Congratulations to local golfer Michelle Wie. The thirteen-year-old 8th-grader played in the final group of the final round of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA - see their site here) Championship yesterday. The youngster finished in 9th place overall and first for amateurs. If you saw her amazing 285-yard (~261m) drives you know how she did so well. Unfortunately, her short game needs a lot of improvement. But if she can stay focused and continue to play, without getting burned out over the coming years, she will do very well one day.
Aloha!
