tegwini Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 [quote user="Richard"]Feel free to chip in with any more[/quote]Just received via email - not mine. For me golf is akin to watching paint dryTegwini Poor Tiger 1. Tiger's rear view mirror has a new warning: ANGRY WIVES ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR 2. What's the difference between a Cadillac and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a golf ball over 300 yards. 3. What club did Elin use to "rescue" Tiger? A bitching wedge. 4. Phil Mickelson has already called Elin to get some tips on how to beat Tiger. 5.. The police asked Elin how many times she hit Tiger. She said, "Put me down for a five." 6. Tiger & Baby Seals have a lot in common. Both get clubbed by Norwegians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember the George Best storey? George, drunk, laying in a Hotel bed with Miss World, empty champagne bottles all over the room, pound notes scattered everywere, in comes the waiter( huge football fan) and says "were did it all go wrong George?"

woolybanana Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well, he's into the home stretch, on the tenth it seems. I guess he has to go the whole 18 now. Was he doing his MIL too as she seems to have been ill, from lack of attention?But, what does the term 'practice ground' mean then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Golfer Tiger Woods, fighting to fend offintense media scrutiny over allegations he cheated on his wife, has wona court order banning publication in Britain of any photos or videoshowing him nude or having sex. Lawfirm Schillings, which specialises in protecting the reputations ofcelebrities, obtained the injunction on Woods' behalf on Thursday atthe High Court in London, A letter from the lawyers accompanying the injunctioncontains a statement that "this Order is not to be taken as anadmission that any such photographs exist". Excuse me If they don't exist why would you take out an order to stop them? Hmmmmmm, dear oh dear it gets stranger and stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegwini Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Speaking as a 'golf widow' and golf is an important part of my household, as OH was in his teens a potential pro with a handicap of 3. He witnessed Tiger have temper tantrums on the pro tour and throw his clubs about. This is 'not on' in golf. Taking drugs is almost unknown in golf and is 'non U' , but it has been speculated that Tiger has taken steroids. Golfers are not tested for drugs as yet.OH admires Tiger's golfing skills, but sadly many celebrities are surrounded by toadies that sometimes convince their paymasters that they are not only golfing stars, but they can almost walk on water, are god-like etc.Clearly Tiger thought he could get away with it, and chose 'gold diggers' who are all now selling their stories.Not unusual.Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John[/quote]To be precise - was unknown, but clearly times have changed. But not tested as yet, as in many other sports. Unheard of in Palmer, Player & Nicolas's era.John Daly was more of a boozer- if he took drugs it was not for performance enhancement, but because he was John Daly.Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Tegwini, you imply that alcohol is not a drug but I suspect you mean that is more acceptable to you than other drugs.And if golfers are not tested how do you know how many take drugs ?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buelligan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You know Dog has got a point here. Hasten to add, I know nothing about this particular case (the combination of Golf and celebrity tittle-tattle being enough to bore the donkey off of me). However, I think it was that wise young cove, Jesus, who said something like; "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.." at the stoning of an adulteress. Perhaps most here do have moteless eyes (far be it from me to cast aspersions), in which case, I suppose (at least from a Christian perspective) you have the green-light to fill yer boots...[img]http://static1.videosift.com/thumbs/m/on/Monty_Pythons_Life_of_Brian_Stoning-s.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you can't be tops in most sports with any kind of drugs- incl. booze. Alcohol is legal hence judged differently - and not my judgement as I never touch it.As for golfers and drugs- just google it. Random tests only, and Craig Parry an Australian pro, and Nicky Price blew the lid on beta blockers which calm and help performance by reducing the stresses of the game.Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedon Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 You would think, wouldn't you, that if any sports players needed some sort of drug to "liven" them up it would be snooker players. I seem to recall that Bill Werbeniuk took beta blockers to counteract the effects of consuming copious amounts of lager both before, during and after each game.During all this week some sort of snooker tournament has interfered with my sleep patterns in front of my television, so it was with some amusement I heard on the news today that the winner of said competition will not only get a substantial cheque, but his own bodyweight in Pukka Pies, the sponsors. Blimey! I quite like the odd "kate and sidney" but 15 stone of them[+o(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
