There is just no pleasing some people.  Did they talk about chain saws too?

Ian Poulter Rants On Twitter About His Putting, Even After Lesson

By Cameron DaSilva

After missing a five-foot putt to force a playoff at the Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday, Ian Poulter was contacted by Greg Norman via Twitter (of course) about an "easy fix" to improve his putting. Poulter said he'd give the Shark a call, with the hopes of polishing up his game with the flat stick.

The two reportedly spoke on the phone on Tuesday night, but Poulter was reluctant to share the advice to the public. I guess we'll just have to wonder what was said, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

Poulter went on a mini Twitter rampage Thursday after posting a 3-over 75 in the first round of the DP World Tour Championship. The subject of that rant: his putting.

I think Ian needs to work on his long game more,

Last year he was 153rd in GIR %, 124th in Proximity, 98th in Scrambling, 92nd in Strokes Gained Putting

Seriously, he was just a bellow average PGA Tour player last year. He needs to get off the twitter and get practicing.

Ha ha. Poulter likes to use currency symbols to cover up his cussin'. Where's the pound symbol, huh?

About the same chances I'd be able to pull off one of his ensembles.

If he's smart, though, he'd get in touch with Dave and I. We'd help him more than a phone call with Greg Norman. :)

I thought I heard him say (or maybe I read in an interview) sometime in the last year that he had figured out some key to putting that he wasn't willing to share with anyone. (It was after he had sunk one of those long putts "from another zip code.")

Anyone else remember that?

hahahahaha, this is so awesome.

Also, there's a chance he may have seen it. I used to talk to Jon Jones back and forth via twitter...he was really cool about it, among other big time MMA fighters. It's clear Poulter doesn't have someone doing his tweets for him so....there's a chance.

Pretty sure I was blocked because of this…

No worries. The fact that I only saw that I was blocked by Ian Poulter today shows how much I care to check on that kind of thing.

Wow, Poulter is such a baby. He should take the "L" out of his name.

Wow, touchy a bit there Poulter. I doubt that is the worst thing someone has said to him. Heck some people just don't like the truth.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
