Jordan rips Obama’s golf game, Poulter races new BMW i8 and more
Martin Kaymer and Bernhard Langer had a long-drive contest in a commercial for Mercedes-Benz — no drivers, just a putter. Bernhard topped out at 190 meters (208 yards), while Kaymer hit one 212.3 meters (233 yards).
I’m personally a little under-impressed here. Jamie Sadlowski averages like 300 yards with a flatstick. Get your distance up boys.
Also, Kaymer didn’t know how old Bernhard Langer is? Bernhard Langer?! Aren’t they both German? Gotta know that one, Martin.

After taking care of Keegan Bradley on Twitter, His Airness went after President Barack Obama in an interview with Ahmad Rashad, proving nobody is immune to wrath of Jordan’s trash talk.
“I never played with Obama, but I would. But nah, I take him out, he’s a hack. It’d be all day playing with him. I never said he wasn’t a great politician, I just said he was a s****y golfer.”
Again, MJ??
Lastly, Ian Poulter and Wu Ashun raced Justin Rose and Paul McGinley in Shanghai at the European Tour’s BMW Masters. Poulter and Ashun hopped in BMW’s new i8 sports car, while Rose and McGinley rode a tandem bike.
Watch the video to see who won, or merely to ogle BMW’s fine new automobile.

Donald Trump claims that he is a 5-handicapper. Trump has even claimed to be scratch. That (you ignorant people) is a ‘Vanity’ handicap for The Donald…just like a 4-handicap is a vanity handicap for Michael Jordan. Both Trump and MJ are very vain people, and they both have a tremendous amount of self-pride, conceit, an way over-the-top abundance of self-esteem in their achievements and how they view themselves – including their ABILITIES. They both view themselves as [SHOULD] having abilities in doing certain things that they simply cannot do as well as they wish they could – playing golf being one of them. Both men probably would rate their lovemaking abilities to be in the top .00001% of all men!!! Get it? Trump’s real handicap is about 18-20. MJ’s real handicap is about 11-13.

Obama can’t golf, and no one is surprised. He is a stealth Muslim President, we can see that by his actions. He supports the caliphate that’s going on around the world. He has weakened and feminized our military. He has been inviting illegal immigrants to steal our country. He has borrowed the US into financial oblivion so that he can give away benefits to his supporters. I could go on, but most of us are depressed about what this socialist/communist has done to our country. Even the idiot Dimmocrats in congress wont even say his name, even though they supported this transformer of capitalism.

Haha. Vince. He may not be MY particular party but get your facts straight when dishing someone. And then tell it to someone who cares. Because none of us are here to listen to your ramblings.

Facts are straight. We already knew Obama sucks at golf. We didn’t need Jordan to tell us. Are you speaking for all your fellow illegal Mexicans friends?

I don’t understand a hack like you doing political debates on a golf enthusiast web-site. If you hate Obama so much, go on Fox News forum or something and cry about it over there.

Mind your own business, Chairman Yao. Obama sucks at golf, and he is a despicable human being. The Dems wont even say his name any more……real Americans want him impeached.

I’ve heard MJ 1hdcp is a joke. I also heard he’s a total scumbag. I hope the 2nd part isn’t true.

I used to work at a golf course in Chicago where MJ put on a charity event every year, and this was back in the 1990’s when he was busy with his “other” sport so he didn’t play as much golf then as he does today. He was a VERY good golfer then (5-6 hcp) so I can only imagine how good he is today now that he gets to play all the time.
The guy hits the snot out of it too. Gets a lot of leverage being 6′ 6″ and being a world class athlete doesn’t hurt either.

You are all ridiculous. MJ plays more golf than any of you, and again he’s MJ! Arguably the greatest athlete alive, he can say ANYTHING he wants. “Ass hanging out his jeans” are you serious with that? Smh. Have a little more respect for people who love the game of golf.

I don’t care about his trash talk, but no golfer past his college years plays golf with a backwards hat and cigar during swing. He fits in on the courts, not the courses…wonder if his ass is hanging out his jeans too

In case you didn’t notice, Jordan is a hack too like 99% of amateur golfers. Now he can trash talk all he wants when it comes to basketball, but he needs to stfu when he talks about golf.

4-Handicappers are Hacks?

Oct 30, 2014 at 7:44 pm
MJ is no more a 4 handicapper than you are a +4 with 120 mph swing speed and carry your 5 iron 225 yards and your drive 320 yards. MJ is a mid-handicapper of around a 11-12.

MJ has NEVER had a 1.4 handicap, or anywhere even close… MJ wants to be that good – maybe he even thinks he should be that good, but the reality is – he is nowhere even remotely close to a 1.4 handicap.
