Leadbetter rips Wie's family
David Leadbetter, Michelle Wie's coach, on Wie's playing strategy that has included playing PGA Tour events: "It's a shock to me and to her agents that this is happening. I don't think the family is making the right choice. There's definitely more to lose than to gain. I've put too much time and effort into Michelle to be able to sit by and watch this happening without saying something. If she doesn't stick to doing what's sensible, we could see one of the greatest potential talents the game has ever known going to waste."

Well, duh! Isn't that what everybody else (outside of people named Wie) have been saying for years?
That's the thing about "potential": Tiger doesn't have any "potential"; he has "results". Wie hasn't shown that she's anything more than a slightly-above-average female pro, at best. And, considering her ranking is about 300 and she's about to lose her tour card...I was being overly generous.

Better revise the first sentence to read "David Leadbetter, Michelle Wie's former coach, . . ."

Wie's gameplan should be very simple.
Win something, anything. An LPGA tour event would be best.
She's definitely destroying herself with her current approach, but . . . the money is good.

"....greatest potential the game has ever known..." Is he serious? I say she just looks good in a golf skirt.

She's from Hawaii, she's a female, looks good, and can be marketed. It's all about playing good and making money while you do it. Unfortunately she can't play the game as good as her handlers want and/or need her too. In turn the big paychecks are dwindling.

I think if she makes it thru Q-school she will be a star. She was 6th last week and was near the top when the scorecard fiasco happened. She is the only Korean I will watch. These Korean parents are brutal. Read some of the stories about what Anthony Kim went thru with his dad.

Why is he just telling us this now? Where has he been all this time while Michelle was playing PGA matches? People have been saying this for years now. Doesn't a coach have any say anymore? And wasn't it HIS responsibility to get her ready for each tournament?

If Michelle Wie wants to get better, the first thing she should do is get rid of David Leadpoison and go back to Gary Gilchrist, her original instructor. Ask Leadpoison what he has done to Ty Tryon's career. Leadpoison as he is affectionately referred to by professional players in the Orlando area and throughout the mini tours is just plain AWFUL. Leadpoison is a FRAUD.
