Paulina Gretzky Front Cover

[Slab]

nothing special in my eyes, but agree a non golfer should not be on the front page of the mag. However they could of gone with that presenter who had her birthday the other day from the golf program.

She would of ticked all boxes to keep everyone happy

Holly whatshername? Think she was on the December issue (or one from last year anyway)

 

[Birchy]

Cockney rhyming slang?

That's what I thought

 

[Slab]

Does it affect anyone's opinion with her being on the front page, wearing yoga gear, knowing that this month's is a fitness related issue?

I did think about that before posting but since the mag didn't state that that's why she in particular was used I kinda dismissed it

No, A nice morning. Very productive.

I just have a slight issue with silicone enhanced naughty pillows. I have never seen a good pair (despite significant experience in this area) and question the motivation of any woman that has this done for reasons other than a post mastectomy or child rearing return to normal conditions.

For me, natural bee stings beat colossal, plastic chapel hat pegs every time.

I bow to your superior knowledge oh wise sir !

I have how ever just spat apple all over my screen with the red bit :thup:

The last line i am in full agreement with you

 

[hackandburn]

Not even that hot in my opinion. Paula Creamer - far hotter and she can play!!

Just for clarity, this is the person that is being discussed.

And in amongst all this...

Has anyone noticed that the first LPGA Major is underway?

Wie and Pak on -5, 1 off the (Chinese) leader who I expect to fade

Chatley Hull at +1 as is Lydia Ko and World #1 Karrie Webb. Catriona Matthew Level.

Watched a bit last night, Michelle Wie must have one of golfs nicest swings (putting excluded of course)

I thought it was a shame that there appears to be only 3 Brit's in the field, and I've seen no sight of Suzanne Petterson?

Exactly!

And yet instead of a top female pro competing in the season's first major, this "golf mag" chooses to put some non-golfer on the cover just 'cos she looks nice and has a golfer boyfriend.

Clever touch as well, posing with a golf club, and even holding the correct end......

Peterson is out injured

As for the OP - understand it's a fitness edition and she had an article about fitness tips for golfers that Dustin Johnson uses

Can't see what the problem is

 

[Albanach]

If they wanted to stick a woman on the cover they should have gone for someone more relevant - Blair O'Neal maybe. I buy golf mags to read about issues affecting golf, if I wanted to look at pictures like the Paulina cover then there's tonnes of lads mags out there. The fact that it's a fitness issue doesn't make a difference. Would it influence me to buy the mag...no (I've a digital subscription anyway). But as others have said it's got people talking about GD but IMO for the wrong reasons.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Does it really matter who is on the cover ?!

It could be a pink elephant on the front cover of GM - wouldn't make a blind bit of difference

 

[Coatsy79]

She's the great ones daughter!

Leave her alone :rofl:

 

[FairwayDodger]

I think this is a reasonable comment......

Given the last three women to grace Golf Digest’s covers aren’t professional golfers – Gretzky, supermodel Kate Upton, Golf Channel’s Holly Sonders – LPGA pros’ reactions were predictable.

“It’s frustrating for female golfers,” said two-time major championship winner Stacy Lewis, who has never been on Golf Digest’s cover. “We don’t get the respect for being the golfers we are.”

 

[Deleted member 15344]

So because Lewis hasn't been put on a golf magazine cover she isn't getting the respect ?

Why do they put dolly birds on the cover in preference to golfers?

Lets not discuss the big elephant in the room, Phil.

Why do they put dolly birds on the cover in preference to golfers?

Couldn't agree more, I wonder if Anne Widdecombe has taken up the game in her retirement.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Should it matter ?

A magazine is more than just the cover.

Would they still feel they had no respect if there was pick of a driver on the front cover ?

In recent years they also had Phelps , Jordan , and Condalessa ( spelling ) Rice on the front cover also

 

[Pin-seeker]

Why do they put dolly birds on the cover in preference to golfers?

Because she's nice to look at. Who wants to see Inbee Park on the cover
Now Paula Creamer or Michelle Wie & every ones a winner

Can't work out if you're being deliberately obtuse or if you genuinely don't get it. Either way, life's too short....
