Kiwi golfer Michael Campbell's whinge at an airline charging him for excess baggage backfired badly when followers blasted him for expecting preferential treatment.
The retired former major winner was slapped with a $690 bill upon arrival in Wellington from Spain - for exceeding Jetstar's allowed baggage weight limit by a whopping 46kg.
Campbell, who claims the baggage included golf clubs and a suitcase "full of items for charity", took to social media to vent his frustration at the airline - and at followers who questioned the legitimacy of his complaint.
The Hawera-born 48-year-old pulled no punches - calling one critic an alcoholic.
