Discontent in Gulbis Camp
It’s no surprise, but it appears there’s some discontent in the Gulbis camp and the two combatants are Natalie’s coach Butch Harmon, and her father John. Harmon was quoted as saying, “Someone’s gonna have to change, either him or me”. This was in response to remarks made by John Gulbis when he said that part of the blame of Natalie’s lack of performance should fall on Harmon.
Sadly, John Gulbis has the same problem as Michelle Wie’s father, and it’s that they can’t stay out of their respective daughter’s lives. Natalie’s biggest problem is that she has too many off-course demands and that takes away from her tournament preparation, and it’s showing this year worse than it has in the past.
Gulbis has great ball-striking capability, but one thing that needs to change is her putting style. Yes, how you putt is largely what feels good and as long as you can square the putter face at impact, that’s all that should matter. But Natalie’s putting stroke seems contrived, and most top-notch professional golfers (men or women) use a standard type of setup and stroke.
She has some obstacles to overcome this year if she wants to remain an elite player.
