| Golf: Campbell considered quitting Michael Campbell says he is struggling to transfer his practice form onto the golf course. ABU DHABI - New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell says he's considered quitting professional golf but the only thing holding him back is that he would have nothing else to do. Campbell's new season began horribly when he signed for an 11-over par 83 on day one of the Abu Dhabi European Tour event last Thursday, the worst score of any player over the four rounds. Campbell scored 77 on the second day to miss the halfway cut in the first event of his 18th season in the pro ranks. Disappointingly, his scoring display in the UAE capital continued an embarrassing downturn in form for the 2005 US Open champion who either missed the cut or was forced to withdraw in 17 of 21 events he contested on the European Tour last year. Campbell's 249th overall standing on the 2009 money list was his lowest since joining the European tour full time in 1995 while his earnings of Euro19,655 ($38,545 ) was also the poorest of his career. |

| It's a new year, but the same old struggles continue for Michael Campbell on the European Tour. Campbell is dead last, 18 shots off the pace, after a disastrous 11 over par 83 in the opening round of the Abu Dhabi Championship. The round included five bogeys and three double bogeys. THE COMEDY CONTINUES.... LOL |

| Please look at his results in 2009 and tell me he shouldn't retire. Another SHOCKER year... just embarassing. Closed out his last 5 events with the following results 104th/135th/78th/162/ and DNF Played in 25 events during the year and only made 4 cuts..... Enough said.... I wonder how all you knockers feel now, after my comments of the last 4 years.. you should apologize to me and say Ron you were right! |

| You're a bit late Ron, he's playing in Singapore now. Yes, I know, he shot 5 over in the first round, one shot more than another couple of losers eh? Padraig Harrington and KJ Choi? Keep the verbal diarrhea coming son, it's good for the garden. |

| Meanwhile, in Castellon, Spain, New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell crashed out while an impressive round of 66 helped Australia's Robert Allenby grab a share of the lead at the halfway stage. Allenby was joined at the top of the leaderboard by Germany's Martin Kaymer before play was suspended due to bad light. A group of 50 players will complete their second rounds overnight. Campbell can pack his bags after shooting a 6-over 77, the worst completed round of the day to drop near the tail of the field on 4-over and miss the cut. The out-of-touch Wellingtonian made a solid start to the wind-interrupted tournament on Friday, sitting 28th after shooting a two-under 69 to lie six shots behind first round co-leaders Kaymer and Spaniard Sergio Garcia. However, six bogeys and two double-bogeys marred his response yesterday. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| MIchael has set up his permanent base in Sydney. so lets make it clear MC is not a New Zealander.. He must now be refered to as Australian. Us NZ'ers can not take the embarrassment of him any longer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Golf: Campbell crashes to 75 5:45AM Saturday Sep 12, 2009 Former US Open golf champion Michael Campbell's strong start on the opening day of the Mercedes-Benz Championship lasted just four holes in Cologne yesterday. Campbell raced to within a stroke of the lead after he birdied the second and fourth holes. But his troubles returned at the par four fifth hole and he eventually ended the round tied in equal third last in the 78-player, no-cut tournament. Compatriot Mark Brown fared little better, managing just one birdie in a three over 75. Denmark's Soren Hansen, winner of the event two years ago, leads the field by a stroke after carding a seven-under 65. |

| Golfers in particular go through horrible slumps...so bad that you write them off, then a couple years later theyre contending in majors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No, Ronny wonny, you're wrong. I don't care if he never wins again. All I know is that Michael Campbell is a top class golfer who has done more for New Zealand than knockers like you will ever do. So, as Buddy Holly so famously sang, Rave On! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HI Peetece weetsy..... why are you upset? stop reading.... lets face it your fascinated like everyone praying MC will win something so you can stick it to me. Well its been YEARS now and he just gets more embarrasing every time he plays.... I assume you Australian, I am telling everyone Michael is too... you two will be good buddies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey Ron, do us all a favour mate. Go and grab a nice looking sheep and have an extended honeymoon somewhere. Leave a forwarding address so that I can send the latest "spellcheck" software to you. I'm sick of reading kindergarten reports. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I guess the truth hurts boys.......... How did he do again this weekend.... oh thats right, no good seeing as he didn't even make the cut... SHOCKER! Wonder what the excuse is this time? I here heres moving to Syndey as he cant afford his UK home now. So its offical I am calling him australian, like me many NZ'ers dont want the association with him! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hopefully, they'll get Ron to check the runways for debris DURING take-offs and landings, and not prior to. That might take his mind off this incessant campaign of garbage against MC, whose talents and success are evidently weighing on Ron's mind. Ron, I wager, has never succeeded at anything worthwhile. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey Ron, does he owe you money, or has pinched your nice looking sheep. Is this why you are always on to him lol. They are looking for pedestrians to check out the airport in your area, why dont you apply when they are busy lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ron you are the one that is embarrassing yourself and New zealand. You really need to get a life or maybe a nice looking sheep,dont forget your Wellingtons. lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ronnie dear bou go and get a life. Nothing wrong with Campbell, mate. Try Daly instead. He abuses alcohol, dresses like a freak, acts like a loser, can't play golf worth jack and he always has that extremely long and dumb look on his face. I'm sick of seeing this freak out there. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ron, the only person I'm writing off is YOU, you moron! See ya, punk! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At what point are you going to say "don't write him off".. its been 4 years, that my point, NOW is the time to write him off he just embarrassing himself and New Zealand. He has a home in Sydney, we need to start calling him an aussie, that suits much better for a non performer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Micheal Showed great potential from a young age he has achieved what many others Couldnt and as far as N.Z golf goes he rates Only behind the Fluid Bob Charlie , probably the Greatest Lefty the world has seen and certainly one of the best putters in the Game , I used to Teach Golf I know , so leave off Micheal , many golfers come back stronger after a break and in their Later Years , dont Write Him off | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ron you are sounding rather like an idiot who posts on the tennis forum if Michael Campbell is an embarrassment to NZ golf.. you are just an embarrassment... full stop I totally agree with the two posts that followed your inane comment |
