Ian Poulter is fighting with British Airways on Twitter

Ian Poulter is currently sitting three back of the leaders at the PGA championship, but his nanny will be sitting in coach as his family returns to England, because British Airways has downgraded her ticket, and Poulter is not happy.

Already a prolific tweeter, the golfer took the airline to task on the social media platform this morning for their poor customer service.
Amazing how @British_Airways have downgraded a full fare ticket when you buy 6 seats together in 1 booking. Just doesn't seem right.

Just to make you laugh @British_Airways offer £200 compensation for the inconvenience of downgrading the seat. I paid slightly more....?

I book with @British_Airways so you don't get crap like this & still get crap. Should & will use @VirginAtlantic next year.

Happy to help...? That's not what the duty manager said on the phone this morning. @British_Airways. Can't help now they're over Ireland now

Just making a point. @British_Airways you might not get what you pay for. Why sell something then say you can't have it after it's paid.

The golfer also had to defend his cause to twitter followers who pointed out plenty of mother don't have the luxury of a nanny.
Actually my wife is a real mum, we have the luxury of having some help, as it's difficult to travel with 4 on your own. Lots do it without.

Don't think you should bring into question Katie's mothering skills. You can bash me like you do already. She is a brilliant mum.

Think you guys are missing the point buy 6 seats at full fare. @British_Airways downgrade because they can. #Tossers #MyViolinWorksFine

Poulter eventually decided to focus on the tournament, but his chef had an idea for how he could eek out a few more yards from the teebox.
Hahaha Byron the chef just said if you hit this down the first you might out drive Rory. Hahahaha that's funny. pic.twitter.com/DQqhbPXeA7
