naked golf tips

Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But this is certainly not the case.

Natalie Gulbis assumed she'd be signing copies of her new calendar at the U.S. Women's Open. The U.S. Golf Association assumed the Gulbis calendars it ordered for its merchandise tent would be about golf. Both parties were reminded of what can happen when you assume. After seeing the 16-month calendar's pictures of the 21-year-old LPGA Tour standout -- including several bathing-suit shots -- the USGA decided it was not appropriate fare for its merchandise tent and canceled a scheduled Gulbis signing session. USGA spokesman Marty Parkes said the initial decision to stock the Gulbis calendars was made by Anne McCarthy, merchandise director of the Women's Open, whom Gulbis' agent contacted. "She was told it was a golf calendar," Parkes said. When McCarthy saw the contents of the calendar, which also includes photos of Gulbis in golf and exercise attire, she pulled the plug, Parkes said. "Basically, it was a case of the subject matter being inappropriate to the event," said Parkes, noting that the USGA aims a lot of its marketing at children. The calendar is the second one for Gulbis, who did her first one last year. She said she got the idea after Sports Illustrated started including pictures of female athletes in its annual swimsuit issue. "The fans have liked it, and there aren't really a lot of calendars that sports fans can buy of female athletes," she said. Although not officially on sale on the grounds, the calendar was a hot item at the Open. Gulbis said she had seen several in circulation, but didn't know what became of the 100 the USGA ordered. "I wish they were selling it here, because so many people have been asking me about them," Gulbis said. "A couple of USGA officials have come up to me and asked me for them."

"At age 50 we became athletes. There was a time we'd have two or three beers or a couple of shots of Jack Daniels or something of that nature (after a round) and you'd go to your hotel. But today you see guys shoot 65 and they go hit a couple of hundred balls, that sort of stuff." — Jim

Tiger Woods Trivia

Things you probably didn't know about Tiger Woods:

-- He still washes and waxes his own cars, especially the Porsche. But he won't wash fiancee Elin Nordegren's Hummer because, "It's just too big."

-- He requires only about four or five hours of sleep a night.

-- He lost about eight pounds recently and has been unable to put it back on, "because my metabolism is so high."

-- At every event he plays, a shipment of Nike One balls arrives at the practice range for his use. The Nike balls are separated from the other brands each day.

-- He gives nicknames to many of his fellow PGA Tour players. One of his best goes to Atlanta's Stewart Cink, whom he calls "Kitchen." -- Glenn Sheeley

Tiger Woods has frequently found himself in the trees and rough this year. Despite his poor fairway percentage (56.4), he's still the world's No. 1 player.

Critics who claim fiancee Elin Nordegren is a distraction don't see that Tiger Woods is more relaxed.
