I just want to know if the caddie hit the shot? Did he stick it from 250? Did McCord and Mickelson have bets on it?

I believe allenby's account of this about as much as I believe the story he told a few months back.

Allenby is a Prima Donna and I'm sad to say he's an Australian.  At the last Presidents cup he wanted to fight Geoff Ogilvy after their foursomes game together insinuating that they lost because Ogilvy played badly.  He also regularly has a big sook when he gets heckled at Australian tournaments but hasn't worked out that he gets heckled because he is a sook.  I formally apologise to all my fellow golfing brothers for Robert Allenby because he is a dick   Please don't judge Australian's by his example

Yes he is, should have farked off a long time ago.

 

Don't judge them by my examples either!

I heard today that this is the 4th Caddy that he has blamed for his shortcomings and "fired".  Golf surely does not need this.

Hope other caddies refuse to work with him.

 

Pulling a don johnson? I imagined he was playing in a white linen suit with the sleeves rolled up.....

The guy will probably make up a story about a group of thug caddies kidnapping him tomorrow and call the news…..oh wait. Even less shocking, Allenby shot 81 and is dead  last after round 1. I'm sure this, along with his other struggles of 2015, had everything to do with who was carrying his bag and raking his bunkers. What an asshat. 

[ZenGolfer]

I was going to say, wasnt he the one who got jumped a few months back?  Maybe his caddy was the one who beat him up.  It sounds like Allenby cant get along with anyone.

I'd noted that after he defamed a couple of helpful homeless locals here in Hawaii I wouldn't believe Allenby's version of this story. Zach then corrected my terminology - they're not homeless, they're "urban outdoorsmen"...

Things keep getting nastier between Robert Allenby and ex-caddie Mick Middlemo, after the later was fired midway through the first round of last week's RBC Canadian Open.

In case you've been living under a rock, Allenby alleges that Middlemo became aggressive toward him during the round after the two had a disagreement on the fourth hole. Allenby explained his side of the story to ScoreGolf.com:

“I said to him, ‘You know this happens every week,'” Allenby said, referring to a disagreement on club-selection. “‘This has happened for like the last three or four or five months. We keep making bad mistakes and you're not helping me in these circumstances.'”

But Middlemo completely refuted Allenby's side of the story:

“The discussion was only about waiting for the wind to die down and hit the 8-iron; the 7-iron was never discussed. Not once. He came up 10 meters short of the front of the green….He hit a bad shot,” Middlemo told ESPN.com.

“He said, ‘I can't believe this fat (expletive),' loud enough for everyone to hear. There's a lot as a caddie I can take but a personal attack like that. … If this was an office in any country in the world, that would be considered bullying. … I can take it if you call me the worst caddie in the world, tell me I'm horrible at picking clubs, but there's a line you just can't cross.”

Most who heard the exchange have come to Middlemo's defense, stating that his version of the truth is what actually happened.

Seems like a great boss......

His caddie, Middlemo doesn't believe the Hawaii story:

 

Middlemo now says he believes Allenby simply fell over and injured his face after drinking too much wine and tequila and not eating enough food.

 

“Do I think he got mugged and bashed and absolutely robbed? No I don't. That's the story I told because that's the story he told me to tell because I wasn't there,” Middlemo told News Corp Australia.

 

“Do I think he just fell over and cracked his head? Honestly I do … I think he fell over and someone picked up his wallet and had a great time with his credit card.”

[Mr_Theoo]

So think he'd hired me as his caddy?

Sure! Sounds like all you have to do is give him a 7 when he asks for an 8 so the mishit will be on the green.

Yep. I'll just take all the numbers off his clubs and just tell him to hit what I say lol

No doubt about it Allenby is a dick.  His career has been off the boil for several years now and it looks to me like he is looking to blame anyone in his grid square for his bad golf.  As for his personality, well, as they say some mothers have them.
