Hannah Davis becomes the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to take up golf

February 25, 2015

A couple weeks ago, we were disappointed when a golfer didn't grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.

But now, there's nothing for us to gripe about. Instead, we're beaming with pride over how prevalent golf has become (This year's edition also featured former Georgetown golfer Kelly Rohrbach) in the lives of the most beautiful bikini-clad women in the world.

On Wednesday, this year's cover girl, Hannah Davis, officially took up the game, which makes it four years in a row(!) that a golfer has appeared on the cover. Check out the video Davis Instagrammed of her raw, but promising swing:
