Dubai - The Cosmopolitain Cast of Golf Girls














I started this week in Dubai and that's where I'm winding it up; in that sparkling city on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, currently hosting the LET Dubai Ladies Masters.

Annika Sorenstam took the lead today and appears to setting up a classic fairytale ending to her storied career. Other awesome international golf girls at the top of the leaderboard are Australian, Nikki Garret, Russian, Maria Verchenova, Italian, Veronica Zorzi, English, Johanna Head and German, Anja Monke.

With such a multitude of different nationalities it sounds more like a Miss World pagent than a golf tournament. The fact that they're all beautiful undoubtedly adds to that somewhat superficial perception.

Golf in Dubai has a comprehensive site for the event that includes a daily photo gallery. The photo above is Anna Rawson and Maria Verchenova, both look pretty amazing, stunning gorgeous. There I go sounding superficial again. Sorry, I'll try to avoid that in the future.

  1. I'm sure Annika's comeback was exciting, that crowd is definitely pulling for her. It's her last tournament and she's the defending champion. That's pretty big.

  3. It's only good for the women's game! I'm sure Annika will pull it out of the bag and Miss World will be a worthy winner ;)

  5. Gorgeous doesn't win golf tournaments, great golf does. But there's nothing wrong with looking fabulous while winning!

  6. Well, you know what they say, "It's better to look good than to be good." :) Fortunately for these talented ladies - they can do both at the same!

  7. I showed the guys in the studio the picture of Maria Verchenova - needless to say, they were ready to take up golf. (she was spectacular in her red dress in the third round)

    Don't forget that Johanna Head has a twin sister - Samantha, who was on Big Break Ka'anipali.

  8. Anon 10:43 - there are always a few in every decade (we'll never forget Laura Baugh and Jan Stephenson !), but technology has made it much easier for women with smaller frames to swing the clubs with the much bigger women.

Sadly enough a lot of the people that all of a sudden come to with millions of Guild Wars Gold almost overnight probably duped .
