Allenby threatens to boycott future Australian Opens

not playing anymore in Australia if he continues to get heckled. That is the headline on the Fox Sports website.

I wonder why he gets targetted????

 

Yes I heard the same thing reported on the radio… Talk about leaving yourself wide open. Bet he cops a bit at the Aussie

 

He’s gifted I give him that, but there are plenty of others to fill his shoes.

Allenby is not that precious.

I enjoyed watching Kulacx and the younger ones over the weekend to tell you the truth..the next generation and you will not hear them on a bender like this..

What’s the basis for this latest spat and was there any justification?

 

Drunken louts interrupting his game on the par 3 near “the Pub”.

Gave Allenby the full works apparently.

 

Then Allenby has a point. No one should be subjected to verbal abuse by pissed idiots, particularly if it was in front of his kids and wife.

That’s just not appropriate….

Look out at the Aussie, Sydneysiders are well know for not having any manners, let alone when they get themselves tanked.

GA take note.

 

tell allenby to get off his high horse..who pays him ? us!! thats who, the punters that go & watch golf & pay over inflated prices for balls & equipment. just cos he is a jeckll & hyde golfer. looking for something to blame cos he was playing shit on saturday. let me tell you that so called ‘pub’ was at least 100m in front of & to the left of the green on that par 3 . so who the hell is robert sooky sooky la la allenby to yell out from the tee to people 100m down the fairway to be quiet so he can hit off? havent heard a word about it from badds.com & he was in the same group. allenby had quite clearly already snapped. its because of sooky whingy little boys like allenby that golf doesnt rate on telly .watch him get a birdie there is no smile no nothing …robots.. they should be entertainers not robots..bring back jack,lee,arnold,greg,gary etc they gave the punters some entertainment.

out of the sin bin & loving it!

 

Most of you dill’s wouldnt realise how much Allenby does for Australian Golf or Charity, he has almost raised $10M in the last few years for his charity – kids living with cancer.

He is a top bloke who plays golf because he loves it, and for no other reason.

He wants to win and is very hard on himself.

Every interview he did on the weekend at ther Masters, he presented himself very well and looked like one of the nicest blokes there.

I would think before you knock him again.

 

can’t argue with his charity work. good on him & its done with plenty of smiles & gdays i bet. but these blokes just dont get it .stop whinging & whining on the course just be themselves & everyone would be happy. he’s not the only one by the way. also dont give me the i’m at work out here crap..when i’m at work i have to smile & be happy & joyous all day everyday. its about time the big sponsors pulled their money out when they see how robotic the golfers they sponsor are.

out of the sin bin & loving it!

 

Like i said, he wants to win, Tiger is the worst at it, hits it to 4 feet and looks like someone’s F*&ked his wife.

Allenby is a great bloke, doesnt deserve all the flak he gets, lots of it drummed up by the media to get some attention because the golf industy is very boring, there are no personalities at all in golf.

Maybe all the knockers should read a little deeper into his life and see what a good guy he is and how much he does for the sport and less fortunate people.

 

He does heaps for charity and golf, but he did have a dog of a day.. If he shot -6 that day, perhaps we wouldn’t have heard his complaints….

When he was showing his bag and equipment to the TV guy in the car park before the 4th round, he seemed pretty decent and down to earth in the way he spoke…..

 

I was there on Saturday when he copped the abuse, there is no need for that type of behaviour at the golf, the language they were using was a bit much, at one stage it looked like Badds was going to have a word with the bozo’s but security stepped in

He also copped it from some blokes in the clubhouse balcony on the 18th

Id say they had a mastercard which got them free entry..

 

Anyone that knows Allenby knows he’s a great bloke, always one to offer interviews, not afraid to tell it how it is but very down to earth.

He does plenty for the game and its a disgrace to see people giving it too him like they do. He will be sorely missed by the game in Australia if he decided never to come back.

 

Totally agree with you JimFuryk. It is a disgrace that to see people behaving like this. That behavior belongs at the Footy.

 

Agree totally..

Allenby has a point, like shit, if GA want to give the game some ‘spunk’, it’s risky to bring the good old ‘drink’ into the equation. I see a time bomb awaiting at the Aussie.

I’ve now moved to enjoy Allenby, his position and views as to Australian golf.

He’s a straight shooter and yes, whilst in the past he did at times get under your skin and you got the shits with him; but he is one fine golfer and does show that odd bit of emotion on occasions.

Like the new leader of the opposition, I’m entitled to change my views!

 

Unless we get some “spunk” back into the game, the sport will be as attractive as “Sunday Morning Lawn Bowls” with the over 60’s at the local Bowling Club.

No-one interested…...

The professionals are too “robot” and fail to get the crowd interacting…it’s too predictable, no charges to the finish like the old Norman days (Grant Dodd has a point), no charisma with the game…

It’s in need of change to get everyone interested.

If they need to get pissed, have some interaction with players, then GA are on the right thing!

Allenby then needs to adapt!

 
This is not Allenby’s issue ! This is a media beat up ! This is a journalist grist-for-the-mill blow-it-out-of-all-proportions the-editor-wants-a-story-or-he’ll-sack-me load of bollocks !
FORGET IT ! ITS NOT A STORY ! this is a journo inventing a load of BS for tomorrow’s morning paper !
Don’t get sucked in – ignore it.
end**

 

Agreed, its a media beat up.

Allenby is a good bloke who shrugged it off. He will be playing the Australia Open and future Masters Events.

And lets all hope he does.

 

tell allenby to get off his high horse..who pays him ? us!! thats who, the punters that go & watch golf & pay over inflated prices for balls & equipment. just cos he is a jeckll & hyde golfer. looking for something to blame cos he was playing shit on saturday. let me tell you that so called ‘pub’ was at least 100m in front of & to the left of the green on that par 3 . so who the hell is robert sooky sooky la la allenby to yell out from the tee to people 100m down the fairway to be quiet so he can hit off? havent heard a word about it from badds.com & he was in the same group. allenby had quite clearly already snapped. its because of sooky whingy little boys like allenby that golf doesnt rate on telly .watch him get a birdie there is no smile no nothing …robots.. they should be entertainers not robots..bring back jack,lee,arnold,greg,gary etc they gave the punters some entertainment.

out of the sin bin & loving it!
