March 4th, 2010Spring is coming
March 4th, 2010Spring is coming. The Masters build up has began. I was planning on going to the masters this year but without a guarentee of ‘The Tiger’ playing I won’t be risking several thousand.
Isn’t it familiar in golf how you see the same faces competing for the biggest prizes on Sunday? The same can be said for Poker. Which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.
The Poulter Springboard
February 25th, 2010
Poor dress sense - Point proven
My love for Ian Poulter isn’t as deep as most. He’s an Arsenal fan, his dress sense, contrary to popular belief, is awful, and he’s almost signed more commercial deals than Ian Wooseman – but being signed under the same management as Tiger Woods it’s not too surprising he has been badly managed. (I won’t even mention the “me and Tiger” comment.)
In saying that he has all the attributes I enjoy in a sportsman. Outspoken, a personality, arrogance confidence , ability. He’s also a fellow patriot and produced the best European performance in the Ryder cup under the pressure of being a controversial captain’s pick.
With a new more controlled impact phase of his swing I wasn’t surprised to see him in so much control of the golf ball. His once ropey swing, which got him his Tour nickname ‘Redemption’ after the movie The Shawshank Redemption (I’ll let you figure it out) is now looking first class. But what was truly amazing was his holing-out ability.
My point to all this? I’ve been reading reports about it spring boarding Ian Poulter to new heights. Or the opposite as one blogger recently outrageously wrote. Ian Poulter doesn’t need a spring board. He’s world class, proven long before this recent win. Hell, he’s been within a whisker of winning The British Open. This win won’t affect future tourney outcomes - believe it or not. He’ll just carry on with his job because he knows what he’s been doing is right, he knows what he’s been doing is constantly enhancing his game and he knows it’s just him and Tiger. That’s a good recipe for a springboard if you ask me.

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

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?
