Ian Poulter in Twitter feud
October 5th, 2009Who’s on Twitter? I am, follow me, @akw144. So is The Open Champion Stewart Cink @stewartcink, fans favourite John Daly @PGA_JohnDaly and the always controversial Ian Poulter @ianjamespoulter.
So when I sat down to watch the footy this weekend I didn’t expect my attentions to turn to what these golf stars had to say but when a feud started between Ian Poulter and some provocative lad in the UK I couldn’t help but be fascinated.
Maybe Poulter had some beers watching the game but as the young lad showed delight in his ability to wind the seven time European Tour winner up this only seemed to get under Poulter’s skin more. Even when the juvenile retaliated with abusive taunts and expletives Poulter seemed set on having the last word to cement his alpha status.
It’s a bit of a ‘how not to’ for celebs on Twitter. Enjoyable none the less…

Yang proves golf is a sport
August 18th, 2009
Yang tries to convince the IOC that golf is a sport
Rumour has it that Yang had to persuade the IOC that golf is a sport by snatch lifting 200lbs at the end of the round for it to be included in the 2016 games.
Well done my son.
Luck of the Irish
August 17th, 2009
He must of backed Tiger on Paddy Power
The Irish book makers Paddy Power started to pay out £1.25 million to punters who backed Tiger on winning the 91st USPGA Championship before he even hit a shot Sunday afternoon.
When Harrington chalked up a snowman on the Par 3 8th I bet they were rubbing their hands.
Who’s got luck of the Irish now?…

O’Neal or No O’Neal?
July 22nd, 2009
Would you let her play on your course?
Imagine yourself at your local golf club for a minute if you will, now imagine yourself as that old ‘fuddy duddy’ who runs the place, now imagine Blair O’Neal comes into your office and asks if it is okay that she can play?
After you’ve picked your chin off the floor and calmed down various body parts (if they’re still working), you’ll have no choice but to turn away this beautiful girl if you want to keep your job.
For starters, the girl will obviously practice on the course with all those balls, either that or if she plans on using all of them she’s not of the standard to play. Second of all she has no socks on, and if she did I bet they wouldn’t be white! Next, no collar, and last but not least, no skirt. If the committee found out she was even on the premises they would cause the NHS serious problems.
And that is my problem. The girl looks great. And not because she has a killer body, no skirt on and she’s holding a golf club. Yes, all these factors help but stick a ‘Queen of the green’ skirt on her and she’ll look respectable enough to tee it up. Yet, she still wouldn’t be allowed to play on many of the courses I know. Regardless of the fact she’ll be the most stylish person to walk a course since Peter Allis back in 1950.
The girl doesn’t even break traditions, in fact Miss O’Neal is in keeping with a lot of traditions with her classic shoes and diamond patterned jumper. Blair simply adds a modern twist to a classic look who is comfortable in her own skin. Isn’t that what fashion is all about?
You see - That’s what sucks in the World of golf.
But then again, who would want to play with someone who putts with their glove on anyway?
Happy Harrington
May 4th, 2009I get fed up with the front cover of golf magazines sometimes, ‘ten tips to hit it great’, ‘find out how Garcia can help you hit the ball further’. None are over night successes like implied.
But now, I’ve found the answer for hitting the ball 10% further with just one fundamental change! And for those who have seen the movie Happy Gilmore (who hasn’t?!) then you’ll know exactly what that fundamental change is.
Let me thank our American buddies from Sports Science for producing this intriguing experiment. Also, full credit to our great Open Champion Padraig Harrington for being the genie pig.
If you want to start smashing it past your mates when there is a skin up for longest drive then press play below and I’ll see you at the driving range that has really long bays for practice!
Will golf ever see trash talk?
April 29th, 2009I often wonder when some young whippersnapper is going to pop up on the PGA Tour and start talking trash to his fellow competitors. Throwing insults and banter around to put their opponent off down the stretch.
Not that I ever want to see it, it’s one of the games biggest strengths, sportsmanship. So, I guess the closest we’ll get to it is an Antony Kim v Sergio Garcia Ryder Cup battle or this from Bubba Watson…
For those of you who can’t understand Bubba’s southern American twang aimed at Steve Elkington, he says: “Tell yew what, veterans can kiss my ass”
Sienna Miller to become the next Queen of the Green?
April 24th, 2009
The next Queen of the Green?
I landed upon some great news today. Top model and actress Sienna Miller has come down with the golf bug. It’s apparently to reconnect with her dad who loves golf. Frankly, I think that man needs a knighthood.
“I actually am a golfer now.” Miller said, “Not a very good one, but I am keen on it. I used to give my dad a hard time about being into golf, but now I completely understand it”. Good girl, I say.
If Carlsberg made women golfers it would probably be Sienna Miller. And okay, she’s no doubt hacking it round some exclusive golf club that we could only dream about being a member, not repairing her divots, with a swing that looks like a figure of eight and shooting in excess of 100 each time. But, I bet she’s the epitome of fashion for female golf. I bet she wears it well.
If the newest Queen of the Green doesn’t apply to become a Bunker Mentality ambassador I could always give her a few swing tips, right?
