Michelle Wie: ‘The Big Wiesy’

{ Posted on Jan 04 2010 by Olivia }

Today we will tell you something about the nickname ‘The Big Wiesy’that she got.Sounds interesting right? So, no more talking , let’s check.( discount golf clubs )

Tom Lehman once nicknamed her “The Big Wiesy”,because he was so impressed in her remarkably fluid swing,  he thought it’s just like Els’, who is known as the “The Big Easy.” Asked Tuesday if that nickname met her approval, Wie smiled while standing in a practice bunker: “Yeah. I’m good with that.”

Wie, who started playing at age 4, isn’t out to emulate Woods ( golf equipment )as much as she is Els. “Yes,” B.J. Wie said. “Always Ernie. The rhythm and tempo.” That she has kept this buttery swing through such a dramatic growth spurt between ages 10 and 13 speaks to The Gift.

“I guess she was just born with this,” B.J. Wie said. “I mean, I’m good at golf, but not like this. This, you can’t teach.”

“She’s a competitive girl,” her father said, “but always sweet, too. She’s always been a sweet girl.”

Doctors have told B.J. Wie that his daughter will grow to be 6 foot 2, ( taylormade r9 driver )but she sort of frowns when he repeats this on Tuesday. “I know, you want to stay at 6 feet,” he says. Perhaps she can play basketball, too? “Nah, I’m no good at it,” she says, still chipping. “I’m OK at volleyball, though. I’m a good spiker.”

A Titleist rep drops off special long tees for Michelle, and she brightens. “Thank you,” she says, ever polite.

In her practice round, Wie displays The Gift. ( cheap golf clubs )On the par-4 1st hole, she hits a 4-wood 250 yards — past her playing partners, both of whom hit driver. She heads up the 1st fairway, and a large gallery follows.

She is really someting, best wishes for her!
