The
Natalie Gulbis Show aired last night at 10pm EST on
The Golf Channel. In my opinion, the best so far, at least from a production standpoint.
If you read my preview below from yesterday, you can see I was misled by information posted on the Golf Channel Web Site themselves.
"Natalie plays a practice round at the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill with Danielle, the winner of The Golf Channel's Big Break 3. Natalie & Se Ri Pak shoot the LPGA's new print campaign, "These Girls Rock!" Natalie & fellow LPGA beauty Cristie Kerr spend a day at the spa. Natalie, Kelli Kuehne, and Paula Creamer spend the rain delay at Kingsmill playing poker. Natalie finishes the Michelob Ultra Open T-3, her best finish ever, which still isn't good enough for her father." That was not the content of episode 4 at all.
Actually, the show starts with a bowling adventure in Atlantic City with Paula Creamer. The girls have a blast, bowling 2 handled, throwing a bunch of gutter balls and all. It's nice to see them in a relaxed environment, dressed down from their daily TaylorMade Adidas golf attire. Natalie looks just as fine in a BeBe top!!!!!
Natalie and Paula then head out for a practice round together. They apparently have become good friends and like to push each other on the golf course to play better. Somewhere along the way, Natalie decides she is going to hit a 55 yard pitch shot at a friend or associate that is laying resting on some empty bleachers that surround one of the holes. True to form, after she learns of the exact distance from her caddy, Natalie hits him square on the shin sending him rolling off the bleachers after being hit with no warning and probably some pain. The show cuts to Natalie kneeling on the ground with her face buried in her hands. Funny, funny part!!!!
Of course what would The
Natalie Gulbis Show be without some fun with her dad John Gulbis. Back to Atlantic City we go to see Natalie and dad playing Blackjack. Under the usual direction of father to daughter, Natalie has some fun but proceeds to lose all her money!! So much for being a world traveler and being able to play blackjack. Next up is the Craps table where they have some success and fun in a "team atmosphere". They look like the type of people you love to just watch have fun inside a casino, win or lose.
Up next is a glimpse of Natalie's incredibly popular FHM Magazine Photo Shoot. It was a first class shoot and we all know the results were top notch. That said... Natalie is named one of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women In The World!!!!!!
While in Cherry Hills, Colorado (Denver) this past June, 2 exciting events happened involving Natalie while she was there to compete in the 2005 U.S. Women's Open. Both were filmed for the Natalie Gulbis Show. The first, a private signing with her exclusive memorabilia company
ItsAlreadySigned4U.com, took place in the evening after Round 1 at the host family's house that Natalie was staying with for the week. All the action of Natalie signing exclusive photos, hats, golf balls, and pin flags was captured on tape. It's interesting to see how Natalie and John Gulbis handle the private signing of hundreds of items without a hitch. Hopefully that portion will be aired soon in a future show. The second exiting event, which did air in this episode, was Natalie being invited to throw out the first pitch at a Colorado Rockies baseball game. Natalie is a little delayed getting to the ballpark and while being shown around by Rockies' employee Jim Kellogg, takes some ribbing from the players for being late for batting practice. The Rockies present her with a jersey, complete with her name on the back, that eventually gets autographed by all the players while she is wearing it! After a short warm-up catch with one of the players, Natalie throws out the first pitch perfectly, and is lookin great doin it. During the game Natalie makes an appearance in the Rockies' TV Booth and sits in a bit on the broadcast answering some questions for the announcers. All in all we see Natalie enjoying a great trip to Denver!
The show ends with some action with Natalie at the season ending ADT Championship in West Palm Beach, Florida. Natalie made a nice check for the event, but more importantly, pushed herself over the $1,000,000 mark in tour earnings for 2005! Done without a win, that is a great accomplishment...to be in contention that many times and win checks big enough to add up to that much is amazing. As fans, we all know her first win is just around the corner.
This show seemed to be produced a little differently than the first three. The composition and the way the clips were pieced together seemed to have a much better feel this time around.
Be sure to watch a repeat showing of The Natalie Gulbis Show by picking a good time from this
schedule. The Natalie Gulbis Show airs Tuesday nights at 10pm EST on The Golf Channel.
