Back in the 80’s, Australian ladies golfer Jan Stephenson was the LPGA Tour’s pin-up and once famously posed naked for a calendar by sitting in a bath tub of golf balls. As a straight talking Aussie, Jan noted that as the golfing viewers were predominantly male (and visual !?!), girls in the sport needed to promote sex appeal to encourage it’s development.

Although controversial in it’s time, and no doubt since then, some modern day woman golfers have taken a leaf out of Jan’s book, I have some difficulty disagreeing with her - and I’m very disappointed with myself

The reason I mention all of this, is that down under they’ve put a modern twist on the theme (well, not so much of a ‘twist’, rather ‘recreated’) to promote the Handa Australia Cup at the Nedlands Golf Club.  Young Aussie golfer, Danielle Montgomery, took up the challenge by ‘bathing’ semi-naked in a bath tub filled with golf balls.  Interesting how many golf legends were on hand to offer their support - no doubt in a visual sort of way!
