Lest Westwood on Close House Filly Course

[Hacker Khan]

Saw Part 6 last night and thought it was excellent . Also saw the Westwood interview with MC at the Turkish Airlines (which he wouldn't have done if he didn't like them) which was also very good. and just to clarify I'm fully aware that he wears FJ shoes but they sounded so bad that they could have easily been made by his sponsor !!! I do agree with others that MC can come across as a bit of a "hampton" but i am a fan of Coach Lockey, i find him genuinely amusing and he doesn't have to try whereas MC , IMHO, just tries too hard at times.

I think he would have had to have done the interview. ISM/Chubby Chandler are one of the main sponsors of the Turkish open, and Westwood is an ISM client. There is obviously a big push to get the you tubers involved in tournament, last year Finch and Shiels were there and Me and My Golf have been there for the last 2 years. I know Chubby who runs ISM is very keen to use social media to promote these kind of things.

So I expect as part of the players responsibilities and appearance fee they had to talk to these you tubers. Which is why Crossfield and Me and My Golf got access to all these stars, including interviews with Rory.

Why do you say he ruined it for the competition winners? They didn't look or sound annoyed on the video, no comments were heard on tape?

The reason he was playing with him was because both are sponsored by your golf travel.

I though it was a good vlog - showed LW to be a decent guy who like to have a bit of fun, and yes MC can get annoying but you now that before you watch it yes?

I did say it was my take on things. The competition winners were hardly in any conversation with them.

I also said I'd never heard of MC before this so I didn't know how annoying he was.

Coach Lockey is a good guy and I have met him a few times as hes a pro at Twires course East Devon[lovely course to play].
I was talking to him in the summer and he mentioned then that Crossfield was going on to bigger and better things and he hoped Mark would be able to employ him in the future,which remains to be seen.

I believe after watching all 6 Lee would have knocked him out or walked off if he had not had to do all the promotional stuff.
Lee just seems a nice guy who would get on with 99% of people.

He has no etiquette and it seems all about him on the golf course but having met him and having a lesson with him he is actually a very nice guy who really knows his stuff.

Great interview with G Mac and one of the Asian guys at the Turkish Open.

Was it your lesson that was blogged and you put it up here some time ago?

Yes it was.
Mark was totally different during the lesson to his demeanour on the course.

For sure but even then I think he asks you (or for sure in other lesson blogs) a lot of questions... I dont want you to show off about how much you know by showing the camera what I might not know... just tell me what I need to know. Its not a weeing competition. I think if I were to have a lesson from him I would want the cameras turned off!

Anyhow, he showed others the way with the whole youtube golf thing. I really liked him prior to him becoming a joke thing (4/5 years ago).

I was told a story the other day. A pro was playing in a comp and the winner would get a holiday. Mike from GM brought Crossfield along and he was in the middle of the fairway playing the fool, filming and slowing everything down while others pros who were trying to play golf and win a holiday were kept waiting on the tee. I understand that Mike got quite a verbal kicking from the playing pros for bringing the show monkey along with him.

 

[LincolnShep]

Or he just thought Crossfield was a cock?

Ha ha - I doubt he would be the first!

 

[Bazz]

I quite like him...wouldn't fancy playing behind him though.

 

[JV24601]

Wow!

For anybody wanting a quick idea of how Westwood feels about the 2 of them then watch Part 5 from 1min 50secs and that brief little chat.
It's embarrassing how bad Crossfield and chum are.

Big respect to Westwood for remaining composed for the round with those 2 jokers. Above and beyond Lee.

 

[woody69]

Some of the comments from you lot are laughable. It was obviously a fun day of golf. Westwood seems to have a very dry sense of humour and was definitely playing along with it and Crossfield and Lockey were having a laugh as they played.

I can understand that Mark's approach my not be everyone's cup of tea, but making assumptions as to what Westwood and the others were really thinking from a YouTube video is bizarre.

Did he run over your dog or something?

Honestly there is some guff being spouted on this thread, Crossfield doesn't appeal to everyone but nowhere in these videos is he out of line or disrespectful to Westwood.

Seriously, chill out.

/\ This.

Firstly - I've never owned a dog.

B - No guff from me. The videos amount to about 2 hours I'm guessing, which is a pretty large chunk of a round of golf so gives a true representation of the round and assumptions can be made from that.
Nowhere did they say to the other 2 anything more than "good putt". Nowhere did Westwood seem to enjoy their company.
Yes he's dry, but to me he was clearly annoyed with the pair of them. I believe it's you and Woody who can't interpret what's going on.
Crossfield answers a question to a YouTube comment saying he's not nervous when playing with a pro. Maybe he should be as his pally act with someone he's just met makes him look like a bigger arse than he already is.

Oh and D - I'm perfectly chilled thanks.

The only person who needs to "chill out" is you! This is a forum, its where people express their view. No one has got out of their box, people have simply stated what they have seen... If your a fanboy then say that but don't tell other what they should and should not say.

Some of the comments from you lot are laughable.

It is human nature to try and perceive what others are thinking and their reactions to that... You see what you see, you may be missing what others see. Not laughable though is it?! Its perception. More of us seem to see it than you in this case....

It's already happened Tony, Matt (Coach Lockey) left 3 weeks ago to join him full time. He's already done a week in Portugal and a week in Turkey since he left.

Where is he clearly annoyed with the pair of them? I'm sorry I'm just not seeing it. You have clearly adopted some faux outrage on behalf of someone who seems none-plussed and behaving no differently to how he acts with anyone else, he's giving help and tips to some of the party, and he's exchanging friendly sarcastic banter with the teaching Pro.

What is the bigger and better thing then? More of the same, or something we will see in the future?

Will Lockey be missed at your club? Was he a good pro there?

We'll agree to disagree.

As Alex says, it's a forum.

It's easy for me to see the relationship strain but maybe I have different standards of how to go on in life and how to act than you do.

Oh and ps. I think you might need to chill out.

No he just happens to share the same view as you And calling me a fanboy is hardly helping your case now is it?

Crossfield is a marmite character , I get that, but making out that Westwood was having some sort of titanic struggle to tolerate Crossfield and his buddy is pure conjecture from those who obviously have an axe to grind about him.

 

[JV24601]

Never ever seen/heard/met the bloke until I read this link yesterday and watched the videos.
Took an instant dislike to him... believe it or not!
