LPGA commissioner Michael Whan said he was frustrated and disappointed that Paulina Gretzky was splashed across the cover of this month's Golf Digest and in their featured spreads in the magazine. "Obviously we’re disappointed and frustrated by the editorial direction (and timing) Golf Digest has chosen with the announcement of its most recent magazine cover," he said. "If a magazine called Golf Digest is interested in showcasing females in the game, yet consistently steers away from the true superstars who’ve made history over the last few years, something is clearly wrong."

Why else watch Ladies Golf?

Very Not Guilty!

Some people associate the LPGA with lesbians. I guess the bigshots are opposed to anything that might emphasize a more heterosexual aspect of the sport.

I can understand the frustration of the LPGA, but as someone who does not follow women’s golf or men’s golf, all I can say is that I would never know Golf Digest existed if not for their cover choice. Damn...they didn’t call Wayne Gretzky “the Great One” for nothing.

Where's Jan Stephenson when you need her?

[Safetgiver]

Wow! She got some nice Golfballs.

Her feet are too far apart for the loft on the club. She might want to unlock her knees, too.

Stephenson was/is much better looking than this picture shows. First time I’ve seen this pix though.

I would use my wood driver and hit that birdie til I was par for the course.

[Vendome]

Oh noes!!!!!

LOL

Re living her cover on a Disney DVD, as an adult....

[nascarnation]

My son in law, who is a PGA pro, calls the women’s tour “dykes on spikes”

Not universally though....LOL

[llevrok]

They still complain about Jan Stephenson. I don't. But "they" do

[Mastador1]

I wasn’t aware that this was the attire for the LPGA It, could be very good, or as bad as watching John Daly play in speedos.

[iowamark]

Why is a man the commissioner of the LPGA? Why isn’t he protesting himself?

[Chode]

OK, that's just wrong... damn

or to paraphrase Johnny, i bet that'll make a putter rise

[Chode]

thank you...

[DPMD]

Make that Natalie Bulbous.
