Michelle Wie Hits Stanford

Golf Digest's Mark Soltau reports in the magazine's blog that incoming freshman Michelle Wie has been spotted on the university's golf course.

Alas, also spotted were Mr. and Mrs. Wie, who drove the cart while Michelle played nine. Soltau notes that as a freshman, Wie is required to live in an on-campus dorm. However, her parents have rented a nearby house. Hopefully Michelle will be allowed the space to enjoy the college experience, but, well ...

Wie cannot play golf for Stanford, since she's a professional. I recall speculation from several months ago that Wie would be named a volunteer assistant coach with the Cardinal golf teams in order to get her full access to the teams' practice facilities. No mention of that in Soltau's blog post, but he does note that she "will be allowed to use the course and practice facilities."

Let's hope that now that Wie is enrolled, she can safely navigate the Stanford campus. Without breaking her wrist.

'rents rent nearby
I didn't see if her parents were renting that house close by on a long term basis, or just a month or two while she gets used to being a college babe doing the frat party scene. (wouldn't you love seeing the look on ma an pa's faces when little Michelle shows up hung over ?)

Hope it's just a short term thing.

Geez - she's already paid for the "family" house in California.  The girl needs some breathing room before she either goes crazy like Jennifer Capriati, or just folds completely and becomes a golf recluse, living permanently under the parent's rule.
