Pebble Beach ProAm

What is better than playing Pebble Beach, having Natalie Gulbis as your caddy.

Some guys have all the luck / connections.

Regular TV looks pretty good, but we really need the Golf Channel to be in HD in Canada.

**jvincent** · 02-07-2008 07:53 PM

Do we really need to see some of those swings in HD?

There's no way Chris Berman is an 18.

**lms** · 02-07-2008 08:02 PM

I was thinking the same thing about some of the reported handicaps.

The HD is for the views

. Brings back good memories.

What qualifies as celebrity these days is pretty sad.

**Samick** · 02-08-2008 08:36 AM

I'm always curious about the handicaps from the celebrities at these types of events. Dont get me wrong, somebody with an unorthodox swing can play some pretty good golf....those kind of guys at the club gives me fits!

The AT&T Pebble Beach is my wifes fav. tournament of the year because she gets to see all her favourite actors hamming it up on the course, and while I enjoy that as well, I watch for the scenery and the pros. Some of those pictures are breathetaking with the ocean crashing on the rocks/beach like that...makes me home sick.

Who has Gulbis as a caddy?

I can't remember his name (too busy drooling over Gulbis) but he was the President and CEO of some financial company (probably her spponsor).

I laughed when she said she is now going to appreciate her caddy a lot more and won't give him a hard time anymore!

Teddy Forstmann, one of Vijay's best friends and his equity firm is a sponsor of Vijay's as well.

Maybe hes after Natalie, he is single

This guy Forstmann moves in some pretty lofty circles.
Seems a little odd that an active LPGA tour player is caddying, it would be interesting to know how this came about.

**Weazl** · 02-08-2008 03:10 PM

Is Tommy Gainey Tommy 2 gloves? If so he made a move so far today. -4 for the day and 3 under for the tourney.

**Kilroy** · 02-08-2008 03:20 PM

Yep. That's him.

**sillywilly** · 02-08-2008 03:27 PM

why is it a big deal, tiger caddies for his college buddies from time to time.

Also, why does everyone thing these LPGA girls are so hot? they are hot compared to the rest of the girls on tour but compared to other women they are a little above average.... maybe the fact that they are amazing golfers makes them seem hotter to you guys?

**Sakuraba** · 02-08-2008 04:07 PM

Currently enjoying the tourcast of the 7th hole.

**lms** · 02-08-2008 04:08 PM

Apparently they know each other, Natalie had agreed to do this, and this was the first year she wasn't too busy and could make it.

Jinxed him! he just doubled the 4th!

**Sakuraba** · 02-08-2008 04:35 PM

I guess I just jinxed him: He Doubled the 5th too! He's getting "popped" by Poppy Hills!

**Kilroy** · 02-08-2008 04:38 PM

Bad Sak. You should know better.

**Sakuraba** · 02-08-2008 04:46 PM

I'm really pulling for Tommy. I hope he can turn it around, make the cut. I was hoping to see him on the tourcast until I realized he was on the poppy hills course...

Hey Sak, genius, he's playing Spyglass...

**mpare** · 02-08-2008 06:12 PM

Mike Weir would have a really good round today, if he wasn't bogeying par fives. The last time I looked he was 3 under after having bogeyed two par five. That really has to hurt. These guys normally feast on these holes. Does anyone know what happened?

If you're referring to Gulbis being a caddy, it's not that it's really a big deal but I don't think it's the same as Tiger looping for a college buddy. Friends from college are like no others, Tiger was probably trying to help out a friend, and the last time I remember Tiger caddying was for Jerry Chang about 7 or 8 years ago.

I doubt the overloaded bag Gulbis is hauling around is that of a college buddy. I do have to admit though, she seems to have some business savvy, and getting face time at Pebble/Poppy can't hurt her.

I think you answered your own question. They are are hot within the context of the LPGA.
