Get non-threatening instruction from a hot woman, with Play Golf Designs.

Based in Vegas, but available throughout the U.S. and Canada, PGD offers your group (or just you) a roster of attractive female instructors who've succeeded everywhere from the NCAA, to the Duramed Futures Tour, to the LPGA, and whose temperaments allow them to set aside pride and informally instruct guys who pretty much just suck.

How it works: first, select the # of girls you'd like, then pick your top choices based on accolades (“NCAA All-American”, “Female Golfer of the Year”, "Sexiest Golfer in the World”) and a gallery featuring both action shots, and shots taken in impossibly short shorts and heels.

On game day, you’ll start with an hour clinic (chipping, putting, the dreaded flop shot), then hit the course, learning by watching/ogling, and from an instructional method that mixes kindness, understanding, and a touch of sweet passive aggression.

MAV TV: Can you beat an LPGA Pro?

MavTv: November 20, 2008 - If you can’t play a round of golf with Tiger Woods, a hot girl who can actually play may be the next best thing — if your ego can stand the whipping.

Image: "Amber Prange is quite the athlete - and easy on the eyes too!"
I just found out about this company, Play Golf Designs, that sets up concierge golf events with some of the best female golf pros in the world. You can tee-up with top pros including LPGA and NCAA superstars — all of whom happen to be HOT!

Just be aware these aren’t cute girls who will sit on your lap and squeal (although the eye candy is undeniably sweet). Prepare to manage your ego, behave thyself and get schooled, bro.

InGameNow & Sports Illustrated's "World's Hottest Athlete" Contest

Six Play Golf Designs' Professionals have been selected and featured by InGameNow.com and Sports Illustrated/SI.com's World Hottest Athlete Contest. Now it's down to the Elite Eight! With Blair O'Neal and Kim Hall still in the hunt for the top vote, Play Golf Designs looks promising in this contest. Even though Seema Sadekar knocked off Perry Swenson Round 1, Blair swept Seema in Round 2. PGD Professionals' Anna Rawson and Tina Miller swept through their respective Round 1 matches, but when facing off in Round 2, Anna managed to close the deal when the polls were tallied. Blair then won against Anna, but as luck may have it she will now face off against Kim Hall. Kim swept the W7 division bracket, but can she pull through against fellow PGD Professional Blair O'Neal in the Elite Eight? Only one can move on to the Final Four...

You can cast your vote at http://blog.ingamenow.com/ by clicking on VOTE.
