Gulbis Marketing Machine Marches On
In case you missed it, USA Today had full page spread (no pun intended) on Natalie Gulbis today that featured obligatory photos from interesting angles, and a minute-by-minute diary of her day. I’ve said all along that Gulbis has tons of potential, but for now, it’s all she has. This USA Today spread literally confirms the point that she’s spending too much time marketing her looks and not enough time on the range.
Maybe she’s accepted the fact she’s this generation’s Laura Baugh. Sells tons of newspapers, calendars, and magazines, but doesn’t quite have the goods to win on the LPGA. Even more sad is that this article should have been about Lorena Ochoa, and her rise to the number spot in the world. But the mainstream media as well as joe six-pack, likes the babes blonde and blue-eyed, and Ochoa doesn’t fit that requirement in the least.
