Win Blair O'Neal Calendar from Cobra


Hey, want to own a Cobra Golf calendar featuring 12 photos of Blair O'Neal in bikinis? Of course you do!

It was only a few years ago that golf calendars were everywhere - Big Break calendars, Natalie Gulbis calendars, Sophie Sandolo calendars, the Australian charity calendar that raised money for breast cancer research, and so on. They aren't so common anymore.

So kudos to Cobra and Blair for bringing them back.

Go to the Cobra/Blair calendar microsite to check out all the photos in the calendar. Vote for your favorite and you'll be entered to win one autographed by Blair. It's a limited-time offer, so enter quick.

Lizette Salas

Lizette Salas recently changed her Twitter avatar to this photo, and it's a good choice. Lizette is having quite a breakout year in 2013. She's a shoo-in to make the US Solheim Cup team, and seems right on the verge of posing her first LPGA victory.

Liebelei Lawrence is one of the contestants on Big Break Mexico, which debuts May 13 on Golf Channel. She's also a golfer who has had fully exempt status on a major world tour; in Liebelei's case, the Ladies European Tour.

In 2011, she played 15 LET tournaments with four Top 30 finishes, but had to go back to Q-School. She regained her card for 2012 and had two Top 30 finishes. In 2013, she has partial status on the LET and so far has gotten into two tournaments.

Liebelei is a child of the world: She has citizenship in three countries. Born in Greece to a Greek mother and American father, she spent most of her childhood in Luxembourg. So she has citizenship with Greece, the USA and Luxembourg. She also speaks five languages (and, as she notes in the biographical video below, is working on No. 6.)

As a teen she attended the Leadbetter Academy in Florida, then played collegiately at Vanderbilt.
