Damn you people. Go back to your shanties.
Apparently Michelle Wie is playing in a men's PGA Tour event this weekend. She's in pretty good shape to make the cut, which would be the first time a female has done so in a PGA event in 60 years.
Now, somebody can correct me if I am wrong, but what exactly is stopping a woman from doing well in the PGA? The only thing I can think of is that women can't drive the ball quite as far. According to ESPN, the strongest men are whacking that ball about 310 yards, while the women top out at 260 yards. It seems to me that if you can get a woman to bulk up and add about 20 yards to her drives, women will be equally competitive with men.
Because, really, what else is there? I was thinking the other day how golf really is not a man's game. Apart from the driving, it requires quite a few unmanly elements: A deft, light touch to chip the ball from close distances; Good, sound judgement for determining what club to use; and perfect manners. In fact, I can't believe Tiger Woods' caddy hasn't thrown someone into the lake for scratching his ass while Tiger is trying to line up a putt.
Now, if any golfers want to correct me and tell me why else women can't golf, lay it on me.
