Michael Sim - Nationwide Tour

[TR66]

After a horrible 2011 which included another two months off due to back related injuries, my favourite homegrown golfer Micky Sim is back on the Nationwode tour which starts this week in Bogata.

I hope he comes out firing like he did in 09 and more importing hope he has a trouble free year with his back. This kid has sooooo much talent.

[virge666]

No medical exemption ???

he must have made enough cash in teh first few weeks to keep his card ????

[TR66]

He's on a conditional status, not exactly sure how many events that get's him into.

Maybe someone can enlighten us.

[LowTee]

Agree hope that he is injury free this year as he is a great player

he wont be . . . his back has been giving him shit for years now.

So much talent - and the body just lets him down, again and again.

[simmsy]

My fav. player too. Hope he can have a good run at it.

[Courty]

One of the nicest swings going around, IMO.

[TR66]

65 in the second round has him T3, 9 Birds 3 bogeys.

It's just great to see him out there going low again. Simply Awesome!

Having seen his American missus up close at the '10 Australian Open, I hope it was shaggers back.

I always thought it was joondalup as my mates worked there and used to talk about him as a 14/15 ur old!

[simmsy]

yeah that's what i've been told. a mate of mine knows him and told me that.

[Johnny Canuck]

He might have ties to both. A mate of mine was working at Joondy and he said Sim was there all the time. Another mate is a Lakelands member and he has told me a bunch of Sim stories.

[simmsy]

Maybe he moved to Joondy when he realized nothing good ever comes from LL.

[simmsy]

Pretty sure Metherel? Is/was his coach.

[Veefore]

I think Sim was at LL before being recruited to Joondy. They have a strong pennants recruiting program.

I think his coach for most of his time in WA was David Milne. Not sure after he went to the AIS.

[simmsy]

sorry you're right V4, DM was the one i meant.

[TR66]

He was a member at Lakelands till he was about 13, then joined Joondalup, and is coached by David Milne.
Don't want to give to much away but lives close to the course at Joondalup.

[TR66]

T13, not a bad start from the boy.

[simmsy]

yep pretty solid. only 1 loose round. hopefully he can gain some confidence out of it and his body feels good.

[TR66]

Bumpity Bump, c'mom Mickey Boy.

[simmsy]

Faded unfortunately. C Percy did ok.

[TheAwesom1]

Wasn't he supposed to be our next great superstar years ago?
What ever Happened to Nick Flanagan?

[Johnny Canuck]

Injuries.

[simmsy]

Yep. Can't get his body right.

[Minor_Threat]

Wasn't he supposed to be our next great superstar years ago? What ever Happened to Nick Flanagan?He had a win this year on Web.com (Nationwide). Certainly hasn't been consistent though.

[sms316]

He had a win this year on Web.com (Nationwide). Certainly hasn't been consistent though. And the win he had would be due to one of the great flukes of the year.

And the win he had would be due to one of the great flukes of the year.

He did get lucky to make the playoff.... He always looked the winner once in it though!
