Fight Club. Top 3 Golf Fights of 2011

There have beensome great bouts during the golfing year and here is the GolfCentralDaily top three in reverse order.  Note: The Rory vs Westwood beak bonking on twitter doesn’t qualify as a fight as it was not sanctioned by Chubby State Athletic Commission.

3. Ogilvy Vs Allenby

A true classic this year Down Under.  Ogilvy was worried about a cut on his finger reopening, Allenby brought to the table a record of 11 wins and only two defeats.  The bout went in Ogilivy’s favour when Allenby was disqualified for attacking the younger man with a broken glass.

2. Spencer Levin Vs The Tee Peg

This was an epic encounter with the Tee Peg giving as much as he got.  Levin went berserk with a series of vicious hooks, none of connected with the Tee Peg.  The video had over 60,000 hits on YouTube before the PGA Tour took it down deeming it too gruesome and belonging to them.

1. O’Hair Vs Sabbatini

Rory Sabbatini is one crazy ass bastard on the golf course and wins our prestigious Fight of the Year award hands down.  Weeks after winning and claiming to be “nice”, Sabbatini who styles himself on Mike Tyson went all mental with a kid at the Northern Trust Open before squaring up with someone his own size in Sean O’Hair.  Sean O’s only previous fight had been against his father, and he’s known to be slow out of the blocks, but he was not afraid to go toe to toe with the pyscho South African.  After 12 gruelling rounds  O’Hair emerged victorious joining Ben Crane as the only other fighter to defeat Sabbatini.

Kim Jong-Il’s Dead Body Earns European Tour Card

Less than a week since his death the rotting corpse of Kim Jong Il has qualified for the 2012 season on the European Tour.  The deceased North Korean shot six straight rounds of 58 over both courses at PGA Catalunya in one day, including 5 holes in one in front of 17 security guards and George O’Grady from the European Tour.

The Tour created an extra qualifying spot for Jong Il “because I can do shit like that”, said O’Grady.

“Kim was really humming out there today” said the European Tour boss adding “he battled the heat, some swelling of the head and the flies but still played some remarkable golf for a dead dictator.  He could have done even better too if one of his eyeballs hadn’t fallen out midway through his final round.” 

While he was alive Kim Jong Il played golf just once back in 1994 where he managed 11 holes-in-one on his way to a 38 under par round at the 7700-yard Pyongyang Golf Course. That round was also witnessed and verified by 17 security guards and George O’Grady.

Paddypower has now installed the 69 year old corpse as the 4/6 favourite for the Masters at Augusta pending the granting of a US visa, and is also 1/2 joint favourite with Rory McIlroy for next year’s Open at Lytham.

The North Korean world rankings show Kim Jong Il at number one, just ahead of Luke Donald.

The 2012 Irish Open Venue Royal Portrush. Announcement Pending

This article has been updated.

Huge speculation surrounds the possible venue for the 2012 Irish Open and the common consensus among the speculators had been that the tournament is set to move from Killarney, host for the last two years, to Carton House near Dublin.

However this now seems highly unlikely with Royal Portrush emerging as the favourite to host the event. An announcement is set to be made at a press conference with the Tour tomorrow.

Dont Miss Joe Lyons Christmas Pro-Am At Galway Bay

If your after some Christmas golf and hot port with the pros and ams make sure you get yourself to the second annual Joe Lyons Christmas Pro-Am at Galway Bay Golf Club on the 28th of December. All proceeds go to Galway Hospice. A shotgun start takes place at 10.30am and more details are on the facebook events page here

Things You Should Know About Joe Lyons

Many people will know Joe as one of Ireland’s top amateur golfers and indeed his exploits at beating the living tar out of people half is age are the stuff of legend.  However this shy retiring man is also very well known, if unheralded, in other circles.

As a youth Joe’s intelligence immediately became obvious.  By the age of 12, he had won Blackboard Jungle and secured a Caribbean holiday on RTE’s “Where In the World” quiz show before going on to become the youngest ever winner of “15 to 1” and Henry Kelly’s “Going For Gold”.

