Paulina on the Cover

[BestGrips.com]

Paula is NOT > Paulina. But there's no way Paulina should have been on the cover. I dig me some Paula, but Paulina is super hot. Paula is by far the hottest golfer, though.

 

Time for an eye exam? She looks like Wayne with long hair and a girl's body. 

[HighFade]

She has a face?

HAHAHAHA!

[BIG STU]

+1 to Winn. Did she just drop off the face of the Earth of what?

Someone asked the same question on another blog (WRX) and someone in the know said that the GC did not renew her contract for whatever reasons not made public

[BIG STU]

As far as what they put in a magazine I could give two hoots less. I know my better half saw the story on GC and was ticked off to say the least. Not to be condoning them but the honest truth is that they are in business to sell magazines and make money. Like someone else said sex sells and money is the bottom line after all. My wife did ask me if I read the magazine I told her that I did not subscribe to or read any golf magazines. I told her I got all my golf news from on here or GWRX or watched the Golf Channel which is the truth

[RookieBlue7]

Hahahahahaha... Gretzkys reproduce the cover

 

[GolfSpy WD]

There's a video now too! I bet the folks are Golf Digest are hating all the attention this cover has generated. Next time they'll play it safer I'm sure.

Glad that I cancled my subsription...  Content has slipped dramtically, nothing but ads with an occasional aritcle tucked in here and there.

I've debated doing the same.  It seems like there's less and less substance every year. I'd much prefer to have a real female golfer, rather than someone who posed with her free Speed Blade 6 iron.

 

If I wanted scantily clad women in a magazine, I'd buy a Playboy and sharpie all the good bits.  I can't imagine what these people at GD were thinking.

They were probably thinking let's generate some interest in our magazine, and have.  Good or bad it sold.  Just look at the talk here and everywhere else.  It probably is selling more than the Hot List Issue. 

 

I have mine, but it is still unopened.  Not that I have anything against her, just that my wife handed it to me from the mail box and I knew better than to open it and start ogling it and sort of forgot about it.

[bcgolf]

I fail to see what the fuss is about.  It's a goodlooking girl, she's linked with sports through her dad, she's linked with golf through DJ.  Sex sells ...

[SeeRed]

So, oddly enough I canceled my GD subscription maybe two years ago and I still received the Paulina issue (hadn't received an issue in almost a year). Weird. Trying to entice me to renew, maybe? What it did was remind me of one of the reasons why I canceled in the first place.

So you didn't read the article on how to gain 45 yards then?  Turns out all you need to do is swing up at the ball.  Lucky for you that you are not in my foursome this weekend, because we are gonna do a lot of waiting on the tee box.  I'm going to be very afraid of blasting into the guys in front of us with my new distance.

Damn! Knew I shouldn't have thrown that rag- er, mag- in the trash so quickly! I'll have to fish it out get my 45 yards.

You are wise beyond your years, young man.

 

 

I disagree.

 

Paulina and today's girls who have learned to dress like her, is simply a product of the times. My own model was Elvis, hot rods and girls with sweaters worn as capes... pretty much like the kids portrayed in " GREASE " and " American Pie". Yes, I also carried a comb in my hip pocket. Paulina is undoubtedly under the influence of current day Korean show bands, though there are plenty of present day fashions of that variety. It really is as unfair to accuse them of lack of morality or poor judgement as it was to accuse us of being budding hoodlums or JD's. Passing judgement on the basis of appearance is a lazy man's attempt at intellect.

 

A pretty girl is a pretty girl regardless of how she's dressed, but the girls never really believe they are pretty unless they are dressed in the latest fashion.

I didn't call her immoral, I just said that I prefer women who respect themselves enough to not show themselves off to everyone through skimpy clothing. I'm not labeling Paulina or any girl like this as bad, immoral, or anything like that. Like I said, everyone has different opinions about something like this, just my thoughts on the matter.

What is a "Korean show band"?

[ZenGolfer]

Agree on Paulina not deserving to be on the cover.  Shes not even a golfer, shes just a somewhat pretty girl who is dating/married to/whatever a pro golfer.

It is what it is though, Im sure GD thought having her on the cover would help them sell magazines.

I probably used the wrong word in this instance. I just dislike blanket judgemental statements and prefer the world be viewed from a more whole perspective than the whole be judged from specifics.

It's more often described as K-POP. Rock groups that dress up their stars to emphasize youth with imaginative haircuts for the men and the women come out in fashions that emphasize the face and long slim legs.

 

They make some nice sounding songs but I have no idea of what they are singing about. However I think there will come a melding of fashions between the east and west given a little time, unless a better idea presents itself.

I agree somewhat. A more subtle message is that golf can be a nice dating place and a fun thing for young people as an activity and not the exclusive place of fat middle aged men. In that sense, Paulina serves well as a messenger.

She may not be the greatest golfer but she's certainly a 10 in my book!
