Jimenez hole in one@DDC

[billyg]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He looked genuinely chuffed

 

[happyhacker]

Yeah I like the way he sets about his golf and life. Seems a really nice down to earth guy, in a similar vein to Cabrera.

 

[MVP]

Spanish roots my friend. absolute perfecto.

 

[HTL]

What a guy! Buckets of charisma, drinks like a fish, smokes, messy hair and has a beer belly one of golf’s true characters.

Would love more golfers to be like him

 

[Parmo]

Lol a true hero

 

[Dave3498]

I agree about the Spanish roots MVP. They always seem so laid back. Lorena Ochoa is another. Can't say the same about Seve & Ollie though.

Or Serg!

jimenez is a legend, someone you really wouldn't mind being in your sunday fourball. And also someone who generally plays for the love of the game.

i wish he`d cut off that bloddy ponytail it looks horendous

No way, got to love the porn-star barnet mate!!!

I like jiminez, I have a love of Spain and its wonderful people anyway but the guys attitude is great and I like watching him play. Behind the brits he is one of the 1st I would be cheering for.

 

[Dave3498]

If you cut his ponytail off, he wouldn't be able to play at all, It's a balance thing you see.

The thing I've always loved about Miguel is the fact that his gut enters shot about 10s before the rest of him.

Looks like the Spanish TV version of Arfur Daley/Lovejoy.

Top fella.

Hey, look what happened to Samson... Nuff said.

 

[billyg]

A gentleman, a stoic, an eccentric and all round good chap. For me he embodies the best in golf kind of like ol' Payne Stewart (god rest his soul)

He can cut the mustard, fight like a enraged bull and worry the sheep while charming the rest of us .

A role model , not just in golf but in life. He takes the rough with the smooth, is gracious in victory and defeat and probably the one I will seek out more than any other if i'm lucky enough to find myself a spectator at the Celtic Manor RC.

Would but more were cut from the same bolt of cloth.

We need the Miguel Angel Jimenez' in our sport and our lives and if we find 'em in a fourball- we hang on to 'em.

If I had a Punch 50/50, A Montcristo No.2 , A Cohiba coronas especiales or any other decent Habanos Torro to hand I would light it in your honour today.

Here's to you Miguel

billyg, agree with almost everything but he's hardly a stoic - quite the reverse.

Stoic
1: a member of a school of philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium about 300 bc holding that the wise man should be free from passion, unmoved by joy or grief, and submissive to natural law
2: one apparently or professedly indifferent to pleasure or pain

Youve got me banged to rights there Vis. I suppose I meant it in the more workaday sense of not complaining about his circumstances, being fazed by unfavourable conditions and generally being quite a pragmatist about life and The Game.

It could be argued that this amounts to prettymuch the same thing and a real life application of the spirit rather than the letter of such a term but I don't think it's important to argue over semantics.

It was meant more from the heart than the head- a bit like the chap we can at least agree played a really rather nice iron shot today.

The epitome of ' do what is fair' - perhaps a better ambassador in his way than another who shall remain nameless?

no dispute there!

I sat up until 1 am this morning to see the shot and wasn't disappointed. I have never seen a hole in one where the ball goes in on the fly.
