Women’s golf “star” Natalie Gulbis blew off a practice round for the US Women’s Open to hang out with her old boyfriend, Big Ben. And what Gulbis blew after that is anyone’s guess.

Gulbis, the tour’s calendar girl, went to Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier Tuesday and played some golf with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, her former boyfriend.

Roethlisberger, who has not been cleared by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to rejoin his teammates for voluntary offseason workouts, has said he has maintained a friendly relationship with Gulbis, a one-time winner on the LPGA Tour. –Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Keep in mind that Gulbis is the same brainiac that got the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial confused, so there’s no telling what her special day with The Ben entailed. I’m sorry, I’m not big on the name-calling or the sarcasm, but I’m blown away that she couldn’t name a monument that any 9-year-old in this country would recognize. Of course, that all works in Ben’s favor. Ben probably built a fort out of couch cushions and told her it was his summer house. And it worked, too, because girls like to travel.

He very well could be, at least as far as Esquire magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” tournament is concerned.

Heading into Esquire magazine’s so-called “Sexiest Woman Alive Madness” tournament as the Sports bracket’s Number 16 seed, USC head coach Lane Kiffin has shocked the world by making amazingly easy work of the Number 1 seed, Natalie Gulbis, in the first round. By defeating the gorgeous golfer by a whopping margin of 56% to 44%, Kiffin has advanced to the second round and will now face auto racing Danica Patrick in the Round of 32.

According to the mag, “both have broken barriers for women in sports, and Patrick is tough as they come. But the USC coach is just so… sweet.” (note: the “sweet” alluded to is in reference to this tweet by Kiffin, where he informed his Twitter followers that “Bon jovi was awesome last night!!” When aren’t they, Lane? When aren’t they?

Here is how Esquire sees the upcoming battle between Kiffin and Patrick:

LANE KIFFIN, 34
• Such a pretty girl. Sure raises a ruckus.

DANICA PATRICK, 28
• The prettiest thing in racing since Jeff Gordon.

It is sure to be a thrilling battle of epic proportions between the two lovely ladies – as thrilling as a flawed online vote can be where a person is theoretically allowed to vote multiple times, that is. With that said, be sure to vote here for Kiffin as many times as possible. Few things come to mind that would be more entertaining (in a nightmare fuel kind of way) than Kiffin somehow claiming the title as 2010′s Sexiest Woman Alive and the subsequent sultry photo shoot, a la 2009′s winner, Kate Beckinsale. Scary stuff.

So a team of women’s golf all-stars are in DC to visit the White House and also to, hopefully, get a a geography lesson. Here’s an image pulled from the Twitpic account of the LPGA’s Natalie Gulbis, who, in her Tweet, couldn’t tell the difference between the Washington Monument (pictured) and the Lincoln Memorial. Here’s a hint: the Lincoln Memorial looks like Lincoln. And five points to Enrico_Palazzo_, who already took Natalie to task, right before slapping her on the ass and sending her to the fridge for another beer. Pig. Via KOGOD. Also.

I guess this video has been around for some time, but if I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me.

It needs a minimum amount of setup, but here goes: during a practice round or something, golf goddess Natalie Gulbis bets her caddy five bucks she can hit a friend of hers taking a nap in the empty stands. Hilarity ensues, although I can think of much better ways in which I would like Natalie to get me up.

You know, with a few sprays of rose water to lift me from my slumber followed by a nice cup of Earl Gray tea. I assume what I just wrote could be twisted into meaning something sexual in nature, but I checked and couldn’t find anything on Urban Dictionary. Usually they’re all over that.

Phil from Gunaxin put together a MIGHTY spread of Natalie Gulbis images; the collection is vast and impressive. Phil also makes a good point that, compared to all the other women on the internet, we may not rank Natalie as “hot,” but she’s definitely “golf hot.” Though I’m not sure I would take her body or her game over those of Morgan Pressel, Paula Creamer (Creamer? I barely know her!), or Michelle Wie.

Does that mean that I would ever kick her out of bed for eating crackers? Not a chance. My favorites are after the jump.

These pictures of ladygolfer Natalie Gulbis are either recent or a couple months or several years old.  Who's to say?  Natalie Gulbis is still alive, right?  I kind of lost track of her after that forgettable dating-Ben-Roethlisberger period.

Oh I'm sorry.  Is this not news?  Let check the front page story on ESPN.com… "Sticking Point: MLB's new anti-doping policy will be the strongest in pro sports. It also will be obsolete. A pilot program called longitudinal testing, experts say, represents a much better way. Mark Fainaru-Wada, T.J. Quinn"

So let's recap.  Over there: lots of words about steroid tests in baseball.  Here: long-legged big-boobed blonde golfer wearing a short skirt and tight sweater.  Welcome to the future of sports media.
