Golf fully embraced the Twitter world in 2010, even luring the reticent Tiger Woods into the fold (though Phil Mickelson remains a holdout). Stewart Cink and Ian Poulter, meanwhile, are two of only 17 athletes with more than one million followers, according to Business Insider.
The game's Tweeters have been a frequent source of amusement, often unintentionally, as John Daly demonstrated with this nice Thanksgiving Day sentiment that was, in fact, a lead-in for a shameless sales pitch:
"I have so much to be thankful for---Happy Thanksgiving everyone --- wishing you all the best! Also, biggest Shopping Days of the Year---how about some LOUDMOUTH'S for Christmas!!! & use PROMO CODE JDnation for an EXTRA 15% off thru next Tuesday!!!!"
We'll get right on it, J.D. With that, here are the highlights (or lowlights, depending on one's perspective) from golf's year in Twitter:
From Paul Azinger (@PaulAzinger), regarding the 6-iron shot Phil Mickelson hit from the trees on the 13th hole at Augusta National in the final round of the Masters:
"by the way Phils shot was the best I've ever seen at Augusta mostly because of the taters it took to try it!"
