Michelle Wie Kia Commercial

I’m pretty sure the casual viewer doesn’t put nearly this much thought into it and maybe at the most decide whether they prefer this commercial or the one with the hamsters. (I love the drummer hamster!)

And here’s the link to it on YouTube in case the embed code fails (as I know they do on here from time to time).

Interesting Idea for Golf Tours to Collaborate

December 14, 2010 / / 4 Comments

Iain Carter, BBC 5 Live’s golf correspondent, posted some interesting thoughts yesterday on his blog on how the men’s and women’s golf tours could work together. Pro golfer (former Women’s British Open Champion) Karen Stupples shared her thoughts with him via twitter and I thought it was an intriguing idea:

“45 men 45 women. Alternating groups of men and women. Men’s yardage, women’s yardage. No cut, place according to score all one division not separate.”

There were some horrifying comments left by readers that illustrate how sexism is alive and well – not just in golf. This is an issue that never fails to ruffle my feathers, to say the least. I will be posting more about this after I talk to Ms. Stupples when she gets back in the states and perhaps some other pro golfers as well. I’d love to get some of your thoughts if you care to share them. Opinions are welcome – yes, even if they’re contrary to my own – but please keep it classy.

Meanwhile, here is a post of mine from awhile back with some of my thoughts on sexism in golf.

Holiday Golf Gift Idea for Chicks

December 10, 2010 / / 1 Comment

Looking for something special for the golf chick in your life for Christmas or another holiday? Try this!

It seems like when I’m shopping for golf chicks, it’s difficult to find something beyond the usual array of equipment, clothing and gadgets. It’s rare to come across something truly unique AND useful. Did I mention affordable? That’s right – if you’re one of the lucky ones with a large holiday gift budget, this makes a great stocking stuffer. But if you’re like a lot of people right now and are spending less this year on presents, this makes a great standalone gift!

It’s sparkly, girly, practical and fabulous, and I bet you’d be hard pressed to find a golf chick who wouldn’t enjoy receiving a Putterflys ball marker necklace. Beautiful Swarovski crystals adorn the ball marker to provide the sparkle. The marker is easy to slide off the enhanced magnetic clip (bit stays put when you don’t need it), which hangs from the necklace cord.

Some women don’t like to wear hats when they golf, and find themselves digging in a pocket or fiddling with their gloves to find a ball marker when they need it, so this provides a fashionable and functional solution for them. They come in many different designs and colors (the picture here is only a sampling) so she can get several and always have one that works well with the outfit of the day. The cords are also available in different colors.

Starting at only $21.95, these unique pieces of golf jewelry come in their own pretty little pouches – perfect for a gift! You can also get packages that come with multiple markers & necklaces. And as of now, they offer free standard shipping. How can you beat that?

She’ll look good on and off the course wearing one of these. Sparkly, girly, unique and fabulous? No surprise Christina Kim wears them on the LPGA Tour. I think those words describe her, too.
