My wife has pointed out that Ms. Wie's attire would not be considered appropriate at pretty much every private club in America.
That rule is in effect to prevent women her age from wearing it.
You're a bad man for being such a provocateur, but every once in awhile you hit pay dirt. Years ago, at a neighbor's surprise birthday/pool party, a recently divorced neighbor showed up with his well endowed, fit 20 year-old date whose string bikini strained to keep her all in. The men all had a great time goggling and talking up the lass; the women in groups, mostly stayed out of the water, looking not too pleased and bad mouthing Joe (the neighbor) for having been such a lousy former husband to their friend, but more so for providing food for thought to their own. The fun was spoiled when another neighbor, a popular television sports anchor, shows up fashionably late and hogged all the young lady's attention.
Not marginalizing Ms. Wie's great skills on the course, she is a very attractive young woman. Those leg things probably wouldn't work aesthetically on 90% of the field. Are they an affectation or do they really serve a medical/physical purpose? With the 5th Major coming up and Barny's laments about his deteriorating physical condition, maybe he'll be donning a matching set. I hope someone brings a camera.
