Oh dear, I dont think even Ian Poulter saw this one coming (or even wanted it); his twitter repost to Ted Bishop's stop acting like a "Lil Girl" tweet has just resulted in the sacking of the President of The PGA America.
The background to the story was that Bishop was pissed off by remarks Poulter made in his book about Nick Faldo's shambolic Ryder Cup Captaincy in 2008. Bishop, after doing a Golf Channel appearance alongside Faldo, called out Poults as being a "Lil Girl" compared to Sir Nick's playing record.
"Really? Sounds like a little school girl squealing during recess. C'MON MAN!" Bishop tweeted.
Rightly or wrongly the PGA of America board voted out of office with just one month left on his two year term.
"The board heard me out and then voted to impeach me," he said. "That is the due process and I respect that, as painful as it might be," Bishop said.
I feel dreadfully sorry for Ted Bishop; he certainly mean for this to happen. I can only imagine how Ian Poulter must feel, if he thought this was going to blow up in Bishop's face, I guarantee he would never have pursued it.
