The Unbelievable Moment That Shocked Everyone

[@mr555harv]

My son was a golf prodigy also. At TPI they graph golf maturity versus emotional maturity. The parent must assess the emotional maturity before any association with money or professionalism. Michelle just needs to be a young girl, and meet others like her. Until she develops emotional maturity she needed to stay away from competing with older professionals. Her parents screwed up big time. They needed to protect her. The movie about Serena Williams illustrates a Dad who knew that his first job was to protect his daughter until she was mature enough to handle the pressures of professional competition.

[@fore-golf]

It's crucial for young athletes to have a healthy balance of maturity and skill development before entering the professional scene.

[@Catpain3311]

Wow, your son was a really a golf prodigy? I don’t think so. He shoots low 100’s. LOL

[@Gomoboo]

I'm not a golfer, but I was impressed by her ability to hit the ball so far. The few times I did watch her play was that her weakness was her weak putting skills.

[@fore-golf]

It's interesting how powerful drives can sometimes overshadow putting skills. Golf really is a game of contrasts, isn't it?

[@dennislurvey3235]

Because she is a control freak and a perfectionist, another symptom is over thinking. It's impossible to feel a put when you can't stop overthinking. He putting grip, bending so far over the ball is over controlling.

[@welbyroberto6581]

Look at Lydia Ko of New Zealand, she peaked 12 years ago and is up and down now. But Lydia seems stable emotionally and humble

[@fore-golf]

It's true, Lydia Ko has had quite the journey in her career, but her emotional stability and humility are what truly set her apart.

[@robertcooper7157]

She made ladies golf exciting and unfortunately, the media were as cruel to her than anybody.

[@fore-golf]

Thank you for recognizing her talent and the challenges she faced.

[@jonathanLToronto]

I learned from my years of experience that golf is about being head strong. Long drive is only an advantage. Too many Asian golfers from that era thought good swing is what it all counts. Wie being one of them.

[@fore-golf]

Ah, the age-old battle between swing and smarts! It’s like having a Ferrari but forgetting to put gas in it!

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

She had and continues to have a great career. Expectations and predictions mean nothing.

[@fore-golf]

Expectations and predictions are like the weather forecast - always changing!

[@fore-golf]

It's always good to hear different perspectives on athletes and their achievements.

[@onlythaclonessir2525]

only 0.5 percent of Mexicans want her to stop.

[@wonton120]

It's so sad and pity we lose her talent. She's the victim of media and early success.

[@fore-golf]

It is indeed unfortunate when talent is overshadowed by external pressures.

[@mikeleach4201]

Ledbetter ruined many promising golfers.

[@fore-golf]

It's unfortunate when that happens in the world of golf.

[@dennislurvey3235]

I saw Wei several times in person, she was a snob, arrogant. I believe she failed because she has undiagnosed OCD or Obsessive compulsive personality. Her obsession with perfection got in her way and the ways she contorted her body to attain perfection killed her career. It runs in families as it runs in mine. It can hide till a person is in their teens or early 20's, so she had early success before the genetics took ahold. She is not the only player with this, Lexi does and it killed her career as well. I watched her throw whole tournaments away from hitting off her right foot, and no one brought it up, when they did she refused to change it. One of the symptoms is refusal to change, rejection of being wrong about anything.

[@fore-golf]

Thank you for sharing your insights on Wei and your perspective on the impact of OCD on her career.

[@rajsekhar5795]

The heights a pro sportsman go, is not just the game. It is sustaining the failures and nurturing the wounds, while getting ready for next. Each event brings a change. It should be used to move up. What happened to Tiger. Who knows. He fell hard. Still recovering. Wie has a lesson here. Make all weaknesses irrelevant. She may still do it. Promising years ahead. For her.

[@HappiBlueberri]

Liar. I knew her personally and she is a sweetheart of a person.

[@dennislurvey3235]

@@HappiBlueberri I'm sure off the course she was different. But I stand by what I said.

