He is currently ranked 22nd in the world but Ian Poulter believes he is the only player in the world who can challenge Tiger Woods.
“Don’t get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer, but I know I haven’t played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger.”
I must say that I love his confidence and it is refreshing to see someone step up aside from windbag Rory Sabatini. I also love his realistic response to his predictions for the first 2 majors of the season. For the Masters; ‘”Put Tiger down for that one.” For the US Open; “You can put me down for that one.”
President Roh Moo Hyun demanded Prime Minister Lee Hae Chan’s offer to step down over because of his most recent golf game, Roh’s chief spokesman said.
Premier Lee has been under mounting pressure to resign after causing distress whenever he plays golf. On March 1 railway workers launched a nationwide strike that paralyzed South Korea’s public transport system during one of Lee’s games.
Previous to this, Lee was playing golf during a solemn public holiday on which Koreans solemnly commemorate the March 19 popular uprising for independence against Japanese colonial rule. At the time, Lee was playing golf with businessmen suspected of attempting to lobby him, and at least one of his partners was convicted of stock price rigging, local reports said.
Lee, who assumed his post in June 2004, had also been criticized for playing golf during times of national trouble. He was playing golf in April last year during a devastating forest fire and again three months later when heavy rains pounded the southern areas, causing widespread flooding.
The Uri Party has sought Lee’s resignation for fear that the premier’s golf game might further erode the economy and weather patterns over Korea.
In a response to the opposition Grand National Party, which has long demanded Lee’s resignation, Lee made a public apology. Lee said, ‘’I apologize for my inconsiderate behavior to the people and to hard-working government officials. In the future I will make sure airports and the South Korean military are routinely put on alert whenever I play golf.”
Last week I wrote about a snake who ate a bunch a golf balls, thinking they were eggs.
The golf balls were removed and auctioned on eBay. Believe it or not, the balls sold for $1,253 US and the proceeds will go to the Currumbin Wildlife Santuary. Good story and a great cause.
Happy New Year to all! I hope Santa was good to everyone. This was the first year in a long time where I didn’t receive a single golf related gift, unless you count Tiger Woods 2008 golf game for the Wii.
Last year I talked about how much I hate New Year’s resolutions so I started an Anti-Resolution List because I think we all need bad habits to keep us happy and sane. The list was highlighted by hottie Jessica Alba…but since her recent announcement that she is pregnant, I decided I needed to stalk someone new for 2008!
2008 Anti-Resolutions:
I will continue to consume Canadian Back Bacon every Sunday morning
I will substitute beer for water on the golf course
I will blog about the silliest golf stories I can find
Alessandra Ambrosio – WOW. No resolution here but WOW!
