Message to Darren Clarke

efb

No, he'll come out all chest puffed up like a cockerel, defending his position no doubt

People People, listen celebrities (sport music movies whatever) are just like you and me i.e. they have good days they have bad days.

They don't go around like robots with a smile on their face 24/7.

And DC is no exception, yes i'm sure he's narky on occasions but then again who isn't... look at Mr T Woods:cool:

Watch the haters and critics become his biggest fans now

The thread should be renamed to message to Darren Clarke - Open Champion 2011

I think the things Darren said in his speech and his press conference showed that he is just a "normal" guy who loves his family. Of course he may have bad days and be grumpy - he's not a plastic celeb.

There's nothing worse than bandwagon jumpers.

The OP was spot on, even Darren himself would admit that. he changed his attitude this week and it has obviously worked wonders for him. How many times has he mentioned attitude as being the reason for his success this week? In previous months, as the OP as stated, his attitude stunk. He's remedied that now..onwards and upwards.

To think I was too angry to reply to this thread a couple of weeks ago.

Good man Darren.:)

He used to be difficult but his attitude hasn't just changed overnight as you suggested.

Yep, clearly he read the OP and bucked up his ideas. Maybe he will thank him in his press conference?

He showed great composure despite heavyballs criticism ringing in his ears

Agreed - he clearly should. I also thought that McIlroy showed a bad attitude when he didn't thank the boards.ie posters in his US Open speech after they had pointed out that he had to face up to his putting problems and cut out the twitter use. Up until that time, Rory had never actually realised that it would be good to be better at putting and thought nothing of tweeting between shots.

Anyone notice how much of an effort Clarke put into making sure that his fellow competitors' games were not disturbed by the increasingly excitable crowd. He did his best to quieten them several times for DJohnson and then again for Fowler and Bjorn (sponsored by Tic Tac ) as he headed home.

Can't remember too many others exhibiting this type of behaviour at crunch time.

Ambassador.

He mentioned this in the press conference and said it was just etiquette but it showed that even under pressure he remembered to be fair.

hate to bring reality/logic or anything of that sort to an internet message board but the OP never actually questioned Clarke's golfing ability he was only commenting on how grumpy he was one day on the telly

if you really think that you know sfa about golf and obviously have not watched DC play golf in the last 2 years or so

Opics

heavyballs had an epic fail with this thread.

Well done Darren. 2 wins in 2 months with 1 being a major. Great stuff.





This thread reminds me of the poster in another forum who started a thread about Rory being overrated 1 week before the US Open :pac:

I can read, thanks. No need to be so grumpy. Isn't Darren being grumpy what you posted about? Oh how things have changed :rolleyes:

Clarke seemed to have a great mood recently. His good mood has resulted in multiple wins. He worked hard for those wins. He obviously has an interest in playing golf. Meaning this thread was very badly timed.

What a slap in the face to the haters, Well Done Darren, you deserve it!!

Precisely. Even Peter Alliss mentioned how he seemed different this week to his 'brusque' attitude of the past.

PhilipMarlowe

Heard Clarke interview clip on part of Morning Ireland this morning in which he said as much himself, that he sometimes hated the game recently and was guilty of having a bad attitude etc.

Plenty of people here are well wide of the mark... another closure.