[@jonathanLToronto]

Tiger parenting would take a toll on a person's mental health. Her fault or no be that as it may. Exposure to media at such a young age is no good. Another example in other sports, Freddi Adu in US soccer. This guy was said to be the next Pele but he ended up being a journeyman in professional sport almost playing for different team every season and he won no trophy unlike Wie.

[@michaelsilva342]

I always loved her. A great talent

[@fore-golf]

Great minds think alike! She truly is a gem in the world of talent.

[@waimeaguyz9074]

People used her talent and her at a very young age. I hope she's successful now.

[@fore-golf]

It's sad when people exploit talent at a young age. Let's hope she's thriving now.

[@donaldlee1224]

She along with Woods are household names. Its hard to get enthustiac about LPGA now, no one really stands out,, (maybe Nellie, for now). Womens golf needs Michelle to be put up on pedestal, not pushed aside for no names.

[@fore-golf]

It's true that household names like Woods and Wie bring a lot of excitement to the sport. Let's hope more players emerge to keep the LPGA engaging!

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Nonsense

[@vlo6097]

One thing she forgot was just to have fun that's why everything went wrong. When you enjoy what you are doing things will come naturally.

[@fore-golf]

Absolutely, having fun and enjoying the process is so important in any endeavor!

[@altonchow2294]

It’s all the dad’s fault from what I remember. He should have protected her and nurtured vs pushing her to run before she could walk.

[@fore-golf]

It's interesting how parental influences shape our experiences. It's a reminder that nurturing is just as important as pushing for growth.

[@Coolrobb]

Gee, like you have any clue.

[@willgates8383]

She was too commercialized, never won anything but was trying to be the 1st to qualify on the mens tour tournament …all gimmicks no substance !!!!

[@fore-golf]

It's true that commercial success doesn't always equate to on-field victories. It will be interesting to see how her journey unfolds in the men's tour!

[@garyb2392]

I never understood why she bothered to play against men! Before dominating the LPGA. I still remember Anaka Sorantam because she was so dominant, Michele who ? What a waste…I blame her greedy, ridiculous parents.

[@fore-golf]

Ah, the age-old debate of competition! Some say it's about the challenge, others say it's about the trophies. Guess Anaka just wanted to collect both!

[@lighthousewc1]

[@welbyroberto6581]

Her agent or whoever put her in men's event 13 times and only made the cut once. That's too arrogant for that

[@fore-golf]

It's definitely a tough situation! Sometimes agents make bold choices, but hopefully, it leads to better opportunities in the future.

[@steveleee5499]

She was warned when she was young. Play and win in woman’s golf first. Nope… she didnt listen

[@fore-golf]

It's interesting how life lessons can come full circle! Sometimes we all have to learn things the hard way.

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

If dad was going to manage, he should have managed health professionals for her and keep her off endorsements and the pressure so that she should would be setup for long term success.

[@fore-golf]

You raise a valid point! It's crucial for any talent to have the right support system in place, especially when it comes to mental and physical health.

[@Allen-southplainsgolfguy]

"I belong on the PGA tour, I belong on the LPGA. I belong on both". Quote from her that soured many would be fans. You skipped that in your video.

[@fore-golf]

Sounds like she's aiming for the ultimate golfing challenge! PGA, LPGA, and why not throw in a few more acronyms for good measure?

[@waiyee4410]

Each player has different body built and swing pattern! Having somebody else telling you what to do in swing is the WORST thing that can happen to a golf professional, even the BEST Tiger Woods! That’s why Tiger has some many surgeries on his body. Nobody can decide how a player should swing in golf! That should be illegal, in professional golf! If he/ she could not swing well, he/she could not be a professional golfer, period! What needs to be done is only STRENGTH training and putting skill. Look at so many top notch pro golfers become just a golfer because someone else told them to change the golf SWING. Just simply STUPID to do that!

[@fore-golf]

Totally agree with you, man. Each golfer has their own unique style and technique!
