The girls are all more or less gorgeous, and it looks like a number of them can actually play the game. Others pose very
They're contestants in the 2009 Miss Golf Contest, and they've got names like Markéta and Eliška and Taťána. Yep, you guessed it...or maybe not...this purposeful pageant takes place in the Czech Republic. As a result, the Miss Golf website is entirely in Czech, thus depriving us non-speakers of what I'm guessing are some fascinating factoids about the comely contestants. However pictures, as they say, are worth a thousand words, and these are some pretty pictures.
It seems there's quite a bit of golf going on in the landlocked Central European country. Cherubic-looking WorldGolf travel writer Brandon Tucker often covers the golf courses... and malt beverages... of the Czech Republic, and has given both good reviews. Then there's the awesome Alex Čejka. He recently took a five-shot lead into the final round of the 2009 Players Championship after rounds of 66, 67, and 72. A final meltdown led to 79 and an eight-stroke loss to Henrik Stenson, however he definitely put himself on the map as the PGA poster-boy for Czech golf.
Back to Miss Golf though. The way I became aware of this quixotic contest was through the Miss Golf Group on Facebook. The funny thing is this group isn't exactly promoting the Miss Golf contest, but rather one of its contestants, who happens to be... the sister of the Facebook group's founder. The group description is as follows:
Some really unimportant miss competition in Czech republic. But, please, vote for my sister (or at least not for the others girl:)) Kamila Mačátová (i can make her have rendez-vous with you after:). Thanks a lot.
You can't make this stuff up.
I'm already casting my vote for the girl with the fewest accents, umlauts or thingamajigs over her name.
ReplyDeleteCool idea. They should make a movie out of the contest. Maybe "Swingers, the Sequel."
ReplyDeleteThere are way too many buddy movies these days, not enough Czech flicks.
I wonder what she means by rendez-vous...exactly???
ReplyDeletewow here you go again , thats why i love your site and the game of golf you do it so well
ReplyDeleteTracy
All I can say is that I'm so happy we're playing golf now because we have vast choices of fashionable outfits to choose from unlike before...I like the first picture!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a Czechmate...this is promising.
ReplyDeleteIn Poland we have all sorts of beauty pagents too, a friend of mine was a runner up in Miss Polonia. We made fun of her of course. ;)
ReplyDelete"...I can make her have a rendez-vous with you after."
ReplyDeleteIt sounds Kamila's sister is moonlighting as her pimp. ;)
Wait a minute. That middle pic is none other than ashgolf!
ReplyDeleteI take back my vote for the girl with the fewest accents, umlauts and thingamajigs over her name.
I think the Czechs have more girls in the "Miss Golf" contest than they have golf courses...
ReplyDeleteI vote for you, Patricia...
