Michelle Wie signed outside the boundaries of the scoring area at last week’s State Farm Classic in Illinois and was disqualified. Shortly afterward, she promptly signed on to another decision that just seems outside the boundaries of reason.

That clerical oversight is forgivable, if not comical. Another miscue in a career dotted with faux pas. Her decision to sign on as a sponsor exemption at next week’s Reno-Tahoe Open is inexcusable. Another bad decision in a career defined by mismanagement and seemingly misguided motives.

We’ve seen this movie before. World meets girl. Girl charms world. World devours girl. Both lose.

For those keeping score, Wie is 0-for-8 in the big leagues, and at big ballpark like Montreux Golf & Country Club (7,472 elevated yards) she’s 4 down in her match to make the cut before she steps to the first tee.

Instead of celebrating a step in the right direction, she was a shot off the lead going into the final round at the State Farm Classic, Camp Wie is guilty of simply stepping in it. Again.

“When I saw it I actually thought it was a joke, quite honestly,” Jay Williamson told Golf Channel. “I know she is going to sell a lot more tickets than I will, but I would say it’s surprising. I don’t think it’s a real popular decision out here.”
