Will James “El Tigre” Booker Live Up to Hype in Volusion Putt Putt Masters Tournament?
James “El Tigre” Booker felt robbed back in 2001 when his four putt putt wins in one year was dubbed “the Booker Slam” rather than a Grand Slam. “It shouldn’t matter that they weren’t all in the same calendar year. I held all four titles at once. That should count for something,” he said then.
Tigre faces an uphill battle, as he has not proven as dominant as in previous years. Some speculate that his putt putt skills have declined since leaving his first coach and marrying his bikini model/nanny girlfriend. Some say he’s lost his swing. Tigre vehemently denies anything of the sort.
Booker decided that 2008 would be the year to prove his critics wrong. However, after the first day of the Volusion Masters, Booker’s name is nowhere on the leader board. “I just lost my concentration. Tomorrow is another day.” At one point, geek/marketing ninja Michelle Greer took a picture of the golfer in midswing. The incident triggered an outburst by Tigre, who demanded that Greer be escorted out of the tournament.
“He’s been doing this crap for years. If I let it get to me, I wouldn’t be doing my job,” she said.
Will Tigre come up with one of his legendary comebacks this weekend? We shall see. Check out/comment on Day One’s highlights on Flickr.
