Lingdren's crazy golf bet
Friday, June 29, 2007
You might have heard about Erick Lingdren's golf bet yesterday. The Full Tilt Poker pro, bet against fellow 'Tilters Gavin Smith and Phil Ivey for an amount rumoured to be over $300,000 in total.
The bet was that Erick could not play 4 consecutive rounds of golf at Las Vegas' Bears Best golf course, walking and carrying his clubs, and shoot under 100 for each round.
That's a tough bet - but he did it and made A LOT of money. He's done better on the golf course than at the WSOP so far, even though he did make a final table.
Erick used to be a bit of an athlete and I remember him betting someone else that he could dunk a basketball for a chunk of change a little while back. He won that easily too - throwing it down on his first attempt.
There's a video below from the guys at Raw Vegas. Some more footage should be released soon.
You might not be able to beat him at golf, you can play online poker against Erick Lingdren and other pros at Full Tilt Poker.
