Where is Poulter Moving to

Just to correct Val's misconception...

Puma isn't owned by anyone else - it's the top of its tree.

In fact, it stemmed from one started by 2 brothers - Adolf and Rudolf Dassler. When they 'fell out' Adolf started Adidas (guess where that name came from!) while Rudolf created Puma.

And to differentiate....
Titleist is part of the Acushnet group that includes Footjoy and Scotty Cameron. Acushnet was owned by a US company, but was sold to a Korean equivalent that also owns the Italian brand, Fila.

Missed this post.

Puma are the daddy and owned by Puma (or Puma SE for accuracy)

Accushnet - The Korean equivalent don't own Acushnet and Fila, The Korean company are Fila (or Fila Korea for accuracy).

True although when its going wrong he can be almost as surly as Monty in his prime

They showed Monty having a go at the Sky cameraman from a years back again today. Strange considering they were celebrating his 600th tour event. It is amazingly cringeworthy. Monty explained that he gets angry at himself for hitting a bad shot. Seems to me he gets angry with everyone else.:confused:

Yep will certainly defend Poulter for a number of reasons.

You can defend his character, but his record is a statement of fact. He hasn't lived up to his own expectations yet, and hasn't shown any signs of it recently. I hope he does improve as I'm as big a fan as anyone (except you obviously ;))

His record isnt too bad - certainly got some big tournaments to his name plus his obvious RC record

Guess the majors with a 2nd and a 3rd being the highlights

Unfortunate for Poults that his amazing self belief is the thing that may actually tarnish his career.. For anyone else, he's had an amazing career, but for someone who has made some of the comments he's made, it makes it look like he's fallen short.. Such a shame that he hasn't taken just one major yet to really put the cherry on top...

Undoubtedly a huge success in the RC and although he has a dozen or so European tour wins and a PGA victory he's been rather disappointing in the majors bar the 2nd place in 2008

The comment in regards Tiger is something that will haunt him defiantly - think it will be hard to tarnish his career as such but certainly will be missing that somethign special - same with Westwood and Garcia possibly

Agreed.. I'd pay good money for each of those guys to win just one major...

Definalty - plus Donald

bet Westwood wishes he played that second shot into 18 at Turnberry a bit different and just played for the par
