Michelle Wie's Boyfriend: Former Pro Hoopster Adam Zahn

Did Michelle Wie and former pro basketball player Adam Zahn just go public with their romance? This photo of the two cuddling makes it seem so:

The caption that Michelle included with this photo on Instagram also points to Zahn being Wie's boyfriend:

The only boyfriend we've known about in Wiesy's past was Robin Lopez, the 7-footer who was at Stanford with her and has gone on to a decent NBA career.

Zahn, 32 years old, played his college ball at the University of Oregon. He measures in at 6-foot-8. And while he never achieved an NBA career, he did see the world playing pro basketball. Zahn, who now lives in California, had played professionally in a league in Japan, and even one in Iraq, in addition to spending some time in the D-League.

NBA centers might be the only men in America tall enough for Michelle.

Update I: We can confirm that Michelle and Adam are a couple and have been for a couple years. Back in October of 2014, Adam's mother wrote a comment on a friend's blog, and told the friend, "Adam our middle is dating Michelle Wie – the golfer ... she will be joining us for Christmas this year!"

Update II: Alas, Michelle appears to have deleted that Instagram post. So here's another photo of Michelle and her boyfriend, Adam Zahn:

Update III: Alas, it appears that romance has died. At least for Wiesy and Zahn. Not too long after the top photo above - the first publicly shared image of the two together - appeared, their relationship appears to have ended. Better luck next time to both.

(Note: new pics added to the bottom.) One of the fringe benefits of the LPGA Tour playing a tournament in the Bahamas is that some of the golfers snap selfies in bikinis and share them on social media. Like Lexi Thompson.

Urban Legend: Mrs. Palmer on 'The Tonight Show'

Is an urban legend about golf actually a suburban legend? There's a story that's told about Arnold Palmer's wife appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson . This would be Winnie Palmer, and the time was the late '60s. According to this legend, the following snippet was part of the conversation between Winnie and Johnny: Johnny: Do you do anything for Arnold before a tournament as a sort of good-luck charm or superstition? Mrs. Palmer: I kiss his balls. Johnny: Well ... I bet that makes his putter flutter. I've heard many people tell this story. Even had one friend who insisted that he watched it in real time. But there are a couple problems with the story. First, why would Carson have Arnold Palmer's wife on the show? Winnie Palmer was not herself famous. Second, nobody who knew Winnie can imagine her going on a talk show, nor - especially - coming anywhere near such a double-entendre. And, sure enough, a check of the Johnny Carson archives

The Amy Mickelson-Michael Jordan Rumor

The Amy Mickelson-Michael Jordan affair rumor. You've heard it, right? It got started back in 2010, around the time Phil Mickelson was winning The Masters. To this day, type "Amy Mickelson" into the Google search field and Google will try to autocomplete your query to "Amy Mickelson Michael Jordan" or "Amy Mickelson Michael Jordan rumor" or "Amy Mickelson Michael Jordan affair." Amy is Phil's wife, of course. Michael Jordan is a good friend of Phil's main rival, Tiger Woods. I understand Mr. Jordan also played basketball, but can't really speak to that. I focus entirely on golf, you see. With a side business in unfounded, crazy rumors. Put the Amy Mickelson-Michael Jordan affair rumor in the "you've got to be kidding" file. There's not a hint of a scintella of evidence - evidence! what a concept! - of any Amy Mickelson-Michael Jordan affair. There's barely any evidence of an Amy Mickelson-Phil Mickels
