Will golf ever see trash talk?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I 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?

The next Queen of the Green?

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?
