What a swing. Seriously. As a bit of a student of golf swings, I think hers is one of the best examples of "pouring every damn ounce of your body into it" that there has ever been. I'd put her and Tom Watson in his 20s/30s in a class by themselves among pro golfers on that measure. Fun to watch, but every time she swings the club I feel like she swung too hard and it's going to be a disaster. But it's usually a spectacular shot, she knows what she's doing. If I tried that move, I'd be in traction before the clubhead ever made it back down to the ball. I should have known you’d be familiar with Gulbis. What a swing. Seriously.

Sure, Tiger's a public figure, but taking cheap shots at his wife is crossing a line. You just don't do that. 2. That same google search also turns up a photo of Natalie Gulbis...fine golfer, extremely beautiful and pride of Latvia. sp 1.

Geez, it's like a celebration of LSD, not a celebration of golf. Painted faces, bizarre costumes, women on stilts, giant helium balloons, weird colors, weird music. WTF?
