Kate Upton Covers Golf Digest with Arnold Palmer for December 2013 Issue & Gets Private Golf Lesson [VIDEO]
Swimsuit cover girl Kate Upton fronts the December 2013 issue of Golf Digest and posed alongside golf legend Arnold Palmer for the cover.
Leading up its release, the magazine released a behind-the-scenes look at the cover shoot. The December issue debuted Tuesday on tablets and will arrive to newsstands one week later.
The shoot was done in Palmer's hometown of Latrobe, Penn. The best parts of the video include Upton proclaiming that "we're killing this." and Palmer's hip swivel while standing on a crate to rival Upton's height.
The cover photo was a play on the famous Grant Wood American Gothic painting depicting a farmer and his daughter. The comparison is fitting given the 63-year age difference between Palmer and Upton.
Other memorable moments in the below clip include Palmer telling Upton "you are pretty," the look on his face when he has his hands on Upton's shoulders ("Still got it," he says) and the legend asking "will this be published by the time I'm still alive?
Upton also got a private lesson from Palmer when she visited the famous golfer's course in Pennsylvania.
"Kate Upton is a new golfer who is going to be a very good golfer," Palmer wrote in the magazine. "When I met her at Bay Hill back in March, she told me her only golf experience had been playing with her family in Florida one day a year, on Christmas."
"I could tell right away that she's going to be a nice player," he added. "It was the way she took her grip: a firm hold but not with a lot of tension in her arms," Palmer wrote. "The way she waggled the club was very easy and natural. And her first practice swings were aggressive, like she wanted to hit something. I think that's important."
