Several of the volunteers here at The Memorial have all named the same guy: Bubba Watson. "Biggest jerk out here, and the complete opposite of guys like Vijay Singh" one guy said.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I think most people in this thread are like myself, they don't genuinely hate..they just dislike.

I've had the opportunity to meet Weiskopf three times, the first when I was 11 or 12 at the Buick Open in the early 80's. He has always been decent and genuinely interested in what I've had to say. I'm not saying he's had his moments with others, but can only speak for myself -- nice guy.

Never been a fan of Marco Dawson, ever since I followed him a bit at the John Deere classic he seems a bit irritable on the course at least

John Daly- Hes a fat pig, no respect for the game. Gives golfers a bad name

I wouldn't say he gives golfers a bad name. John Daly isn't exactly the first type of person that pops into peoples heads when someone mentions golf.

No but on numerous occasions when im trying to convince my friends that golf is a sport, they mention John Daly and they say "if it was really a sport a fat pig like that wouldnt be able to play, or even competing in the feild"

Next time you try to convince them golf is a sport remind them that the definition of a sport is

an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature And you'll know how to convince them if they say golf doesn't require skill :P

What about when Nationwide Tour player --CASEY WITTENBERG-0-remember made that putt at the amateur at Oakmont and walked away whenever it was still rolling..he went to the next tee.. everyone hated him...that was the most arrogant thing ive ever seen in golf

This seems interesting... can you elucidate on what Wittenberg did in the US Amateur?

I don't personally hate anybody on tour (and try not to hate anyone at all, for that matter), but I dislike Sabbatini and Garcia; I also have mixed feelings about Jerry Kelly (although he went to college 15 minutes from my house).

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

I have always disliked Sergio. Just the way he carries himself. The spitting in the cup thing was horrendous. I definately don't like Sabbatini either.

Have you read anything that he's written about the game? Why do you say that he lacks respect?

Yes he's overweight, but he's a truly extraordinary talent and plays an exciting game (when he's on form, that is ....). Perhaps he's got too much talent for his own good, it happens sometimes in sports. Like someone else said earlier, the big problem with golf these days is some of the complete bozos in the gallery at tournaments. Why don't all of us here agree to publicly humiliate any guy we hear shouting " in the hole " at an event, specially after a tee or approach shot. Now THAT's what's giving golf a bad name IMO. What rock do these people crawl out from anyway? Shove 'em back under, I say! \rant

Surprisingly, Ames is a pretty nice guy! His kid goes to my sister's school and we often see him picking up his kid, and he is always nice enough to chat with everybody.

Ditto on Rory.

I still dislike Chad Campbell and his stick in the ground swing, manurisms etc. He's like a robotic Pilsbury Doboy.

Now that was VERY naughty of you, and furthermore highly politically incorrect.

And most amusing. I won't be able to look at the fellow quite the same way every again heheheh ......

You need to dump your friends and find some new ones - right away.

You deserve better than that (I hope) .....

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
