Prominent golf blogger Stephanie Wei has comments from Fred Couples about his recent, noticeable weight loss made this week at a U.S. Senior Open presser in Seattle:
Well, I’ve been dating a girl for about four months and she works out in the morning and the afternoon and night, it seems like. She works out a couple of times a day. And I go to the gym with her and she does her thing, and I just walk on the treadmill and she gives me a couple of other things to do.
But she’s very athletic, and I’ve lost some weight walking. I’m not doing anything — I have a back guy that’s wanted me to lose some weight, but my back actually feels worse today than it did three months ago when I started walking a lot. But I’m not doing anything, I just get on a treadmill while she’s exercising and doing her program. I just go walk on a treadmill. I have lost some weight. It’s been very good. But my back is very tight.
But this weight thing, I just have lost some weight by moderate exercise, nothing crazy.
Couples, who has been going through girlfriends lately the way the McCourts go through loan officers, didn’t identify his new, “very athletic” girlfriend.
No worries. I’ve got the skinny.
31-year-old Charlotte resident Amy O’Keefe met Couples at the Quail Hollow Championships four months ago and the two have been inseparable since. O’Keefe, who has a three-year-old daughter, is an avid runner who comes from a wealthy family.
I’ve been told that Couples is considering moving from his home in La Quinta, CA to Charlotte to be closer to O’Keefe.
Sound serious? That’s nothing compared to another sign of just how blind Couples’ love must be: It has also been widely reported that Couples recently bought Charlotte Bobcats season tickets.

Reading about him it struck me he has social anxiety disorder. What people call his moods and need to withdraw. Add that to his myriad of physical issues and he’s no bargain as a partner. But he’s a whole hell of a lot of fun to watch

What is wrong with buying Bobcats season ticket ? They are among the top 10 in renewals and new season ticket holders. Hating much?

@ “fan” ….. ummmm…. don’t know if you realize this but…… it’s STILL the Charlotte BOBCATS!! I mean seriously, they suck and will ALWAYS suck. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Yo fan — dude lives in Cali so yeah, it’s a little weird that he’d buy season tix on the other side of the country.

No way Freddie leaves his new pad at the Madison Club for Charolete. He may get a place there but he has a sweet deal at the Madison. He moved in less than a year ago.

I hope the arrow is pointing to the woman in the pink shirt and not the woman in the black shirt as he’s holding hands with the woman in the pink shirt.
