Eva Longoria shows off her golf moves

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

After eight seasons of cat fights, murders and adulterous affairs, the hit ABC prime time soap Desperate Housewives will bid adieu to viewers for good next week. The show's youngest star, 37-year-old Eva Longoria, has yet to announce her next professional role, but it looks like she's picked up a new hobby that will help her fill the time.

As one of the participants in Monday's George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic at Lakeside Golf Club in Toluca Lake, Calif., Longoria proudly showcased a not-too-shabby (in the future, with some help) golf swing. Let's take a look:

Nice finish, Eva. One tip: swinging with your eyes closed usually leads to missing the ball.

Not what you'd hoped? Don't be upset. You're no more than 5-feet-1 and that's a men's driver. Even your glove looks four sizes too big. Not many women would pull off a good drive under those circumstances.

Now you're talking. Excellent weight shift, great balance, and that hair looks good enough to frame. You definitely have a future in this game.

All kidding aside, we find it very exciting when a new Hollywood starlet decides to pick up the game. It helps secure golf's coolness factors among young girls, and encourages more women to follow suit.
