Higgs On Tour: David Higgins Tour Diary Part 5

david higgins old_thumb[3]Hi everyone, David here. It was nice to feature on the leaderboard early last week at the Open de Espana, but I really felt I let what was a great chance get away from me. The greens at El Saler de Parador were very firm so it was not easy to get it close to the pins. It was also a very tight driving track and that suited me. The course played very much like my home course, Waterville links.

I came to Spain playing well. During the last couple of weeks off I played a lot of golf with my Dad and he got me hitting the ball very well. It was more in my way of thinking rather than any technical stuff. He told I must stay aggressive through my shots; that’s when I strike it best. Off the course I did a lot of fly fishing during my weeks off. My Dad gave me a gift of a lovely new rod and it got my appetite back to go and land a big one!

I watched the marathon playoff from my hotel near Alicante. I was up for the young German Max Kieffer, he’s a sound lad and his caddie, Gary John Marshall used to work for me. He’s not just a caddie either, check him out in full brass band regalia!

I really enjoyed the Masters and felt it was better for the game that Adam Scott won rather than Angel Cabrera. Scott will push on from this now and will be a great asset to future tournaments. In my heart I would have loved to see Cabrera win it but I think it would have been his last win.

paramorWhat did you think of the penalty stroke referee John Paramor gave to the 14 year Tianlang Guan? I thought it was one of the worst things I have ever seen happen in golf. I heard there was a 20 minute delay on one of the par fives that day and for them to single out a 14 year old shows you what they are like. Spineless is about the best word I can find. It can be seen out on this tour every week. Everybody knows the so called "big named" players are the real slow guys out here, but they NEVER get penalised. It’s disgraceful.

eddybestOn the range, in between me listening to Eddie Grant’s I Don’t Wanna Dance and Electric Avenue, a lot of the talk with the guys was about that new rule that came up with Tiger at Augusta. Most of the players here were unaware it even existed. The feeling is that it could open up a big can of worms. The discussion was broken up by the TaylorMade/Adams Tour guys who had some lovely white headed rescues to hand out. They went straight into several lads bags, including mine!

Check out this motorbike I came across at the Open de Espana. I begged the guys for a go on it and they were kind enough to let me have a spin. She’s a Harley and she’s some machine. On the fuel tank it has the inscription "Walk on, leave it behind", which is a pretty cool philosophy in life, even if it doesn’t quite work on the golf course! The only problem is the bike might not be great for our weather at home!

Over and out for now. I’m off to listen to more Eddie!

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...
