Watch Ian Poulter wipe out on the ski slopes (because he’s OK)
If we’ve said it before, we’ve said it a thousand times: Golfers and skis don’t mix.
Ian Poulter once again proven that the world’s best at performing a planted motion don’t prove out to be the most adept when they’re flying down the slopes.
Poulter was enjoying some skiing in Utah during golf’s short off-season with his family and friends when he wound up losing control and crashing near some trees and poles just off the main portion of the run. The Englishman shared the video as it played on his computer so he could mute the parts where he’s definitely cussing. Nice of him to keep it safe for work.
The Ryder Cup stalwart deserves a little R&R, particularly after a last-minute trip from his Orlando home to Hong Kong to maintain his European Tour membership and chances of representing his continent in the biennial matches next fall in Minnesota.
