You’ll have to blink twice to see Natalie Gulbis in a Mastercard commercial that appeared during sweeps week this spring and throughout the golf season.
In the ad, a young woman decides that she needs help with her golf game after playing a round with a few guys who are rolling their eyes at her, one of them gazing down at his watch. Isn’t that the way it usually is though, ladies? No matter how well we play, men will always prefer playing golf with other men.
This young woman gives herself a complete makeover from the etching on her golf bag to the golf clothes she sports in the hopes that her game will improve and she can make the guys realize that she is a force to be reckoned with. Her instructor, Natalie, helps her read greens, etc, so that she can easily destroy the guys’ egos after her transformation.
Miraculously, by the end of the ad, the woman (identified only by the monogram SMK) smacks her drive as well as Natalie Gulbis! The men, their mouths agape, would probably still prefer to play with their buddies after this round, but probably for different reasons. I mean, what guy wants to be beaten by a girl?
Are there really some things money can’t buy?
