The Happy Gilmore

I WAS not fair on 10-year-old Natalie Okri that she was made to stand in front of the cameras as The Britain's Got Talent judges decided on her fate.

She had already been made to sing live in front of millions, a feat most adults would find difficult, let alone a child.

Natalie then had to wait while the public were given their chance to vote.

Susan Boyle went through first, while Diversity and Natalie had to go infront of the judges, who had the final say.

Amanda Holden went for the singer, but Piers and Simon chose Diversity.

The 10-year-old was obviously devastated and she broke down in tears. It was not right someone so young was built up and then knocked down, ie exploited, just for the purpose of television.

Meanwhile golfer Padraig Harrington has been trying out a new golf swing that involves the player running up to the ball before he or she hits it.

The new shot has also enabled the player to gain an extra 30 yards.

This new swing has been named The Happy Gilmore following the 1996 film featuring Adam Sandler.

Harrington is not planning in adopting the routine into tournament golf as he looses accuracy.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, the sport's ruling body, said it was something they would not want to encourage.
