Am I the Only One Who Finds Greg Norman Scary?


With his icy blue eyes and weird platinum blonde hair he's always reminded me of some kind of Aryan alien. The shark hat always looked kind of sinister to me too, and I've heard he can be less than friendly with media people. Well apparently none of this bothers Chris Evert. She's going out with him. Not that they're admitting it. The most they've said is that they're "close friends". Come on, didn't they ever see When Harry Met Sally? If they had, they'd know that "a man and a woman can never be friends, without sex getting in the way".

My friend fellow blogger Nigel, from Illogical Golf Blog tipped me of to this rumored romance. He blogged about it a couple of days ago while I'd totally missed it. It wasn't even on my who's-dating-who-golf-gossip radar. I guess I just don't picture 50+ year-olds dating, and they're both 51. I was right there when Sergio got together with Mr. Norman's daughter, but news of these sentimental seniors took me by surprise. I wish them well though. And they might want to check out Dr. Ruth's new book That is, when they become more than "close friends".

  1. Don't you know that 50 is the new 30?

    They're not THAT old...trust me, you'll be there before you know it, and it'll scare the pants off of you...

    Plus, Greg was THE coolest golfer back in the '80's - he and Fred Couples were the first of the "new breed" of athlete golfers that followed in Arnold Palmer's wake...

  3. Allow me to be frank...

    With Norman's kind of money, why pick a past-her-prime ex-tennis star?

  4. I know,I know...I realize 50's the new 30, and I totally celebrate it. It's just that our society is so youth obsessed that a story of over 50 romance still takes one by surprise. Hopefully that'll change with this generation.

    They may be from the same generation but, Fred Couples = Cuddly / Greg Norman = Scary...in my book at least. ;o)

    I hadn't noticed the publisher's name on the Dr. Ruth book. That is funny! ;o}

    Obviously they're both in it for more than sex, cause the same could be said for her. She certainly has the means to choose someone sexier than him...if thats what it was all about. 8-/

  6. Yeah, she looks a little bit like a man in drag there. What I find scary about Norman is he is still wearing those wide brimmed hats.

  9. Mike, you're so cute when you're mad. I am a regular reader, I assure you and I thought the story sounded familiar when I read it a few days ago. So it was you who broke it to the glogosphere. Funny I never saw you as a gossip columnist at all...you're getting hotter by the minute.

  11. Mike,

    Get real...Pat is not that interested in you. She simply knows how to make a man tick. She definitely can see a sucka like you from a mile away.

  14. I believe Greg Norman have played a creepy villian in at least 14 James Bond movies. You can look it up.

  15. That's a bad picture of her - I google imaged Evert, and let me tell you, she's hotter than many 20 somethings, a MILF. She's got a buff little body. The tennis roundup website has pics from her black tie dinners, she looks amazing.

    Greg is a bit scary in some pics, though.
