Stuart Appleby: My Hero.

"[Michelle Wie] should just let it go for now and come back when she has a more accomplished game. She's just not ready for it. She's certainly not proving anything except that she can't play with the men at her level right now. A couple times is nice. It's interesting . . . But now it's just getting to the stage where she'll get criticized too much."

See, I'm not the only one who feels this way. What started out as kind of a cute show has only turned into a tired exercise in the absurd. Michelle Wie obviously doesn't have what it takes right now to play with the men. In fact, she hasn't even proved that she has what it takes to win with the women.

Before trying to take on the entire golf world, a player needs to actually collect some smaller wins. Play LPGA events. Try to win those first. You've proved to us all that you're not ready for the men. Stop taking their spots on the tour though. Men aren't allowed to play the women's tournament. Their are rules about that.

Geez, seriously. I'm so happy that some players are starting to actually say what they've all had to be thinking for the past few years.
