Natalie Gulbis falls to Mi Hyun Kim in 3 hole playoff
Natalie Gulbis had a great chance to get first LPGA Tour win at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. After posting a -6 65 in regulation, she went into a 3 hole playoff with Mi Hyun Kim and had to match birdies on the 3rd playoff hole to stay alive. She didn’t.
In the last post I talked about using the words “Tiger Woods” to get lots of hits on your golf site. Well, I’m sure one of the next hottest “hit getters” is Natalie Gulbis. Miranda commented on the last post that her highest searches are for naked golfers. Needless to say if the words “Natalie Gulbis Naked” or “Natalie Gulbis Nude” were in a blog post, it would get lots of hits. Ok, you busted me…hehe. And if you found this post because you were looking for nude pictures of Natalie Gulbis, shame on you.

Dipsy Doo
I have a hard time watching Natalie or Paula Creamer for that matter. They both dip big time in their downswings.
Natalie Gretzky
And I also have a hard time watching Natalie putt with that hockey stick grip and open stance. Perhaps some good work with a putting coach and a more conventional grip would have helped her make one of those putts to win on the last regulation hole or the first two playoff holes? Then again her hockey stick stroke got her into the playoff so you can’t argue with those results.
Line Me Up
One other funky thing was that many of the players today, Natalie and Mi Hyun included, had their caddies lining up their shots (not their putts). You don’t see that much on the PGA or other men’s tours. Do these ladies have a hard time with alignment or is it more just part of their preshot routines?
Natalie will win her share eventually.
Tiger Woods is a good blog subject if you want hits
Hey do you have a golf blog or golf site? Here’s a tip. Put the words “Tiger Woods” in there as much as you can and you’ll get more “hits” and visitors. I’ll admit I hardly do much on Tiger. I should do more I suppose. But when I can write about other off the wall stuff, like “The Experiment” I guess Tiger gets 2nd billing…
EatGolf.com inspired this post a bit by showing how how views of his Tiger Woods video totalled more than all the other golfer videos on his site.
I have a stat I just crunched similar to that. HOG has a photo gallery, in case you didn’t know. The gallery has a counter which counts the individual views of the albums. Here they are:

One of the many reasons to love golf
Today was one prime example of why golf is such a great game: meeting new friends.
Two buddies and I played a practice round for a BIG two day tournament we’re in this weekend: The Salt Lake Open.
We were joined by an extremely cute lady from Finland named Nina. She was here on vacation. She had only been golfing for two years and she hit the ball fairly well, especially her irons. She proudly told us she was a 34 handicap and she jumped right into our group like she’d been playing Thursdays with us for 5 years. She was so cute on the course. When we’d say “good shot” she’d wave just like Annika Sorenstam. It was fun.
After starting with 8 consecutive pars I lost concentration and I let a good round go south. I hope all the bad shots today are out of my system and the good shots happen this weekend in the Salt Lake Open.
Mini photoblog of today’s round
Had a great ball striking round today at a local Arthur Hills design course here called Wingpointe. “Wingy” is right by the SLC Airport. Scored a 74, despite some issues…
This shot looks like an airplane is on #12 green:
This fox was eating lunch and watched me tee off on #13. I wish he would have looked closer because my tee shot was never found in the left rough and I took a 6 on that hole:

Sunglasses fly right out the window

Man what an oddball thing this evening. I was heading back home from a family dinner. It wasn’t too hot outside so I had the windows open. My Callaway S401 sunglasses were on the dashboard. I hit the freeway entrance fast enough for my sunglasses to slide across the dash and right out the window.
I figured they’d be trashed and I almost left them on the side of the freeway entrance. But I decided I’d see what the damage was so I pulled over and huffed back on foot. I picked them up and as luck (or their strength of materials) would have it, not a single scratch!
Apparently my friends at Callaway weren’t kidding when they said these things were tough.
