I've seen Lee Trevino do it, Allenby do it, Vijay do it, Tiger do it, Greg Norman do it.. the list goes on and on.  Jack Nicklaus treated my best friend like crap during a business meeting (that was j

He comes off hateful to YOU. Not everyone. I like him and Sergio a lot. Two guys who have a little fire in their belly. (and yes, as mentioned above Tiger and Jordan are the same way.) Always find it

If you equate swearing with rape... the issues may well be with you, not Poulter. There are so many rigid, boring sportspeople that never reveal any human side, and their interviews are just du

As long as Ian Poulter continues to play golf, I doubt this thread will die (unless a new one is started). Whenever I watch him for an extended period of time, or I guess whenever he's on camera for more than just a few shots, ie in contention, he does something to remind me how much of an ass he really seems to be. And once again, he acted like a dick with the whole drop situation vs Sergio Garcia at the match play and I was immediately reminded of this thread. Jerk.

Seeing as how nobody posting lately in this thread has bothered to read the first page or two, I agree... I'd also be willing to give Ian the benefit of the doubt for what he did at the 16th had he not flipped the bird during Jack's tournament and proceeded to let loose with a string of of cursing while kids were right there (as described earlier in the thread).

So, since people can't bother to look back, I'm closing the thread.

Dude hasn't won in over 4 years and he's acting like it's the cameraman's fault he sucks.  I can't stand this grade A douche bag.

Bad case of anger management - taking it out on whoever is around. Poulter sometimes goes ballistic on twitter critics instead of ignoring them like most pros would.

Might be healthier to kick the bag or throw the club.

Probably a baby that burped four seconds after impact.

@iacas did he get fined for his behavior towards you?

Yep.

And it's not because I reported it, anywhere, at the time. I suspect maybe the camera operators or someone else did. Maybe the walking scorers or ShotLink people or something… I don't know.

He's incredibly good in Match Play. The way he comes off on tv, he's a love'em or hate'em knd of guy, sort of like Sergio. I happen to like him, I love seeing him fired up, but definitely cringe when he acts out when not playing well. But as bad as he can be, has anyone ever topped the Stevie Williams - Tiger Woods tag team when it came to berating fans or photographers (Williams) and acting out (Tiger) when things went wrong?

Even if I didn't hear specific stories (like @iacas') of him actually just being an asshole, I'd probably still dislike him.  I don't know why - there just seems to be a difference between hyper-competitiveness (like Tiger, or even Patrick Reed) and Poulter's over-the-top douchebag chest-pounding routine.

There are very few players I would actively root against, and he's one of them.

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
