She's a Facebook friend and a dedicated blogger, a French girl who played college golf in New Mexico while earning a degree in international business. Gwladys Nocera is one of the world's top golfers, and she won on a windswept course yesterday, at the New Zealand Women's Open.
My French husband discovered Gwladys' blog last spring and we've been following it ever since. She posts regularly, in an ultra heartfelt, slice-of-life style that reveals the glories... and the hardships... of her life as a professional golfer. The language of the blog is, of course, French, so you may need to brush up on what you learned back in high school. But Gwladys also posts lots of photos, videos and just random bits about her hobbies and interests (the bits about French cuisine are particularly appetising).
The photo of Gwladys above, is by another ultra-talented citizen of France, Patrick Micheletti. Patrick captures golf and golfers like no one else, often finding the unique detail or magical moment that makes a really memorable photograph. Patrick's daily photoblog has long been a favorite of mine and I'd highly recommend it to any fan of professional golf. Oh, and of course there, no translation is needed.
Gwladys has been voted LET "Player's Player of the year" twice. This is voted by the fellow players and show the kind of respect there is for her wide reaching talent and skills.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to read in an American blog writing about her.
Patrick's photographs are indeed stunning. I've been a regular at his site since you first wrote about him over a year ago and I'm never disappointed. :)
ReplyDeletePatricia, thanks for Patrick's site. Fabulous pix...
ReplyDeleteAnd, why isn't Gwladys playing on the LPGA tour?
Great pic of Gwladys (pronunciation please?) marking her ball. Line through the ProV stamp... and then what's her marking across the logo???
ReplyDeleteperhaps a new mission for Patrick?

ReplyDeleteI heard a caddie was telling jokes after a round and Gwladys and a few other LET members walked up on them. The caddy announced to everyone that the joke he was about to tell was so funny, the females present would laugh their "ta-ta's" off. Then he looked closely at Gwladys and said, "Oh, Gwladys, I see you've already heard it"...
ReplyDeleteYes, it is nice to see the LET getting some attention here in the States. We tend to think that the only women's tour is the LPGA, and while the LPGA is the biggest one, there are some fine golfers who swing their sticks on the LET and other tours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about Gwladys, GG. Yours is a fine blog so I am not surprised.
