Fore Right EXCLUSIVE: Chat With Michelle Wie

Former teen phenom Michelle Wie has imposed a media blackout this week as she plays in the finals of the LPGA's Q-school, but Fore Right has secured an interview, so long as it was done via text message. What follows is our exclusive transcript.


FORERIGHT:
Thanks for taking some time out to chat, Michelle. Much appreciated.

WIE:
np

FORERIGHT:
So you're in the middle of Q-School and comfortably in 3rd place. What's been different about this week?

WIE:
ha BTHOOM! :)

FORERIGHT:
Bathroom?

WIE:
"BTHOOM" = Beats the heck out of me.

FORERIGHT:
Oh. Right. Well, you must at least be feeling good about your play, especially the 65 in round 2.

WIE:
DILLIGAD?

FORERIGHT:
Um...

WIE:
DILLIGAD = Do I look like I give a damn?

FORERIGHT:
Oh. Well actually, yeah, I think you do care. A lot actually.

WIE:
DBEYR

FORERIGHT:
You realize I'm not a teenage girl, don't you?

WIE:
Sorry -- Don't Believe Everything You Read

FORERIGHT:
Really? Are you saying you don't want to play pro golf anymore?

WIE:
cd9

FORERIGHT:
Hmm... Code 9?

WIE:
nice!

FORERIGHT:
I still don't know what that means.

WIE:
code 9 means parents r around. How old ru?

FORERIGHT:
31.

WIE:
ugh that's old. OK, rents gone. Look, DQMOT, okay?

FORERIGHT:
Again, I'm 31.

WIE:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! DQMOT = Don't Quote Me On This!

FORERIGHT:
I'm pretty sure I won't know what you're saying anyway.

WIE:
1 sec - my wrist is starting 2 hurt again

FORERIGHT:
You know what, maybe we should just stop this.

WIE:
No big d. Waiting 4 green to clr.

FORERIGHT:
You're doing this ON the course?

WIE:
Yeah. Y?

FORERIGHT:
I'm pretty sure that's against the rules.

WIE:
?????

FORERIGHT:
'Fraid so.

WIE:
:(

FORERIGHT:
I think you might have to DQ for this.

WIE:
DQ?

FORERIGHT:
Disqualify. How could you not know that one?

WIE:
:( x 1000000000!!

FORERIGHT:
I'm really sorry.

WIE:

I never said she wasn't a teen anymore, just not a teen phenom. The big question is whether we'll soon be adding her to the list of famous Stanford golf dropouts...

GASP ! You could lose your media standing by taking the word "phenom" off of Michelle Wie ! :-)

Do you really believe she's a serious student at Stanford ? When she was interviewed during one of her many "breaks" from classs to miss a cut, she was asked something about her classes - her response was that she had to read a book - but didn't know which one.

Personally, I have doubted her sincerity since she made the announcement that she would be going to Stanford (legacy) and then said she would be playing a professional schedule. The two just don't mix.
