So when is this ever going to end? God, kid. At some point you better learn to greet people at the door of super discount stores or bag groceries or something because your golf career is in the crapper. You’re head doesn’t seem to be very far behind. Or is it in your behind?

But then, just as soon as you think a moron can’t get any further in this life, another moron gives the other one another chance.

The smell wasn’t off a disqualification on the LPGA Tour yet and Michelle Wie has decided to tee it up against the men, again.

Unbelievable.

I’ll even admit Wie has had some pretty impressive finishes in the middle of a couple other embarrassing moments in her career and showed signs of improvement this past weekend at the State Farm Classic in Illinois. She was a shot off the lead going into the final round when, finally, Tour officials discovered that she had left the scoring area without signing her scorecard after Friday's second round. Wie finished her round Saturday, and then, according to the rules of golf, was disqualified.

“Michelle Wie was notified following the conclusion of today's third round in order to provide her an opportunity to give an account of yesterday's second round situation,” according to Mike Nichols, Vice President of Tournament Business Affairs, and an upstanding young man.

“The LPGA first heard of the violation mid-morning today, but it was after Wie had begun her third round play, and actions could not be further taken until she had completed 18 holes and given the opportunities to recount the events of Friday's second round.

“The 2008 LPGA Rules of Play define the scoring area as the roped area defining the boundary of the scoring tents. Supplementary Rules of Play stipulate that the scoring area of boundary may instead be defined by a white line, which has the effect of decreasing the size of the scoring area.

“The white line was not deemed necessary this week and was not put in place, and as a result, the boundary is the scoring tent.

“Prior to signing her scorecard, Wie had left the defined scoring area according to items number 3, resulting in her subsequent disqualification.

“Item number 3 on the 2008 LPGA Rules of Play reads as follows: Returning of scorecards, 6-6, page 31 - A player is deemed to have returned her scorecard to the committee when she leaves the roped area of the scoring tent or leaves the scoring trailer.”

There are a lot of picky rules in golf, some of them do include white lines, and I think they are designed to make ignorance painful.

A win or high finish would have all but guaranteed Wie enough money to finish in the top 80 LPGA players this year, the cutoff for automatic inclusion in next year's tour.

This isn’t a direct quote, so forgive by blog license, but her explanation probably really sounded like this, like.

“You know, like it's just a really unfortunate. Like, I don't know what happened to me. Usually, like, I sign it first. But, like, I forgot to sign the scorecard. Unfortunately, I left the tournament area, and like, a couple of the scorers went after me and like I signed it and I turned it in. And, like, I thought it would be okay.

“But, like, it was an honest mistake. I don't know why or how it happened. But, you know, like, I just forgot to sign it. It was really unfortunate, but hopefully it won't happen again. It was a good learning experience.”

It was “a good experience?” You’ve got to be kidding me. Freudian, I’m sure.

For most, that would be enough to tell themselves it was time to quit the game. Go back to Stanford part-time as she is doing now, which is still baffling how she was admitted, party hard and spend daddy’s money that you earned him in all those endorsement deals.

No chance of that yet, apparently. The Wie Circus continues to roll. This time the wagons pull up to the Reno-Tahoe Open on the PGA Tour, at Montreux Golf & Country Club. The Nevada tournament is one of the weakest fields on the Tour, while the game’s best (well, almost all of them) play in Akron, Ohio at the WGC—Bridgestone Championship at Firestone Country Club the week before the PGA Championship.

It will be her eighth time playing on the PGA Tour, and she has yet to make a cut. The only time Wie has made a dime playing against the men was on the Korean Tour. In 2006, Wie played on the weekend at the SK Telcom Open where she finished in a tie for 43rd along with Jong-duk Kim, Young-suk Kwon, Sung-han Chung, Sung Lee, Sang-ho Choi, Hyun-jun Cho and other prominent Korean players banking $4,303.00, which probably didn’t cover the bar tab for her entourage in Seoul. To her credit, she did make the cut in a field that featured Korean PGA Tour star K.J. Choi. But due to a third-round rainout, the 72-hole affair was shortened to 54 holes. No telling what might have happened if it went another round.

After garnering the invitation to play near lake Tahoe, Wie said in a statement that was obviously edited by her publicist, "It's not every day that a woman is given the opportunity to play on the greatest tour in the world. This is a tremendous opportunity for me to learn from these great players and take those lessons into the future to becoming the best player I can be on any Tour. This is another step in the process of making me a better player."

Maybe. Or help a hopeless, off-week event.

"This will be a great experience for the community to see a player like Michelle in this setting," said tournament director Michael Stearns, formerly a tournament director for super-agency IMG. "Michelle is getting her game together, she's getting back in the swing of things and we have no problem extending her this opportunity."

I'm not sure if John Daly got an exemption. Ask where you can find the Big Top in Reno if you decide to go.

Wie, who is 18, has no status on any tour. She has only one sponsor's exemption on the LPGA left in 2008 and will be playing her seventh and final LPGA Tour event of this year at the CN Canadian Women's Open in August.

Wie's chances of securing a 2009 LPGA Tour membership card now rest with her winning roughly $80,000 in her final tournament, which probably would take a top-three finish. Otherwise, she could be headed to the first of two stages of qualifying, but qualifying anywhere surely will start a family argument.

"I think the qualifying conflicts with school, so I probably won't go to that," Wie said last month at the U.S. Women's Open in Minnesota. But that was before her hopes of winning enough money to become exempt for next year were dashed by being an airhead.

Reportedly, according to the Associated Press, her father, B.J., who is probably the most domineering parent since Mark O’Hair, made it sound as though Q-school was a distinct possibility at the time.

"What other options do we have?" he said.

He should remember she’s now 18 and can enter into contracts all by herself.

If she messes up these chances, he probably will say, “What are Wie going to do?”

The shopping carts are by the front door.
