Alex Pappas as Japundit, a semi-regular read on my list, summarizes all the basic criticisms of Michelle Wie’s attempts at playing in PGA events in his post Golfing with the guys:

Michelle Wie, please stop embarrassing yourself by trying to play on the men’s tour… Ms. Wie characteristically went into denial mode and could not [...]

Yesterday, Michelle Wie’s group included Jeff Gove who admitted at first that he didn’t know she was playing through pain, yet…

“I saw she was hurting, but she never said anything. And she was walking real slow, which I thought was inconsiderate again because we’re trying to keep up. If we get on the clock again, [...]

WTF, Daddy Wie!

WTF!

I don’t care if Jason Day is the top amateur turned pro from Australia, but you keep those 18-year-olds away from Michelle off or on the golf course.

Hell, you probably do a good enough job scaring them “good” Punahou boys away at home, but when the game is on I don’t want any [...]

Strong field to greet Wie at Canoe Brook: “Among those already entered at Canoe Brook are Billy Andrade, Briny Baird, Ricky Barnes, Jonathan Byrd, Jose Coceres, Robert Damron, Bernhard Langer, Len Mattiace, Mark O’Meara, Tom Pernice, Brett Quigley, J.J. Henry, Kevin Stadler and Vaughn Taylor.”

Not all embracing Wie at qualifier: “Wie’s presence in men’s tour events and her attempt to gain entry to the U.S. Open has been met with skepticism from male pros around the world. Recently, European Tour member Jean Van de Velde said, ‘I have no objection to Michelle Wie or any other women playing in [...]

While we here in Hawaii watch Michelle Wie with the rest of the world, let it be known that residents here aren’t all unabashed cheerleaders for golf’s $10 million wondergirl.

Dan Seto, self-proclaimed Hawaiian Curmudgeon, offers this observation:

Wie may never reach the goal of making the cut in a men’s tournament (the last female to do [...]

From the comments section of WIEblog, Tony Lord offers this:

As a golf enthusiast, my only question of Ms. Wie and her handlers is: why doesn’t Michelle concentrate on making her mark on the LPGA tour, and then, if she is dominating that tour (as is Anika Sorenstam), then tunr her attention to trying to [...]

Let the Wie bashing begin. In an interesting parallel with Apple Computer Inc. golf writers around the internets know that writing about why Michelle “can’t cut it” or why the Macintosh “will fail” equals reader gold.

AP’s Jim Armstrong quickly points out the following:

No woman has made a PGA Tour cut since Babe Didrikson Zaharias in [...]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Steve Hummer offers a quick prognostication in his piece covering recent changes at the Augusta National course.

Standing upon the new Masters tee at the par-3 fourth hole, a media visitor allowed past the gates for a preview of the latest changes almost feels the 35 added yards from the bottoms of his [...]

That’s the conclusion reached by Gavyn Davies of the Guardian UK. Not only does he state the seemingly obvious, he supports his contention that Annika Sorenstam could compete against men in his number crunching (always with the numbers!):

Sorenstam and Wie are not just average women. They are as dominant in their own game as Tiger [...]
