Poulter defends swearing outburst: "I was f*!@ing misquoted," he insists
|
English golfing ace Ian Poulter has defended his actions at the recent Irish Open when he was fined a record £5,000 for swearing at a marshall – and has even begun his singing career by writing about his experience.
Poulter lost his temper looking for his ball in the rough during the Irish Open at Carton House, believing it to have been trodden on by a spectator. After meeting European Tour Chief Executive George O'Grady he was offered the chance to set his own fine.
"We do not condone that kind of language, especially if it's in any way directed to the volunteers at a tournament," said O’Grady.
But having had time to reflect on the fine, a fired-up Poulter told Anyone For Tee that he had been "f*!@ing framed".
In a stunning outburst he told our reporter: "They said I told the marshall he was feckin’ useless [an Irish euphemism for a rather stronger Anglo-saxon term – Ed]. Well I was fecking misquoted," he said, as he showed his opinion of the PGA's decision in time-honoured British fashion (left).
"What I actually told him that he was a f*!@ing blind little !*&~. And he gave as good as he f*!@ing well got I can f*!@ing tell you.
"He called me a f*!@ing nancy boy Englishman, whose trousers looked like something out of a f*!@ing French %!##'s boudoir!!! Can you believe it? [Certainly not! See picture right - Ed] And he wasn’t fined a f*!@ing Euro.
"This political correctness has gone f*!@ing crazy," Poulter raged. "It’s one f*!@ing rule for me and one f*!@ing rule for others. Just because my f*!@ing clothes are too f*!@ing fancy for them all, they f*!@ing make my life a misery.
"I’ve just about had e-f*!@ing-nough I can tell you!"
A bitter Poulter has asked Anyone For Tee to publish his plight as he believes our readers are better balanced than the "normal f*!@ing golf establishment".
"If Anyone for f*!@ing Tee can’t help then f*!@ knows who can," he wailed. "I'm f*!@ed if I'm going to keep my f*!@ing head down and say sweet FA!"
Poulter has written a poignant song about what he insists is "rough f*!@ing justice in every sense". All proceeds from sales will go into a special swearbox he will carry on every round in the future. "I plan to give the proceeds to needy kids all over the world," he said generously.
Including Irish kids?
"F*!@ no!," he replied. "Those little f*!@{}s can just f*!@ off. And quite frankly, anyone who doesn't like it can kiss my f*!@ing a&$@ 'n all!"
