One of our own V Jimmy Bullard

At one point he was +1. He gave going pro a go in 2013 on the EuroPro tour but quickly found out that he wasn’t at the level required.
He played a 6 holer with poulter and Westwood start of season, eye opener for him, they were streets ahead… especially poulter.
Great patter from Bullard
 
Correct Westwood called him out “we didn’t come out here for you to lay up” and Bullard took the bait, was funny though
Few years back he did a thing with Andrew Coltart where on a Par 3 they went closest to the pin with every club in the bag and he beat him with about 90% of the clubs.
 
This was a really enjoyable watch, great to hear Ewen say he just loves playing golf, so many pros make out that it's just a job.
Tubes and Ange were in dreamland, they couldn't believe what they were watching, brilliant when big Ange walked away with the flag, so engrossed in the game.
Best I've seen JB play, you can see his professional pride and instincts come to the fore, so competitive.
I'd love to see that game with Ewen, Gazza and Ally !!
 
That’s probably the weakest part of his game, along with chipping around the green.

He played O’Hara a few months back who is also very good and if his putting was better he would have battered him.
Fair enough mate - I’ll defer to your knowledge of Jimmy’s putting prowess, the video being my first viewing of him on a course.

Seemed to be pretty reasonable at his lag putting, but what do I know. The lad Ferguson on the other hand struck me as pretty underwhelming on the greens for a pro. But I’m sure there was a bit of kidology going on. He fell foul of Jimmy’s pride before a fall (cabbage drive) on the last when he bigged up the 7 wood only to miss the three footer (make the putt first Ewen!) I’ll keep an eye for him whenever I stick Sky Golf on for the odd DP tourney.

The old adage applies I guess - drive for show, putt for dough.
 
That's me finally watched it all (marathon), admittedly I re-winded a lot to listen to the chat again, riveting stuff, very enjoyable.
For those without the endurance for golf the Rangers stuff is around the '55' minute mark.
 
I like watching you tube golf videos, makes you appreciate just how good tour pros are. Bullard is a very accomplished player but cant get neat the tour pros when he plays them. Saw him play former Ryder Cup player Ross Fisher in a recent upload and he couldnt get near him.

The greens that Ewan Ferguson normally putts on will be completely different and much slower from greens set up for the best players in the world.
