Tiger Signed Hooters Menu

March 11th, 2010

There was us thinking he was just there for the chicken wings!

There was us thinking he was just there for the chicken wings!

Yes, a big shock I know. We all thought he was there for the enjoyment of those juicy chicken wings. But we know why he was really there now. Addict, at it.

Never the less he kindly signed a Hooters menu for a fellow dinner. And now it can be yours! 100% Authentic, PSA/DNA rating 10 (the highest), so you can buy with confidence.

At time of wirting its going for $610. 12 hours to go… Get your bid in now!

But expect more of these on the market soon, as pointed out earlier in the month rehab isn’t going so well.

Spring is coming

March 4th, 2010

Spring 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

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, 2009

Who’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

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.
