Natalie Gulbis Quotations

When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.

Hawaii was beautiful of course, we played at Turtle Bay an amazing resort right on the ocean.

Pebble Beach. It is tough and the lay out is amazing.

You learn so much from competition you gain confidence every time you have to step up and perform.

As many of you know I travel a good bit and do not get to see my friends and family as much as I would like.

It's fun to come back to the town where I went to school and see all the new Wildcat players.

Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine... so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.

It had been almost 30 years since the LPGA has played in Mexico. We are definitely looking forward to playing there next year and also coming back to play in Mexico in a month or so.

My 2005 calendar we actually did a shoot in Lake Las Vegas. Since I had requests do some swimwear and athletic shots we tried them and they came out good so we inserted them into the new calendar.

My first calendar was a combination of photos taken from different shoots including golf and casual.

I stopped playing in Jr. events when I was 12 and played women's.

My father got me involved in the game when I was four years old.

The Longs event was the first LPGA event that I played in 8 years ago.

As far as my journal, I want to share tour life with my fans.

I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.

I love to be in front of big galleries.

I played with Annika today. I love being paired with her. She does not make many mental mistakes, and she has the ability to repeat her swing over and over and wears people down.

I have worked hard to improve my consistency in my driving, irons, short game, and putting.

What makes Annika Sorenstam so great is her consistency, and I've worked on that.

She should say that. I don't want to look at it any other way.

She's got a great golf swing. She's very mentally strong. We're very fortunate to have her. She has a lot of energy. She's great with fans.

She grinds. She just sticks to her routine.

She really just does not make a lot of mistakes. She really wears people down with her consistency.

I did change my tempo a little bit. I certainly learned a lot.

I think it hangs over your head every week from when I was 10 or 11 years old and trying to win tournaments. Every single week I try and go out and win tournaments. You just have to keep putting yourself in position. I did that quite a bit last year. I kept putting myself in position and I think I've done that this week, so I look forward to tomorrow.

I think it's going to be a lot of fun to play. It's very demanding off the tees and you have to hit a lot of fairways and greens.

I think Annika really raised the bar for all of us in the last couple of years with her game and with her success. She's really made all of us work harder.

Play hard, but enjoy every minute of it.

I was thinking about it most of the day,

My caddie and I thought 8 under would win this, ... I thought pretty much anything under par would be a really good round.

We've got some pretty long players and I actually don't think length will make all that much difference. I think our team is full of great ball strikers and we make an awful lot of birdies. That's what counts.

We don't know what they're doing. But we're having a great time.

We all got cameras from Canon and we're all taking pictures, and they'll upload them on LPGA.com. It's a fan-friendly thing the team is doing. We want our fans to be able to see it through our eyes. You'll probably see pictures of us taking pictures of other people taking pictures.

Beth Daniel told me not to really watch the (leader)board, just to kind of take care of my business, get my point.

The team around me has marketed me pretty aggressively, ... but my priority is my golf. If I can get more fans out for me and following our tour, it's just going to grow and grow.

People still associate her with women's golf. Then, when she comes over here, it brings a bigger fan base. Of course, we would like for her to play our tour more often. But she's limited in how many events she can play. She's doing what's good for her.

Definitely the way you want to finish the round. I actually struck the ball well all day. I had a lot of opportunities for birdies all day and started dropping putts at the end.

It's just frustrating, but what can you do? ... I'm still in a good spot. Take the day off and start over tomorrow.

It's a tough place to spend six hours.

It's probably going to be a birdie-fest and you're going to have to shoot in the 60s every round.

Everyone involved should be complimented on putting together such a beautiful layout.

Everybody was dancing in the motor home and telling jokes and plenty of things that need to stay in the motor home.

Any tournament Annika is in, she is always the favorite.

Every time you do well in a tournament you get a phone call from Nancy,

The fans were great out there. It's kind of a dream day to be able to play with John Daly and Arnold Palmer. The course was fabulous and I got a chance to bond with everyone. I'm just happy that they invited me.

I'm doing good, knock on wood. And my hips aren't tight anymore.

I just want to keep putting myself in a position to win, ... I've been in the hunt now. And the more I put myself in those positions, I know I'm going to win a lot.

I have not seen players be this fired up about something in the five years I've been out here.

I had a really good group with Beth Daniel and Grace Park,

I'm very pleased with how I started off the season. I think just to win tournaments out here you have to be consistent. I still haven't been able, my last four or five years, to put an event together where I played really, really strongly for four rounds.

I'll sit in on meetings, meet with sponsors ... we've got to brainstorm.

I really learn a lot from testing my game during competition and having the opportunity to compare my game and stats to other players.

If you're within a couple of the lead going into the weekend, that's where you want to be,

I had a good weekend. I shot 8 under over the weekend. I didn't do much the first two days, so I'm very pleased with how I finished.

Before she even teed it up, they were talking about the LPGA in every major publication across the country, ... When she said she was going to play, it got people talking about the LPGA.

This is one of those weeks where you have to be really, really patient.

Touring is just the most incredible experience, and whilst I try to share it, there are moments where you feel the only way you can really know is to be there in the moment feelings what you are feeling.

I see myself as an athlete and just try to market myself as a feminine athlete.
