Who's the worst?

Well it was debated to the death who the best in the world was, anybody got any nominations on who the worst golfer is?

A guy I used to play golf with called Dave Caton.... I had been playing 3 months , he had been playing 3 years. I beat him by 30 shots and my score was 120. he never improved and that was 10 years ago.

I heard on talksport a while back about a chap who kept entering into the open?? was going round in 120+ but entered under a different name each year.......or something like that??

Somebody might be able to throw a bit more info on this??

It's got to be the legend that is Mike 'Porky' Parry from Talksport.

There's a video of him on their website & on youtube trying to hit a driver under the guidance of Ian Poulter. Hilarious.

Thanks for an amazing link John!

My favourite line;
"He turned up with his mail-order clubs as ... Arnold Palmtree"

That Flitcroft article made me laugh outloud didn't go down all that well in my office but  it is nearly christmas.

I don't think he deserves the moniker of worlds worst golfer though, he strolled up to an Open course set up for the pro's having never played a full game of golf in his life and shot a 121, not a bad effort for a first go if you ask me.

Also 2 of those shots were complete duffs off the first tee, I think he deserves a bit of praise for saving the round after that magnificant start.
