Apparently Joe Hardy, the founder of 84 Lumber, has announced that in addition to a sponsor's exemption to next weekends 84 Lumber Classic PGA event, Michelle Wie will get to tee off from ladies tees. They will be between 15 and 35 yards closer on each hole.
Hardy was quoted as saying, "she has been struggling and this course is over 7500 yards with rain expected Wednesday night. In addition to giving her a chance to make the cut, we also want to make sure that she doesn't slow down play or get heat exhaustion."
Michelle Wie responded with, "I'm only 16 and I'm still learning so I think its OK - if Nike says its OK too." Looks like she is going to do it!
Apparently some of the PGA players are pretty torqued off!
What do you think, should she be allowed to play from ladies tees?

Obviously, some can't see the humor in your question. I'm tired of hearing about Michelle, she hasn't even won on the LPGA. If it's not heat exhaustion, it's her caddy, if it's not her caddy, it's a playing competitor. She's a whiny kid with whiny parents, who needs to give it up. I know, let her play by herself, maybe she will win?

Even if it is true she shouldn't even agree to it. If somehow she makes the cut or finishes this event well people will surely say "OH IT'S CUZ SHE HIT FROM A CLOSER TEE"

This is completely untrue. You've made this up.
She's going to shoot 77-78 from the regular tees, but there's no need to be sarcastic. She could still beat you by 10 strokes a round.

If she wants to play in a mens event, she should play from the mens tees. What would happen if they decided to have women playing in a mens tennis event? Would they serve from somewhere else? Closer maybe?

I didn't hear that but I don't believe it. First even if she was allowed I don't think she would, and if allowed and if she would then I'm sure that she would be disqualified from receiving any $ if she were to make the cut.

What, are you jealous that she can play at the tees she is entitled to play at?