Excelling in languages and verse, a poem Lyons wrote whilst in Leaving Cert made its way to Israel in the late nineties and directly prompted the meeting of Yasser Arrafat and Ehud Barak to discuss his proposals.  Laid out in rhyming couplets, Joe Lyons suggested granting Palestinians sovereignty over Jerusalem's Haram al-Sharif and control over their own land while the Israelis would have sovereignty over the Western Wall.  Though ultimately unsuccessful, the “JLA” or Joe Lyons Accord remains the closest anyone has yet come to achieving peace in the Middle East.

Back in Ireland, the legend that is Joe Lyons is very close to celebrating a big birthday next year and plans are already well in train to transform Galway’s docks into a venue befitting the event where stars such as Lady GaGa and Tiger Woods, who Lyons beat 8 and 7 just one week before Woods won his first Masters in 1997 are set to attend.  English rugby legend Johnny Wilkinson who modelled his World Cup hair highlights on Joe’s summer look will also be there along with Lakpa Gyelu, the Sherpa who finally beat Lyons record of having summated Mount Everest 11 times in 2007.

It’s also told that Joe foresaw the property bubble as early as 1977, but his detailed diagram of events, was mistakenly destroyed after being used to make a Papier Mache elephant by his teacher.

So when you meet Joe in Galway on December 28th, be sure to shake the hand of a truly remarkable statesman.

Jackson’s Doc In, Tiger’s Doc Out. But Is Galea Really Evil?

Much has been made of Dr. Anthony Galea so called “avoiding more prison time” but in actual fact the doc served all of one day in the clink, the day he was arrested.  Are the media being a bit harsh on the Canadian version of Florence Nightingale that snuck over the border into the US in the middle of the night with his medical bag brimming full of hormones and bricks and blood spinning tricks?

The groundswell  of support for Galea was pretty much phenomenal with linebackers and defensive ends and sons of  hockey stars all coming out in support.  The US Attorney's office wanted an eight to 14 month sentence but the court could find nothing to justify it.  The only proven charge against Galea- that he brought in mislabelled drugs from Canada to the USA in his bag.

Team Galea also acknowledged his use of HGH, human growth hormone in some of his non athlete patients (and on himself), but qualified the use of the treatment banned in sport by explaining it was used in tiny amounts as part of a rescue remedy injected directly into torn and injured muscles.  HGH is only effective as a performance enhancing agent in an athlete when administered regularly in much bigger doses.

Whatever is going on, there’s a lot more spinning for Galea to do before he can wriggle out of this one.

Lee Westwood Two Out Of Three ‘Aint Bad

Fair play to Lee Westwood who ended 2011 on a high after beating the tar out of the entire field at the Thailand Golf Championship in Bangkok.  The Nottingham Forest superfan hacked home in a canter on 22 under par to win by seven from Charl Schwartzel.  Simon Dyson tied fourth.

“I wasn't happy until I was on that boat coming back from the island on 17 with a big lead," Westwood said after. The win sees him climb back to Number 2 in the world rankings and planning his 2012 schedule on the PGA Tour.

Poulter Does a Rodney Trotter on Aussie Masters To Flog IJP

Ian Poulter had a van load of his IJP clothing ready to flog for Christmas and he needed to get rid of it.  And what better way to peddle them than to win the Aussie Masters.  Here’s the report from the official website.

Flashy Englishman Ian Poulter has finished the year on a high by staring down playing partner Geoff Ogilvy to add the 2011 JBWere Australian Masters gold jacket to his highly distinctive and very extensive wardrobe.

Poulter fired a final-round 67 in blustery conditions at Victoria Golf Club to finish at 15-under three shots clear of Marcus Fraser who jumped from the pack with a 64, the round of the day.

Ogilvy returned a two-over 73 to sit alone in third place at minus 11.

The only player apart from Poulter and Fraser to shoot four sub-par rounds, the ageless Peter Senior (70) shared fourth place at seven under with Adam Crawford (66), while world No.1 Luke Donald eased to the line with a 72 to sit alongside 2011 Australian Open and PGA champion Greg Chalmers at four under.

While 'a little disappointed' with his finish, Donald said he was proud of his achievements in 'an amazing year'.

Immediately after putting out for par at the 18th, a delighted Poulter shared his delight with his 1.2 million followers on Twitter: "winner winner chicken dinner ... what a way to finish the year."
