Natalie Gulbis blogs from the Solheim Cup
Want a behind the scenes glimpse into what it’s like for the players of the Solheim Cup? Check out Natalie’s blog.

In addition to discussing the golf course and the play, she talks about fun details like:
- getting dolled up for the festive events
- the “cute outfits” they got and what they’re wearing on the course
- fire alarms
- jet lag
- learning a new bunker shot (really?)
- preparing for cold weather
- practicing with teammate’s brand of golf balls to get a feel for them (as well as how the pairings might be based on how they play with certain golf balls)
- the gifts they’re receiving from the captains and players
- room decorations … and more
It’s a really fun read and so far she has posted every day this week. I hope she continues the pace and keeps us up to speed throughout the competition.
Each player was given a Canon Powershot camera and they’re all taking their own photos, which are being posted on the LPGA website as well as at the Golf Channel site. Here’s a shot of Morgan Pressel’s room:
Now we can add blogger to the list of all things Natalie. Thanks, Nat!
Stina Sternberg is also on location at the Solheim Cup and is blogging on it over at Golf For Women.
The Solheim Cup coverage doesn’t come on here until 11 PM, but of course I’ll be Tivo-ing it and keeping up with the tournament as well as watching how the Tour Championship/FedEx Cup final plays out.
Thanks to Golfgal for the heads up on Natalie’s blog!

Where did Natalie get the idea that the US was the underdog ? Every betting site I saw had the US as a big favorite.

I wish Natalie’s right eye always looked like that–the LPGA could use an Igor on tour to counteract all the other pretty faces.
