The Back Nine: We need Wie!

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Michelle Wie.jpgThe Solheim Cup at Rich Harvest Farms is rapidly approaching, and one of the biggest (potential) draws the event could have is 19-year-old Michelle Wie.
The Front Nine touched on the subject today.

I've seen her up close at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, and not only is she a great golfer, but she's a huge star and the biggest on the LPGA Tour. She would draw tens of thousands to Rich Harvest alone, which would make the entire event that much more special.

Now, the point of the Solheim is to win, and if the Big Wiesy is playing well she will only help the US team continue its run of dominance over the weakend Euro's. She's a big hitter, which will be needed at Rich Harvest, and she has experience winning in match play.

For the tip of the week, Hughes Creek head pro Sam Bradberry helps us get aligned correctly with a simple foot drill....check out the club here and sign up for several of their great events in the coming weeks.
