Lee Westwood - Open Golf

**Greenbeard** · 21-07-2018 11:25 PM

Now lives in Edinburgh. Supports Notts Forest but says he's been meaning to get to a game at Easter Road. Let's see if he lives up to his promise to wear green at Carnoustie on Sunday to demo a preference for the better team in Edinburgh. Tried to persuade him to go white shirt, green sleeveless jumper on top!

Are you dating him? If he’s in red or dirty red can we assume your romance is fleeting and finished?
Remember that his wardrobe for the week will be have been sorted. Don’t be too disappointed.

No he doesn't and no he's not...
Lives in the new town (townhouse) and a member of Renaissance. He played mortonhall once for a knock around with his son.

Can regularly be seen at the braids though.

***HibbyAndy*** · 22-07-2018 07:13 AM

Yeah, she moved to East Lothian and he moved up here to be closer to his kids.

Well story in the paper not that long ago about him donating stuff to a charity shop in Morningside because he lived close by.

Maybe he has 2 houses, he could afford it.

He does also have a place on Tyneside. Think he's back there more following his spit from Laurae.

But defo stays in town. No many charity shops in the West end so maybe just popped up there post Braids practice.

Either way: good guy and promotes Scottish Golf well.

***BroxburnHibee*** · 22-07-2018 09:30 AM

I'd imagine this guy has memberships all over the world and I don't see whats wrong with him playing the Braids, its a cracking wee course.

***Scooter*** · 22-07-2018 09:34 AM

His son and daughter both go to uni here

The most high-profile Hibs supporting golfer was always Bernard Gallacher.

Raymond Russell was another. Nowhere near as successful as Gallacher though I remember him finishing in the top four at the Open once. Not sure if he's still on the circuit but he did used to wear green and white if he was in contention for a title on the final day.

Westwood seems to me a bit like the English equivalent of Colin Montgomerie. Terrific player but just lacking that extra something required to land a major.

True but no where near as miserable as Monty!
