Former Golf Star Applauds Derek Jeter’s Charity Event, Recalling Her Experience 20 Years Apart

Derek Jeter’s foundation Turn2 organized an invitational golf tournament for the second consecutive year. The event was held at the Bah Mar golf field, in the Bahamas, from May 11-13. Natalie Gulbis, the former professional golfer, returned to the event for the second time. Gulbis is a Yankees fan. The American golfer, who grew up in Sacramento and followed the Oakland A?s, had previously admitted: ?I was not a Yankees fan until I met Derek.??

Playing in Jeter?s event allowed Gulbis to observe the golf swings of various stars and MLB players. After attending the event for the first time almost 20 years prior, she observed that many invitees resembled the amateur swings she saw during her weekly L.P.G.A. pro-am events.
