Life as a Pro Golfer > Life of all other athletes
Also just hit that nice hole in one this weekend. Most ever on Euro tour.
Not a sports story but an OT baller story.

quote:
Miguel, would you like some water?"
"My friend, water is for fish."
He pours himself a tall glass of 10-year-old Bushmills whiskey.
"Don't forget—your tee time is in 18 hours."
Jiménez, 51, arches an eyebrow but says nothing. He opens a small metal case and produces a Cuban cigar, which he fires up with gusto.
"I come from a different generation," Jiménez says. "And I'm not a hypocrite. I don't hide the way I am. If I want to have a drink, I have a drink. Why shouldn't I? Is it illegal to drink alcohol? Is tobacco illegal? So why should I care if people see me smoking? I do what I do out in the open. If people have a problem with that they can stick their tongue up their arse and let the rest of us do what we want to do. You can quote me exactly the way I said that." He cracks an impish smile. "And what else do you want me to tell you?"
quote:
A statuesque blonde appears, holding four sweating bottles of beer. It is Jiménez's wife, Susanne, a decade his junior, whom he met at a tournament in her native Austria in 2011 (a year after his divorce from his first wife, Montserrat). They married last year.
"She was on the course watching the golf, and she followed us for eight holes," Jiménez says. "At one point I leaned over and said to my caddie, 'I see a beautiful blonde over there, wearing nice pants with a beautiful arse. I want to know exactly where she is on every part of the golf course.' I would be waiting for my turn to hit, and I'd look over at her. Our eyes locked for a moment, and I smiled. And she smiled back. When I went to the driving range, I saw her there and we started talking—in English!"
quote:
"How does she keep you young?"
"More than 50 years since I was born," Jiménez says, then points a finger southward, "but I'm only 20 down there."
quote:
"I started playing golf when I was 15," Jiménez says. "When I turned 18 I did my military service, and after that I decided I wanted to play golf for a living. I joined the tour when I was 25. I wouldn't play this long if I didn't love it. I love competition. That's probably the biggest reason I keep playing. And so I have no trouble getting up every morning to train, to practice, to do what I love to do. These are the things that people don't see.
quote:
"What else motivates you? Money?"
"For me money is just something you need to live well. But it's not going to make you happier. You are happy when you do things in life that you like. Money helps, but it's a means to an end. Amassing money for its own sake is meaningless to me. I make it to use it. I like Ferraris so I buy Ferraris. I wanted to build a golf academy so I did. I like to do things."
quote:
"Are your sons into golf?"
"Oh, yes, they have the poison in their blood. Miguel Angel [20] is studying and playing golf at university in Fort Lauderdale [Nova Southeastern], and Victor [16] studies English and plays golf at an academy in Málaga. The first thing they say when they see me is, 'Dad, let's go play.'"

It takes a lot of talent and confidence to be who he is with a face like that.

When he acted like a child at the WCG match play event with Keegan made me lose a lot of respect for him.

Is that his wife or daughter?

Keegan was the one acting like a bitch
He was just asking for a ruling

Keegan is a fricking douche.

I think the only interesting thing about him is trying to determine how long it's been since he's bathed.

He was questioning the ruling which is understandable given the situation. He probably should not have told Pepsi to shut up, but Pepsi should be seen and not heard and Keegan should have controlled himself better.

Lone wolf gitano. Dude is legit. Mr. IDGAF.

Not me; Keagan looks like the biggest douchebag on tour. He screams wife beater or serial date raper. He just looks like one of those guys begging to get punched in the face.

He would have chocked out Keegan in record time. followed by a swift bitch slap for his caddy who couldn't keep his mouth shut.

I approve of this thread. He is the fricking man.
