Gulbis and Ha-Neul Kim in about 20 minutes from tee # 1.…
I will be going to TV when TV comes on…I hope we get to see some Wie golf on TV…Especially, I would like to see her approach shots to the green…

Ok Wie Nation….

Let’s go Michelle Wie

WIE, Michelle…E…T21
GULBIS, Natalie…E…T21
KIM, Ha-Neul…E…T21

Up first:
Hole 1...Par 4...351yds.
A good opening hole, into a prevailing wind with a slight dogleg right. A well placed drive to the left center of the fairway provides an appropriate angle to the green.

Go michelle go

It appears that Natalie is no longer in the field. Michelle's group now includes Hannah Yuh.

[bobawiefan]

Well, it looks like Natalie has withdrawn…

Missed the fairway…fairways hit 0 of 1

Chipped…chip saves 1 of 1
One putt…putts/gir 0...total putts 1

Up next:
Hole 2...Par 4...390yds.
Slightly uphill par four with a demand for accuracy off the tee. A long tee shot across the grass mounding on the left will reward the player with a good angle to this expansive green. The second shot will play longer than it appears.

Go michelle go

Up next:
Hole 3...Par 3...147yds.
A picturesque three in a coastal valley setting. Demand for accuracy is critical with two streams flowing left and right into a pond fronting the green. Don't let the beauty of this hole distract you.

Up next:

A straightaway par four with a premium on accuracy off the tee. Driver not necessary with hazard along left side of fairway. The right side of green is shallow and well protected by bunkers.

Up next:
Hole 5...Par 5...543yds.
A lengthy par five uphill. Avoid large fairway bunker on right side. Position second shot to left side of fairway for the ideal approach. A well lofted shot to the green will be rewarded.

Up next:
Hole 6...Par 3...175yds.
This uphill par three will play one club longer. The green sits thirty feet above the tee, at the highest point on the course. Any weak shots will roll back off this steeply faced green.

Live scoring update on hole 5
D-bogey…+1...T68

Hannah…Par…+2...T90
Kim…Par…+2...T90

Hit the green…gir 4 of 6
Two putt…putts/gir 8...total putts 10
I’ll figure this out later…

Up next:
Hole 7...Par 4...393yds
This downhill par four requires a well placed tee shot down the left side. A carefully played second shot will provide a birdie opportunity.

Hannah…Par…+2...T90

Missed the green…gir 4 of 7
Chipped…chip saves 3 of 3
One putt…putts/gir 9...Total putts 11

Up next:
Hole 8...Par 5...523yds.
A heroic par five reachable in two, but water and bunkers around the green demand accuracy. To lay up, favor the right side of the sloping fairway to avoid water left. Less club is desired for proper lay up.
