It's been fun reading this thread. I have to say that I know Natalie and her dad personally. I think you guys are headed down the wrong fairway on some things and right on on others. The show never was designed to be some slick produced program. However, if you watched all 4 shows, the last 2 were different than the first 2 in that they appeared to be differently produced. TGC took the show over from the original producer and it is set go for a couple more years, I believe, as it is a multi year deal.

Well, don't keep us in suspense! What is your take on the predominate opinion here as to her dad being an obvious and overly controlling stage parent? Based on what you know, does this kid have the mental moxie to actually win on tour or is she forever doomed to be 'pretty in pink'? I agree that reality shows aren't designed to be 'slick', but so far the guests (Butch, Christie, Paula) have seemed a tad more interesting than the star.

Is there anything behind that smile?

Natalie is a wonderful, smart talented girl. She has what it takes to win. Given her looks as well and her involvement off the course, she might take a tad longer to win. A couple of things here. 1. Beating Annika isn't really being done by anybody too often when Annika is in a tournament. 2. The asian invasion has really changed the dynamics of the tour as well, making it harder to win in recent times as well. Not excuses, just pointing out the way it is today compared to years ago. She made huge strides last year, lets see what 2006 brings. Is age 22 the end of one's career or the beginning?

As for her dad. He is a dad. She wouldn't be in position to be where she is today, making millions, without her dad. Off camera he's a funny funny guy. What you see edited in ANY tv show is always what they want you to see. Is he a saint? Of course not. But the impression you seem to always see is not necessarily 100% accurate. Everyone has their moments. My 16 year old son plays high school baseball well enough to be recruited. Do I find myself pushing him to be better, tougher, all the time. You bet I do. No matter who it is in life that has succeeded, has always had a mentor of some kind. In business or athletics, someone to give them the good and the bad...to help them follow their dream and stay on the right road most of the time.

For someone who lists their golf clubs in their forum signature, probably not.

There's a difference between pushing someone to do better and saying to some fans following her in a tournament "Man that sucked, she's playing like ass. When will she learn?"

Well we are on another issue here. That I would say is personality issues. Certainly some people don't know how to keep things to themselves. I would agree with you that comments need to be kept internal. There are plenty of bosses that ridicule employees in public and that is wrong. She can't fault his personality or methods. Noone chooses their parents. He doesn't follow her on the course much if any anymore for perhaps some of these reasons.

Because to me it's just as silly as someone posting their golf clubs.

Again, it's a golf forum. We're interested in what each other is using because, for example, if I'm looking to buy Club X and Bob is playing Club X, I know to ask him what he thinks.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
