Baby Got Back Nine?!? I KNEW I Was Remiss in Not Taking Up Golf at Some Earlier Point in Time. Pebble Beach Should Have a Front Side So Nice...




Just wait until curmudgeony Kansas City golf legend and ardent traditionalist Tom Watson gets a load of this! He's liable to blow his bunker.

But to me, it's good to see a bit of the contemporary casual craze -- which has previously given us such blessings as bluejeans Friday, No-ID-necessary voting, and Casey Anthony -- make a new dent in the world of golf. Address that ass!

The above photo "gallery" shows former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell showing off her back lip over the Fourth of July weekend in Sardinia, Italy. Wearing little more than a two-piece "frilly pink bikini" with boyfriend Henry Beckwith, "Ginger" Spice showed that maybe they should have called her "Sporty" after she lit up the links with a healthy dose of T&A.

And it couldn't have been so easy to swing that sand wedge in a pair of "sky-high wedges" that looked to be straight out the old video for "Wannabe." Just to top off the bogey slice, Ginger wore a big straw hat reportedly to keep her skin "safe" from the sun and heat -- sort of like that little bikini was obviously designed.

The whole look most likely gave anyone else on the course at the time a good case of the yips, which would have personally led me to demand a penalty stroke from the British bombshell's back door. Either that, or a mulligan down in the rough.

No word on Ginger's golfing handicap, but I'd guess about a 34-D -- but no lay up. Regardless, there's nothing flat about that swing. I'd give her a course rating around 7 or 8, which makes the cut even on a bad day on the fairway. I bet Beckwith had no trouble with his long game or letting go of his five-wood...

Especially after he hit the nineteenth hole with his broad for a little vardon grip and scratch play out-of-bounds once their racy round of golf was over. No word whether Ginger nailed her snake (putt) at that point, but Beckwith definitely climbed to the top of her leader board before making his drop.
