Look to the boobs

Yesterday, I watched Michelle Wei struggle and miss the cut in yet another PGA event.

Observers are trying to figure out what went wrong with this girl-wonder. At 14, she played with the men and missed the cut by only 1 stroke. Amazing! At the time, her drive was ridiculously good, but her short game was costing her strokes. Now, at 17, her drives are landing her anywhere but on the fairway, and she's not hitting her irons quite the same way. Her putting's improved tremendously, but she's still hitting in the high numbers, and her swing just doesn't seem to be working for her anymore.

"What happened?", they say. "Has she lost her confidence? Her focus? Her drive?"

Nope, that's not it. I'm no pro, but even I can tell at a glance what's going on with this girl. She grew up. And she grew boobs.

I'm serious. Bring your hands together in front of you as though you're holding a golf club. Imagine learning to master a golf swing just as you are.

Now make some changes to your body. If you're a guy, go put on your girlfriend's bra and stuff it with a few chicken breasts... you know, something that won't easily squish like Kleenex. If you're a gal, imagine your chest has just expanded by 2 cup sizes (I know!). Now go ahead and try to make that same swing.

Not gonna happen. Your boobs just got in the way. Of course women with boobs can play golf. But if you're used to playing without boobs, then it's going to take some adjustment to play with them.

So it's pretty simple, really. Just make way for the boobs, Michelle. Like every woman eventually knows, once you learn to master the boobs, the balls become easier to control.

Patty Berg, one of the greatest women golfers, actually said this about herself. She said, that as her breasts grew, she had to change her swing. Michele will figure it out. It's really no different for male golfers who get fat a la Craig Stadler.
