Daily Dose: March 27 - It's too bad....

That Michelle Wie is drifting toward irrelevance, largely because of injury.

I'll be honest, I'm thinking that this has more to do with mismanagement (again) on the part of her camp. Wrist injuries are very serious in golf, yet she keeps getting trotted out for sponsor exemptions, only to either get hurt again, or play so poorly it only damages her already shaky reputation.

The smart thing would be to 1.) Make sure she doesn't need surgery 2.) let her rest until she's pain free.

She's only 18. She can heal. And she deserves that chance.

I covered Wie during the 2005 John Deere Classic when she finished just two shots away from making the cut. The double-bogey/bogey down the stretch showed the nerves of a 15 year old, but her talent was undeniable.

Hopefully, this latest injury is the cold splash of water on the face for Michelle and her camp - sit it out. There's no reason to risk a broken bone or torn tendon that permanently affects her career.
