What a travesty, the agent and LPGA Staff manipulating the rules, Michelle Wie left without HER integrity. What are they teaching this young kid, rules don't apply and we'll make up something to get you out of these (rule 88) consequences.

Scott-


It's her "PSYCHE" they are destroying out of their own greed.

Sorry, but I just don't see the big deal. Would anyone else cognizant of the rule NOT do the same thing? And if the Tour was involved in helping her make the decision, again, who cares. It's a business. They have as much interest in keeping her around as she has in staying around. It's partly because of people like her that the rest of the players on tour can cash they checks that they do.

This isn't a criminal trial. It's not life and death. It's a golf tournament, run by a private entity. They enforce the rules as they see fit.

Seitz, for the record, were those tongue-in-cheek or head-up-bum remarks?

But aren't the rules of golf supposed to be what separates golf, and golfers, from sports where cheating, if not condoned, is winked at? If rules aren't enforced, golf is professional wrestling. Entertainment, with no moral centre.

This 'Rule of 88' isn't a Rule of Golf; it's an LPGA
policy.

And, clearly, the LPGA doesn't think enough of
its own policy to let the chips fall where they
may with regards to a player who draws viewers.
