Is it just me or is Lee Westwood...

[LanDog]

You should try following him on Twitter, his comments on there should prove to you that he's not a dullard alone.


Oh and I'd advise you to go back to your revision pronto, as your yet to learn how to use commas and full stops pal.

Honestly mate I am not going to take advice from a guy who says "lick my nipple" in his biography honestly you should consider growing up. Anyway I have done my English exam already and got an A in it so...

The OP' words are a tad harsh i think...
Yes he may come across as being Boring when on the course but that maybe his character on the course...After all their is a fair wad of cash up for grabs....

If you have read any articles in any magazine interviews with him then you would know how much of a down to earth chap he is...And pretty witty id say..

But thats my 2 cents and im only going by what iv read.

Hmmm, I've heard this about several pro's, the trouble is that when they are on the course they are effectively at work and as such they need their full concentration whilst working to earn a not inconsiderable wage. If on Monday morning when you go to work if you were doing the same job as 80 other blokes and you knew that one small mistake could cost you a few thousand pound you would be in no mood to laugh and joke. When you have finished and in the pub with your mates you could then heave a huge sigh of relief and let your hair down. We do not see that side because we are not their friends. As they are in the public eye we think we know them. I'm sure Lee loves a laugh as much as we all do, just not when he is at work.

I think he actually comes across as honest really. He'll be upfront if he's chopped it round and say so and trys to give a full answer to the questions. He is actually quite amusing on Twitter too and has some real good banter with Poulter and McIlroy and about his beloved Nottingham Forest. I've a lot of time for him as he's be very generous in giving me stuff for two charity auctions I ran so maybe I am just a tad biased but to answer the OP no I think it's just you

Dont worry OP, I understand what you mean.
As good/nice as a person/golfer LW is, I totally agree with you.

Im sorry buddy but you must be having a bad day,after 22 posts all you can come up with is this.The answer to your question,its you.Lee is under a lot of pressure,i for one dont expect him to be running around with a bloody great grin on his face all day.

Poker.. im a massive fan of Lee, think he a gent in every way , have been lucky to meet him 4 times & each time it was a pleasure .. BUT how is he under pressure ..NOW?? , ok years ago he ago he may have been , but he made for life , he makes millions every year (and good luck to him he deservrs it) .. As i said BIG BIG Lee fan here but if he under pressure i may call it a day mate

Its you!!!, Westwood is a bloody nice down to earth bloke and still No1 in my book.

^^^ my god, does no one grasp what the OP is trying to point out. He never mentioned LW was a horrible bloke.
He just doesn't have that X-Factor, that spark that makes him a global superstar.

Example please ?

^^^^quick example, the tournament in Korea was it? Where he won. Wasn't exactly pulling in huge crowds was he? Why was that? As the OP has put it, he simply is not exhilarating to watch.
I bet, if a certain Mr Woods made the trip regardless of what most here thing of him, viewing figures would had soared.

The OP was not attacking LW as a person, he just isn't spectacular to watch. Thats not a bad thing.

Good point. Surely this is the truth.

I remember Lee years ago smiling and joking a bit, generally showing us his personable side. I guess it's serious work these days or waive goodbye to the top of the pyramid for good.
