For those of you who read my blog on a regular basis you
know I don’t have any time for people who don’t dress the part while playing
golf. You also are aware of the heated
blog post I made about Paulina Gretzky last year…when she was on the cover of
there annual fitness magazine.
This year Golf Digest has out done themselves. Lexi
Thompson appears on the cover of the May “Fitness and Power” issue wearing
little more than a blue golf glove and black yoga pants. She’s covered on top
with a towel that’s wrapped around her neck.
First off Lexi you look amazing and as the magazine says you
are a statement of Fitness and Power.
However, having said that I have a problem with while Thompson is topless, the women who appeared
on the cover before her — Wie, Gretzky and Sonders — each also showed some skin
on the cover. While the men, outside of McIlroy, rarely show more than their
forearms. I’m just saying we have some extremely
fit PGA studs on tour and all we see is their forearms not exactly fair…
At least this
time they got a successful LPGA player for this Fitness and Power addition
since Paulina is a model not a golfer.
Lexi is a 6 time LPGA champion and works hard on tour. She tweeted out the cover last week with the
#girlpower. Your right that is a badass
cover Lexi.
PGA teaching
pro Chance Scheffing told CBS New York: 'I wasn’t sure if it was a
Playboy ad, or if it was a Golf Digest ad.'
Golfer
Morella Carta added: 'I just think that this is a detriment to women, because
I’d like to be recognized by being a good golfer; not about how my body looks
like in the front page of a magazine. 'I think
that if we allow this to happen, we will never get to the place where we should
be.'
It’s a little more then what I think is appropriate but at least they have a 6 time LPGA champ on the cover!
