Poulter: ‘I can't shovel s**t uphill forever’

Ian Poulter has taken to Twitter to respond to criticism for not taking part in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, one of the flagship golfing tournaments in his native Britain.

An article in Monday’s Daily Mail had compared him unfavourably to Masters winner Jordan Spieth, who played a tournament in South Carolina the week after his win in Augusta.

The Ryder Cup favourite was quick to give his entirely logical reasons for not playing a course he has previously admitted he does not like.

English club professional Ian Ellis commented on the issue online.

Poulter's response.

Fair enough.
