Suggestions needed for 4th annual turkey awards
November 23rd, 2008
The 4th annual HOG Turkey Awards is coming this week. I’ve got a list of candidates going which you can read here, but I’d like to hear your suggestions in case I missed any.
Comment in or email me your suggestions for boneheads in the golf world for 2008!
Previous HOG Turkey Award Winners
~ 2007 winner was Sergio Garcia for spitting in the hole and also for gagging away the British Open.
~ 2006 winner was Phil Mickelson for gagging away the US OPEN.
~ 2005 winners, Vijay for withdrawing due to a ping pong injury, and David Duval for earning $381 per event.
It was reported that Azinger encouraged people at a pep rally before the Ryder Cup began to boo the European Team – if that’s true, then he’s a turkey, Uh, I mean he should get a Turkey award.
Now I like David Feherty, but he’s getting knocked off his bicycle way too often, maybe he should get a mention.
Me again – I thought of a couple of other things:
The LPGA’s English Only Idea. Personally, I thought it might make a bit of sense for the players to know English if the rules officials are speaking English. But a lot of people thought this was a stupid idea.
Colin Montgomerie’s sour grapes over Faldo being the Ryder Cup captain and his continued criticism over it. Maybe Montgomerie should worry more about his own golf game since he didn’t even make the team on points this time.
Definitely a good call on the LPGA English only. I forgot that one.
It’s gotta be Daly. Granted, many people, even some who are reading this, have probably had similar experiences. We’re just not blowing millions when we do it! There’s nothing more reprehensible than someone wasting a “gift” or talent IMO.
