David Leadbetter: "scared" for Michelle Wie's golf future

I was just watching PTI on ESPN. They quoted David Leadbetter as saying that he was "scared" for Michelle Wie's golf future. I haven't found the quote online yet, but her former coach Gary Gilchrist is really critical of Wie's parents and David Leadbetter in this article.

Gilchrist says, "If they keep doing what they are doing, there is a great chance it will get worse and worse. She was as natural, as gifted a golfer that I have ever seen, but one of the reasons B.J. made the move to go to David was to help her more mechanically. Unfortunately, what ends up happening is you get distracted and get addicted to the mechanics of the game. Now she has lost the feel for the game."

Wow, things are getting ugly.

so now lead-monster is creating distance - he fucked up charles howell 3 and now he has fucked up wie but in both cases it has been great for the grand charlatan's business.

another example of someone with a good rap but no ability to deliver on his promises.

and when will he stop wearing that ridiculous hat???

I don't know about Leadbetter. He may be a quack, he might not. With Wie, though, I have to wonder. Is it better to suck and suck and suck and just keep sucking at the top level, all in the limelight, and hope it gets better? Or would some time spent in the junior leagues or resting that wrist do more for her progress? I've often heard the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. How long and how bad does someone have to suck before they are not, in all good taste, allowed to use the term s "genius", "prodigy" or "potential" anymore.

And please, enough with the Earl Woods references. Yeah, he pushed Tiger to excel but a) how old was Tiger when he turned pro? b) what types of things had he done first?
Frankly, I've always thought one of the most impressive things about Tiger is not his talent, it's his maturity, mental agility, etc. He's a bright guy who doesn't/didn't do dumb stuff. Michelle Wie is not exactly blessed with that acumen.

TIGER vs. ROGER - WHO IS THE MORE DOMINANT ATHLETE? Golf and tennis have 4 majors every year. Tiger won his first major in 1997. From 1997-2007 Tiger has won 13 out of 44 majors. A wining percentage of 29.54% and Tiger is age 31. Roger won his first major in 2003. From 2003-2007 Roger has won 12 out of 20 majors. A wining percentage of 60% and Roger is only age 26. Looking at the stats who would you bet on to win more majors in 2008 Tiger or Roger? In 2007 Roger won WIMBLEDON for the 5th consecutive year in a row. And you guys thought Tiger was dominant on grass? Next in 2008 Roger could become the ALL TIME GRAND SLAM CHAMPION if he wins 3 more. TIGER CAN'T he still needs 6 more majors to pass Jack N. record of 18. NEED I SAY ANYMORE? O.K. I WILL - Tiger himself and Pete Sampras called ROGER FEDERER THE MOST DOMINANT ATHLETE ON THE PLANET. - KNOW U KNOW!

I actually know Aaron Baddeley and his father Ron said to me they spent 3 years with Leadbetter finding out he didn't have the answers.

I can fix Michelle in one afternoon, it is a shame what she is working on Just shows not many instructors truly understand the golf swing and have there players constantly try this and try that her teacher is known for this unfortunately.
