Here, in my opinion, are the Top 5 Best Golf Shots Of 2010.
Following hot on the heels of the successful 200 Yard Gong shot and the recent Clay Pigeon shot, European Tour bosses are now planning the third instalment of the everyshotimaginable series. Sources close to the Tour have revealed they are planning to film the third episode in Kruger National Park during the Tour’s African swing following the Christmas break.
“Obviously missing the bullet with your first drive will mean certain death, which is a really great challenge for the guys” said European Tour boss George O’Grady adding “They’re all really up for it and will be excitedly preparing their wills over the Christmas break. The only question is who goes first?”
I have absolutely no problem with Tony McCoy winning Sports Personality Of The Year even if JP McManus had the exact same knowing smile on his face as Roman Abramovich wore when Russia won the World Cup bid. He truly deserved the accolade. Jockeys are the trawlermen of the Sports world.
What absolutely baffles me is how Jessica Ennis (fit and all as she is) managed to poll higher than Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood. Could it be that the presence of two golfers on the list of candidates divided the public vote and unwittingly served to scupper the chances of both? So many unanswered questions.
And another thing that’s bugging me is the flamboyant three minute introduction and walk on to “I Got The Power” that was afforded to Phil Taylor while GMac and 
Westy were simply plopped onto the screen for interview without so much as a clap. The Power got a bloody standing ovation from the crowd the likes of which hasn’t been seen since 35 year old David Beckham got his “Lifetime” achievement award five minutes after.
Sorry guys but the Beeb have messed up royally here, both in the coverage and the voting process. You cannot be serious.

Rory McIlory has been busy on twitter lately. Followers receiving texts from Rory would have had their phones on fire Friday evening as Rors hosted a Q&A session with his fans. Rory also posted a pic of himself in tee shirts and shorts on his snow covered home putting green. He tweeted “Yes I was in t shirt and shorts! Was coming back from the gym so was feeling ok. That and I'm hard as nails!! NOT! Lol”
Rors also posted a pic of a snowman to remind us all to vote for GMac in tonights Sports Personality of The Year.
Probably the best tweet of Rory’s week was an RT of a pic from a follower who was present on the Monday night after Europe’s Ryder Cup win. The pic shows Rory and the guys having a celebratory sing song with Poults in the background with the Ryder Cup
Rafael Cabrera-Bello walked off the course at the South African Open after 11 holes of his second round yesterday after losing all the balls he could use under tournament rules.
Unlike US PGA rules which allow you to carry or borrow an unlimited amount of balls the European Tour’s “one ball” rule in effect this week means a competitor can only borrow the same make and model of golf ball that they had been using all along. Cabrera-Bello lost 11 balls during his Tin Cup moment on his way to the DQ.
