Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Allenby loves the opportunity to dig holes for himself and make himself look worse than he did before. If indeed it's possible. And it was.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I have vague recollections of Allenby having a really good season in Europe (early/mid 90s), having a car accident and breaking his sternum. I think he had to turn up and hit off the first tee to collect a bonus at the year end championship and that there was a lot of fuss about it being terribly unfair.

Do you think it was just the officials taking the p!ss because they all hated him?

This gives you a little insight.

I think it was one of those theings where most guys just say  -"Oh well, those are the rules".

Allenby's problems is that he claims to just tell the truth and doesn't mind being opinionated.

That's all well and good, but it comes across as whingeing.

Now....if you've seen te Youtube clip of Daly in Sydney and the people laughing at him, that might give you a sense of how Australian crowds respond to millionaire golfers beihaving like brats and putting on airs and graces. Not to mention sacking caddies every half hour and blaming everyone but himself.  He probably gets treated a little roughly and has a persecution complex, but that's life if you are in th public eye.

But...the guy whose camera was smashed by Daly deserved it.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
