Higgs On Tour- David Higgins Tour Diary Part 4

Greetings from the terminal building in Agadir. I’m waiting for a charter flight to Gatwick after the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco. We were playing on the King’s exclusive golf course in the front lawn of his palace. It was an awesome experience, the course was pristine and I heard the guys saying there’s only a handful ofrounds played on it all year! I missed out on the weehiggs tour diary pickend by just one shot, but you have the take the rough with the smooth out here. It’s not easy sometimes but you just got to suck it up and battle on. I am sure I will have plenty weeks where things WILL go my way. My next outing is the Open de Espana in El Saler, it’s a course I know well and that suits my game so I’m really looking forward to it.

Pic: Do you think I should buy these boots.

I started the season with a few tournaments in South Africa, then came back to Kerry for a couple of weeks where I got to play a lot of golf with my old fella. Liam Higgins is a legend of the game, but to me, he’s more. He’s my Dad, he’s the man who knows my swing inside out and I love playing golf and spending time with him. He can still tonk it out there 300 yards off the tee too!

rankoAt the Trophee Hassan II, I swapped my temporary South African caddie “Rasta” Robert for my less hairy and pale skinned regular looper David Rankin. It was great to have him back on the bag again; I missed not being handed clubs with Ambre Solaire factor 50 slathered all over the grips. Only kidding, when I’m not laughing with him, I’m laughing at him!

Pic: We call him “Ranko”. That’s Ranko with an “R”!!! 

I’m really looking forward to watching The Masters next week. I’ve never played Augusta but I’ve a few years left in me yet so you never know! From talking to players and caddies who’ve been there I know it has become a very long course and one that suits a right to left hitter.

I have played in two Majors, the Open Championship twice. Both were fantastic experiences; of course I wish I had played a little better in them, but it was still brilliant.

It fascinates me to see some of the guys that have won majors. Apart from the super-dooper-stars, guys like Zach Johnson, Ben Curtis, Rich Beem, Todd Hamilton come to mind as guys who have seized their once in a lifetime opportunity. I really do believe that at least 80% of any field has a chance of winning. Of course the usual suspects will always be favourites, but if you get your name on that draw sheet and TRUELY believe in yourself and your ability, you can do it.

Something is pushing me towards Hunter Mahan for the Masters this year. He drives it so straight and long and he’s a great putter too. I think Peter Hanson has a good each way chance, he started knocking on the door in the last few Majors. It's going to be a good one this year because so many of the top names are playing well.

If these Siberian winds keep up we might well be snuggled up in our jackets watching the guys battle for the Green Jacket! Chat again in a couple of weeks….

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
