I used to like this guy, but have recently noticed how he is constantly spitting. The other day he did it just as he was being announced on the first tee. Classy guy. Not.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I never realized how many golfers dip (chewing tabacco). Don't know if Johnson dips or not. But yeah, spitting and dipping are both pretty nasty. I hear Tiger is a spitter too.

seriously? who cares. i've noticed it too, and it's pretty clear that he doesn't dip, he is just spitting. it isn't like he is bending over and spitting in the cup i.e. sergio. so he has a bad taste in his mouth. who really gives a crap.

I personally don't have a problem with the chewing tobacco nor do I think it's classless...as long as they don't spat one on the green. Especially if it's in my line!

You walk around your workplace spitting, do you?

I'm not the biggest chewer in the world, but on the golf course, I almost always have a dip.

I wonder how many guys do actually chew on the course? If it's a lot of guys, they must hide it pretty well, because I can't tell it on hardly any of them.

It's never bothered me with playing partners. It's not uncommon for someone to dip or smoke. Never had someone be rude about it.

Now....if we were being televised and had galleries.....I imagine most guys wouldn't partake.

Not me, I'm retired.:) But I don't chew anyway. As far as Johnson is concerned, I never really noticed.

It's a cultural thing to some extent. Personally I'm not in the least offended and don't see the issue. In some countries noone has a problem with it. Like anything, it can be overdone but that wouldn't be Johnson IMO.

How is this a thread? I didn't notice any spitting. I guess I was too busy watching him play golf. Maybe he had to get the sour taste out of his mouth on #14 after watching Molder make a 9 in the group in front of him and then Goydos do the same thing in his group 5 minutes later.

Ummm. To answer my own question earlier, I am about 90% sure D. Johnson chews. CBS just happened to leave the camera on him walking up the 14th green while they were going to a commercial break and I noticed he spit out his chew, and then quick put his right hand in his mouth to remove any tabacco still in there. It was real subtle, but an experienced chewer can spot that stuff.

I obviously have no problem what so ever w/ this. I myself chew on the golf course. Just thought I'd share..................

I have always dipped while playing golf never have spat on the greens and dont intend to either but I try to conceal it as I know alot of people do not care to see someone spitting all the time.

Doesn't bother me. I don't spit much, but I did when I played baseball, and if I get a mouthful of dust or sand I wouldn't see the problem. It's outdoors, so the workplace comparison is absurd. Wouldn't do it on concrete, in dry sand, or on the green, and I wouldn't hock a big phlegmball, but for spitting excess saliva somewhere grassy I don't see the problem.

I'm wondering if I ever saw Nicklaus or Watson or Crenshaw or Kite spit. Don't think I did. Hey...baseballers do it....so it's OK!
My original point was that when he did it on the first tee whilst he was being announced it was a pretty ordinary look.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
