Ironically, Erik had knocked me out of the main event the day before. We met up with Daniel and the other qualifiers in the lobby before we took the shuttle to the course. I came out to the Bahamas with a pair of golf shoes that would make you think I was an actual golfer and hopes that I wouldn’t embarrass myself too much. I said that I was going to practice and even get a lesson, but neither of those actually happened. It’s not that much of an issue on the green felt, but I’m a lock to choke with a club in hand with $20 on the line.Įven so, I still enjoy to play here and there and when I saw that there was to be a freeroll to play with Daniel Negreanu that was definitely something that I wanted to win. Finally, when there’s money on the line, I’m destined to play my worst. I made a birdie putt during the ’07 WSOP. I’ll drain a putt when it’s for double bogey, but when it’s for par, the outcome isn’t quite the same.
I’m the type of golfer that’ll drive the ball straight and long off the tee only to chunk the approach in the following shot. One of them, Michael Jensen, tells the story here… There was plenty of other stuff going on, including a golf match between Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu and some lucky freeroll qualifiers.
