SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted October 10, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted October 10, 2010 Rick Chandler tipped me off today to a Saturday LONDON DAILY MAIL report that reveals the identity of “cigar man†- the celebrated, fake-mustachioed gentleman seen in a recent, widely circulated photo of Tiger Woods hitting a shot at the Ryder Cup in Wales. The Mail reports that the mystery man is a Brit named Rupesh Shingadia. Rupesh is a 30-year-old investment analyst who lives in a, “detached house in South London where he is living with his parents, a retired mechanic and a housewife.†Rupesh's first blush on the phenomenon of his leading role in the photo, “I am embarrassed and overwhelmed. Never in a million years could I have expected anything like this. It is truly surreal.†So why the goofy getup, which included a Groucho Marx-esque fake mustache? Rupesh said his costume was a ‘tribute' to Spanish golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez. Rupesh: ‘I wanted to do something to show my support for the European team and I thought of Miguel. These days sportsmen have become devoid of character. But Miguel does his own thing and I love the way he walks around the course with a cigar clamped between his teeth.' During an interview with the U.K. publication, Rupesh claimed to the Mail that he was an unassuming sort not normally prone to such displays: I have never done anything like this before. I'm just an ordinary guy who loves golf and Âfollows Arsenal.

JohnBarry Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Pretty cool and funny, and he is right. Golf need's it's players to have character, not be mindless, emotionless robots.

Shambles Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Used to have a lot to watch in Golf. There was Arnie's helicopter swing, some Brit with a fantastic chicken wing, Floyed's half done follow through, Billy Casper's silky smooth swing, Chi Chi's home made swing as well as Trevino's. What happened to produce all these educated robots ? Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
