Shall Wie Dance?

Her golf game is nowhere near where it should be, but at least she has a sense of humor.

Michelle Wie, 24, who took a lot ribbing for what people called ‘table top’ putting stance last year, poked fun at herself when she visited David Leadbetter Academy on Wednesday, and even put the picture on he Twitter account.

Luke Donald, known to have the best short game in the PGA Tour saw the photo and said “Still too upright.”

Wie, who stands 6′ 1″ tall in height, had said before that she got the idea by watching Japanese golfer Ai Miyazato, who stands much closer to the ground at 5′ 2″.

It may took uncomfortable, but you can’t argue with success. According to John Holmes of PGA.com, Wie’s putting numbers improved pretty dramatically – from an average of 31.16 putts per round in 2012, which was 119th on the LPGA Tour, to an average of 29.88, which ranked 51st.
