This week's caption competition features eccentric English golfer Ian Poulter.
Here we see him taking time out to improve his putting using a football before the rain-delayed final round of the Italian Open.
Poulter is well known for raising eyebrows with his unusual clothing and hairstyles, so it's no surprise to see him practising in a strange way too.
Has the moisture in Milan finally got to this talented man or is there a method to his madness?
Congratulations to Adrian Wade from Canada , the new proud owner of a BBC goody bag! His winning caption was:
