We Love You Natalie! We Really, Really Love You!

gw20070803cover_sm.jpgWow, I had no idea how desperately the golf publications were clamoring for a chance to milk a Natalie Gulbis win!  Golf World buried a PGA Championship preview for an action shot of Gulbis and all 6 feet of her legs. 

Meanwhile at golf.com's homepage you can't miss the soft core porn shots.

And I, being a total hit whore as much as the next blogger, am only posting this so that I can join in and exploit her smooth, tan, toned legs after this site welcomed 6000 new unique visitors in a three hour stretch yesterday thanks to Deadspin.

But just to show you I have standards, first, here is a teleconference call transcript helmed by Brian Robin. And second, to remind you what a first class operation this is, note that I did not not type the words "Natalie Gulbis nude photos" to attract hits from the inevitable 1000 daily unique Google searchers who truly have nothing to do at the office. Nope, I have standards.

Is it just me who saw a delicious irony in the comment of you "milking" Natlaie Gulbis along with that photo, the jets of water appearing from, dare I say, breast-like fittings on the wall.

What's that? Just me? Okay.

Guilty.

She clearly has a good figure, sure, but I cannot work out what her face looks like from the various photos I have seen. I have hardly ever seen a photograph of her when her face looks natural, as opposed to extravagently over made-up or arranged in some highly artificial pout.

I don't think I would recognise her if I saw her (clothed) in the flesh.

She has nice legs, I'll give her that. But that's where it ends for me.

I'm just happy that my two favorite sports sites have come together at last...

(and she's no Ai Miyazato, either)

The most, uh, photogenic female touring professional is probably Stacy Prammanasudh, at least judging by the photo of her in a recent Golf Digest. Unfortunately, the specific photo I am remembering does not appear to be on their website yet.

Perhaps you all need to familiarize yourself with Anna Rawson, who is playing at St. Andrew's this week: http://www.annarawson.com/dynamic/?Action=show_dynamic_content&fileid=125

As for Natalie, she looks her natural best when playing golf. She needs to either bring in Walter Iooss for her swimsuit stuff or ditch it altogether, because she just comes off as cheesy. But I am a big fan of hers. I think she is very genuine, a good player, a great competitor, and man she looks oh so hot in a black skirt and golf shoes.
08.1.2007 | Unregistered CommenterRM
I know, I know...it's St. Andrews.
08.1.2007 | Unregistered CommenterRM
Natalie looks much better wearing her work attire- i.e. golf outfits

For some reason in regular clothes she's not as attractive.

Kind of like the women who look good in business wear but on casual friday don't look so hot.

I prefer Sophie Sandolo:

The fact that any LPGA Tour player is being blogged about how she looks tells you how far they've come.
With Paula, Natalie, Anna and a few more others, I actually like watching a few holes on TGC after 10pm.
08.1.2007 | Unregistered CommenterG$
I salute this editorial stance.
08.1.2007 | Unregistered CommenterTighthead
I agree looks good in her golf hat and attire. Not so good in real life Nice legs though.
08.1.2007 | Unregistered Commentervwgolfer
Do you think she prefers the older man? *** sigh***
