He also wore pink shoes on Sunday, which weren't shown in that shot. I did notice that kinda goofy hat he wore on Sat. Thought that might become the new standard but he was back to the flat-bill by Sun.


I think the shoes he wore Sunday, were more Purple than pink ?

I guess Ted Bishop really doesn't like Poulter, here's the latest tweet from Ted

Quote:
Rickie Fowler - the legend is made. Only one over rated player left.......

Poulter responded

Oh Ted Ted Ted..... I thought you learnt you lesson the last time. Obviously not.

I have a financial interest in a local golf store and was there today to pick up some clubs I had ordered.  While I was there (less than 1/2 hour) at least three people called in asking for Cobra golf bags and equipment.  Fowlers win yesterday is great for golf, Rickie and Cobra.

They were the same color as on his hat and shirt.  Maybe it looked more purple sitting next to the blue, but those shoes were pink.

That's the problem w/ twitter - a lot can be lost in those 140 characters......Ted Bishop's tweet may have been intended to be more facetious than trying to put down Poulter.

Ian Poulter needs to spend far less time on social media and should also refrain from dissing genuine English golfing heroes in his crappy, ghost-written autobiography (that would be Nick Faldo who, at the time of writing, has a 6 - 0 advantage over Ian Poulter in terms of majors won); in short, Ian Poulter, who, at the age of 39, having precisely the same number of PGA Tour wins (2) that Rickie Fowler has at age 26, should worry more about his golf game and less about sharing his opinions with the world at large. I'm not surprised that his peers regard him as over-rated.

The only thing I can't fathom about Poulter is why he is an Arsenal fan; I'd have thought that supporting Chelsea would suit him to a T.

He might have but he has to be a little bitter about how Poulter cost him all the perks of being a former PGA President.  I think he was being a bit facetious but also throwing a dig at Poulter.

I agree. I think most athletes need to be less vocal on social media -

What do you mean by "need?"

Why?  I don't disagree entirely but I'm curious what your reasons for it are.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
