Wie Injures Wrist
It was reported today that Michelle Wie fell while she was running and injured her wrist. Word has it that she’s wearing a hard cast and may be out of golf for at least a month. This of course, puts the Nabisco Championship without one their biggest draws if she indeed misses the tournament.
While I don’t doubt the seriousness of her injury, it appears this is just another moment in the last 6 months that have put the teenager in a negative light. If I’m her Dad, I would tell her to take at least 3 months off and let the injury heal completely before coming back out. Her future depends on her limbs being 100% week-in and week-out and attempting to come back before the injury has suffficiently healed is career-suicide. She’s walking a tightrope as it is right now and she can’t afford to give anything less than 100% for the sponsors and her backers.
