Lisa's "really good feeling" puts her 11 under

DANISH golfer Lisa Holm Sorensen has equalled the Ladies European Tour all time lowest round with an eleven-under-par 62 on a scorching first day at the SAS Ladies Masters.
The 26-year-old Dane posted eleven birdies at Larvik Golfklubb in Norway.
The record of eleven-under-par was previously set by England’s Kirsty Taylor during the first round of the 2005 Wales Ladies Championship and then equalled by Swede Nina Reis at last year’s Goteborg Masters at Lycke Golf Club in Sweden. However both courses were par 72s, unlike Larvik, which is a par 73.
“It feels great,” Lisa said later. “I actually thought the record was 15. I thought Annika had shot 15-under once. It feels wonderful. The game was great out there today. I didn’t make any mistakes and the few I made I had a really good score anyway. It has been one of those days. “
Lisa put it all down to hard work, mostly her backswing.
“I’ve been working hard on my swing over the last couple of months. I’ve been waiting for it all to click and it started in Ireland last week. I had a bad finish but I came here with a really good feeling, especially with my irons,” she said.
“I’ve been working on my swing; mostly my backswing, to use my wrists a little bit more on the way back. It’s taking quite a long time to get that operated in.”

Paula Creamer on the button

We're not sure whether to nominate Paula Creamer for the Love Those Lady Golfers Lady Golfer of the Year Award or not. We thought there would have been a flood of nominations for her from outside but there has been barely a trickle. Perhaps it is because naughty Natalie Gulbis has been hogging all the limelight. This is an old shot of Paula and it does show she goes to great lengths with her golf, even matching her driver shaft with her outfit. And we're not saying anything about the belly button. As long as it is pointing at the target line at some point during the follow through it is okay by us. We'll have to ponder this conundrum a lot further. That's a big and elegant (though very apt) word for what we do here.

The Golf Girl's Diary

Image
" Blogging is better in a bikini" according to Patricia Hannigan from the Golf Girl's Diary. I hope she doesn't mind if we say it is just one of her published opinions we agree with (at least the bikini thing in her case that is. It would not be one of our best looks). We've added Patricia's blog to try out Blogger's new blog link option (in the sidebar) that rather than just providing a static list, gives an update of the latest posts from your favourite blogs. We're sure we won't be dissapointed getting a regular update of what the Golf Girl is on about. After all, it's good to get an authentic female opinion on all matters life and golf, rather than some of the postulated crap that seems to flow so freely from our tiny minds. For instance, in her latest post, Patricia had a serious story to go with this photo of Natalie Gulbis. We just look at it and wonder if there is a band nearby, or is Natalie just marching to an inner tune only she can ...

"Designer" Golf Lingerie Set

AS much as I love golf balls (and lingerie too I guess) I am just not sure about the wisdom of combining them with a bra and pantie set. This "revolutionary golfing lingerie set" comes from the fabulous people at MioDestino, who sound all very ultra European designer chic until you realise they are just Pommies trying to make a quid with a bit of fun. Their thinking is, if men can't decide between playing a round, and playing around, they can combine the two. This is direct from the Mio Destino website: "Guys, would you rather…. a) Spend a cosy night in with your beautiful partner? b) Do a few rounds of golf with friends on a sunny Saturday afternoon? If you either answered b) or slightly hesitated then shame on you! Mio Destino is here to help you become a better man with a solution that means you won’t ever need to make that difficult decision again.The brand new golfing bra and knicker set from Mio Destino is the answer for all golf lovers who feel they neglect ...
