Part of her problem last year was a wrist injury. She got it when she was stuffing a basketball in exercise practice. She was hurting for the last half of the season. I think she has a decent future. But her time to be a star is gone. There are a lot of young good woman golfers now. She no longer stands out. Except of course being a foot and a half taller. ---

> [@](#): > > you linked to a picture with her in the foreground and a bunch of Asian men in the background, none of which is Yao Ming. Said picture proving fuck-all about how tall she is. What you can do is either provide evidence for your claim, or give it up. I’m pretty sure he’s taking the piss. It’s pretty funny, actually. ---

Don’t know shit about golf or Michelle Wie but just want to point out that those Asian men in the photos (provided by gonzomax) with her are not basketball players but Korean TV personalities. I assume they are of average height. ---

I assume they are of average height. And she is at least 2 feet taller than them. Are you anti Korean?. Are you suggesting they are 3 feet tall. Shame on you. ---
