Could anybody live up to her hype?
Dude is she even old enough to drive a car yet? She's a little girl who can play golf better than most men on the planet. She has top 10'd and 5'd in several women's Majors (Majors!) and she ain't even old enough to vote is she?
What do people want her to do? Have bullet proof bracelts, be able to fly and have super human strenght?
She could be a freakin' high school cheerleader trying not to get knocked up on Friday night after the game. Some people have hype and some people have HYPE. Leave her alone.

Yeah, what the hell are you expecting from her? When ever I see her playing on LPGA she always seems to be up there contending on sunday afternoon! ALL THE TIME!
And then she doesent play a golf tournament for like 4 weeks but when she does they expect her to make the cut in the european omega masters (MENS EUROPEAN TOUR), on a course she hasent played before!

she has not even played a full schedule but yet she is a bust, even though she has doen well in many tournaments? when she can settle in to the week in week out schedule, she will have the ability to focus because she wont have 4 weeks off to worry about how she will play in the next tourney. From what she has shown so far, when she gets the chance to be in the groove of things, she may end up dominating. Especially after she gets a couple of wins

It is silly to use her age as an excuse..... there are 14 year old girls playing professional tennis(a real sport) and succeeding. I think that the Big Wiesy is a big let down.
She needs to win. Golf is the only "sport" (lol at that label) where success can be determined by not winning.... I'm tired of her getting a free ride to the big show, she hasn't earned anything...
No Masters, No Ryder Cup and definitely there is no chance in hell that she will ever be a member of the PGA tour.
If you can't beat the 230yd driving ball polishers on the LPGA how the hell are you going to play with Tiger and Vijay...

Bah give her a break....
"There are people dominating all over the place."
(One time I rode a bike fast)
She'll win.....give the girl a break. She's only been at it for a year or w/e....sure she coulda won by now.....but hell.....it's not like she's pressed for time lol......
It takes a lot to play competitive golf at the highest level....she's gaining experience.
I really think you guys need to give her a break.
I can see ppl being pissed at her taking spots etc...and I guess that is a legitimate beef really.....but you gotta think a lot of ppl are bitter....(kinda like how I want Tiger to LOSE...at least once in a while)

Charming. She has tried to EARN her way into the U.S. Open and the Masters via the Mid Am. I reckon if Hef invited YOU to the Playboy Crizzo you'd pass because you hadn't "EARNED" it.
You got a little girl living a dream and your pissin' in her orange juice. Tiger joined the Tour when he was what 20 or 21? Let's see where she's at then . . .
Bet she wins two Majors next year . . . she'll still suck though.

No one expects her to make the cut... She's there to draw a crowd. She has officially become a "bar girl" like in all of those skanky bars I visited when I was in SE Asia... She's there to get the party started. WOOT!?
If she makes a cut that is a bonus...
It's silly that golf needs a 16 year old girl to draw a crowd when the big 2 aren't playing...

Yeah but is an LPGA major really a major???
OT- Does anyone really consider the PGA to be a real major??? I guess the people that win it do......

Come on man . . . she can help that she was born without a unit.
Dude if this chick listened or was drawn in by the poison that you and other people are spewing out . . . she would be what she is. That maybe her biggest success not being limited boy OTHER PEOPLE's garbage..
Is any Major a MAJOR? You are the one that said golf ain't a real sport. So I guess Tiger should hang up the sticks and get signed up for the next Ultimate Fighting deal.

Watching great talent, listening to great music, looking at great art, hearing the water splash on the shore -- there are many rather transcendent experiences in life of various magnitude and import. "This is the glory of God: a man fully alive!"
Newton and Mozart and Shakespeare and Michaelangelo are a few of the great human masterpieces. On a smaller level we have musical talent of teenagers the level of some of the world's greatest musicians. On a lesser level than that but still towering over us mortals, we have Annika, Michelle, and Daly in golf, Sagan and others in astronomy and physics, AND THEN WE HAVE ORDINARY DAMN GOOD GRAMMAR SCHOOL TEACHERS who love their charges and teach well. Finally in the pecking order is the quiet janitor lady who comes into the offices at night and leaves the place spotless and ready for the morning crew. ALL ARE THE GLORY OF GOD in various manifestations.
Pick your pudding.

How do you compare an unsuccessful person with talent to successful people...
Yeah Golf is not a sport... Tiger happens to be a great athlete that plays a game called golf.
Only the out of shape, the weak and the wimpy think of golf as a sport.
Now if I could tackle Tiger to make him duff......

if golf is not a sport then what is? what is a sport anyways, something that requires physical activity? Golf requires the most complicated physical activity known to man kind. Tell me of a sport that has a more complicated physical activity? Is ski jumping a sport, does not really take endurance because you leave the jump and are on the ground in about 4 seconds, did not really take endurance, what about big fat first basemens whose job is to stand on first and catch a ball thrown to them. Then four times a night go stand up to the plate and try and swing a ball then jog 90 feet. So maybe in baseball the most sporty of athletes are the pitchers and catchers, the rest are debateable. drag racing, just push the gas peddel for six seconds, bobsledding? Football, the fatter you are the more you stand in one place and just lean on another person, do you think the center does much moving? If some of those football players did not play football, what else would they be doing, playing soccer where you run up and down the field for 90 minutes

Have you ever played football and not 2 hand tackle with wimpy wimps. You obvious don't know how agile most lineman have to be to play pro ball. Do you think that John Daly and the Walrus are more athletic than 300lb'er Warren Sapp??
Golf is wimpy.
I think that tennis is the most difficult non-team sport excluding MMA style fighting events.
