Nino Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 No Golfer here, but this is my kind of guy ... because of his attitude to life : "A nice glass of wine, a puff on a cigar and a few clubs. It sounds like a decent night out -- except these clubs are golf clubs. When Miguel Angel Jimenez became the oldest ever winner on the European Tour following his triumph at the Hong Kong Open in November, he celebrated in the only way he knew how -- with a big, fat cigar." Must be my brother from another mother ! Had the pleasure to see him last year at the Festival in HAV - truly a great guy. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/18/sport/golf/jimenez-living-golf/index.html?hpt=hp_c4 Pictures are from the CNN portrait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInSmoak Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Nino, great find and post. Interestingly enough, a few years back I read a magazine article featured on Miguel Angel Jimenez. After reading about him and his philosophy on life, I became very interested in cigars. Reading that article was my kick start into cigars so to speak.

AndrewNR Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Perfect, What on earth is he eating though? Looks like a platter of crumbed sardines and sun dried tomatoes... Can't say I'd match that with a wine and cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have an online golf magazine and get The Mechanic in it as often as I can. His carefree, relaxed approach to life (and golf) is so refreshing in a sport that takes itself far too seriously. Would love a round with Miguel and Darren Clarke (although it'd be hard to see the green through all the smoke!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuma Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What a class act. I love the fact that he honors golf in a way that has allowed him to go beyond golf and enjoy the finer things in life. And the fact that he does not care what people think of his smoking or drinking is so refreshing in this mad pc world. His laid back approach to life is so Spainish/European which I greatly admire.
