His clothes are the bees knees. I bought a bunch from the IJP outlet on eBay and all of it the best golf clothes I've ever seen, real high quality stuff.

Lol, I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier, but I'm wearing this sweater right now ...

A lot of people are confusing "over-rated" with over exposed.

A valid point.

The trouble is, I suppose, that unlike Tiger Woods, who is over exposed because every single move and every single word is scrutinized by a media that simply can't seem to get enough of Tiger, even when he isn't doing anything remotely interesting, the source of Ian Poulter's over-exposure is solely limited to Ian Poulter, himself. If he just got on with his career quietly, he wouldn't draw much attention - the odd Ryder Cup performance aside.

I know he claims to have been misquoted with that quote from 2008: "I haven't played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger," but either he has never played to his full potential (which is sad), or he's full of it (which is also rather sad). Either way, he's annoying. The "over-rated" issue probably arises because of how he presents himself, rather than anything else.

I was thinking the same thing. Better off letting him quietly cruise into retirement. But it is all by design, the media are bored and needed an excuse to talk about him again.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
