Model Golfer

if you dont think this is a good thing, then you must also hate your mother.

This is not what I expected. I thought somebody got their disc returned or something. This is better because it combines two of my favorite interests.

Fashion and what else?

Jay Dub - I lost sleep the night I saw that and have been trying to forget about it ever since...

Even the ad must have worked if it kept you up... longer... hopefully not more than 4 hours...

You're pages behind SUPERDISKPRO. It doesn't matter anymore.

Red heads!

THAT'S what I'm talking about!

 

[TonyAPE12]

It's not a matter of coordinating outfits since my outfit typically is color coordinated as well. But someone who shows up to a tournament with bright red lipstick and has to change her bag between days to match her next outfit seems like she's there to pick up a date rather than play a "serious" sport. I'm all for more women in the sport, but as soon as some "hot" chick starts playing, every guy bends over backward for them. Where's the hype for the mediocre looking, good female disc golfers?

 

[jobwilson]

She offers something new and radically different than what we are used to (not that there aren't some very attractive women already playing).
But she is a fashion model for Christ's sake. This is not taking it to the next level.. this skips a few levels. Naturally, a girl of her "caliber" is going to get a bunch of dudes hyped up!

Is there something wrong with color coordination??? Look good, feel good, play with confidence. :thmbup: for Holly.

 

[JBryant]

By "look good" I mean the way you present yourself. Whether you are a super model or not doesn't make one difference if you present yourself in a way that exudes confidence on the course.

 

[jobwilson]

Great point! Maybe she plays better if she coordinates. That really makes sense. It's been proven (I think) that when a person feels comfortable about their appearance, they are more confident and thus perform better (whether on the course or in the boardroom).

I would imagine that a fashion model has very high standards for her appearance. Let the girl do her thing!

I really think that's what's going on here. Disc Golf in general has a (somewhat) monolithic look and feel to it. Holly breaks that mold ten ways to Sunday, and that's what is so fun about her interest.

If the Queen of England decided she was into NASCAR, it'd be exciting for some and weird others out. Thankfully in our situation, I think the general consensus is a big "welcome!" for Holly!

The fun thing about any lesser-known sport/hobby is the immense unifying power it has. People from all backgrounds, incomes, and lifestyles all share something in common--and that's ultimately what's so cool.

 

[discmeister]

TonyApe is hilarious; A model looking for a date amongst disc golfers. Then he call all other ladies mediocre.

 

[jobwilson]

I just want to say something.
Let me preface that I graduated with a BS (Pun intended) in Marketing. While I may have wasted away most of my college years on Miller High Life (and other things), I did pick up a few things.

If one of the major disc manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, promoters, etc. haven't swooped this girl up yet, then they really don't understand Marketing and Promotions.

 

[BrotherDave]

Set TonyAPE on fire!!! Murder his children! Rape his vegetable garden!!!!

 

[Disc Fiend]

Isn't this the same girl who was on the Golf Dudes/Golf Guy promo video for women's disc golf?

Yup.

 

[Tpro]

I get what TonyApe is saying. He's right! Yeah its cool that a super model is playing meow and doing well. I just hope the "mediocre looking, good female disc golfers" get the same treatment she does. I can only imagine the "hey, how you doin' " approaches shes had ... Psh what am I saying Ladies love that, Bring on more girls/ladies/women to the sport and I think everyone will be more happy.
