Message: [QUOTE="YellwJcket999, post: 2386944, member: 7976"] At the time that Wie was offered to play in a men's tourney. She was pretty damn good. The initial part of her career mental issues outside of the ropes plagued her inside of the ropes. While she was playing well she could post a respectable score hitting from the men's tees. I performed a few stat analysis and there are quite a few out there. What really separates the women's game from the men's game is not so much about length. There are quite a few short course tourneys and short knockers (e.g.C.Pavin, F.Funk) where there is overlap between the long hitters on the women's tour and the short knockers on the men's tour. It is the differences in the short game that really set apart the men from the women at the elite level. The putting percentages, up/downs, sand saves all show just how really good that even the very bottom ranked PGA tour players are compared to the top level females. All of that is an aside. (Amateur level) There are women out there who can compete every bit with many/not all amateur men. If she wants to lace them up and play with me. Let's do it. If she beats me (or you) she is just the better golfer. Length is not the end all be all. Next time you play move up a tee and see how different your scores are. Good amateur women can play very competitively at ~6000yrds. [/QUOTE]
