Imposter Webb Simpson here

Hey guys, I just signed up the other night and have enjoyed the site thus far. My name is Webb Simpson, I'm a player on the Tour with a wife and beautiful child. I was born in Raleigh, NC, played golf at Wake Forest, and currently live in Charlotte, NC. I found this site through a friend of mine and decided to take a look. I assume you all are golf fans and enjoy the game. Just wanted to get off on the right foot on the forum by making this thread. You can reply asking questions about golf, life on the Tour, or anything you please. So cheers to future good readings on the SandTrap and to good golf rounds ahead. Thanks

God Bless

Hello all, my name is Webb Simpson, and I just signed up for the site the other night. I was introduced to it by a friend of mine and enjoyed going through different articles and threads. I was born in Raleigh, NC, played golf at Wake Forest, and currently live in Charlotte with my wife and beautiful child. I assume you all are golf fans and love the game because you joined this site and I thought this would be a good way to connect with fans of the game and answer any questions. I hope ya'll can catch some of the Masters and cheer me on as it wil be my first appearance and I hope to show the word what I can do. On this thread, you can  ask me any questions, talk about golf, or anything you please. I am always open to connect with my fans. Thanks

Two questions:

1) Why aren't you in the Tiger Woods video game? Not a video game guy?

2) What does Webb stand for?

Still searching,

Oh Jesus Christ, what's this?!?

1.) I have not been offered by EA to be in the game. Something I would like to be involved in, in the future because I play the game myself.

2.) Webb does not stand for anything, my parents just liked the name. I don't really have any nicknames with "Webb", so that's just what I've been called my whole life.

Hi Webb,

I am a big fan.  Keep up the great work.  I look forward to seeing you raise another trophy....maybe next week!

Good luck,

Erik

Thank you, appreciate it. I hope I can put on that green jacket as well next week. It's gonna be a dream come true playing in the Masters, I remember daydreaming about it in school sometimes haha. Can't wait to step up on that first tee.

God Bless

I can promise you wholeheartedly that I am Webb Simpson. If you do not believe me, I guess there is not much I can do to prove you wrong; but you can ask me anything to question me if you still don't believe me.

Is This really Webb, reading other threads many people on this site have wanted a tour player to come along, do we have one now....

Not sure if this is real or not...

But it would really be a cool bonus to the forum to have PGA tour members contribute.

Yes, this is real. I do enjoy reading different articles and posts. I like hearing peoples views on different golf topics.

It sure would, but my money is on it being another Patrick57 guise.

I see that you are a +4.8...what is your lowest handicap ever?  I recall that Tiger was something like a +8 at one point.  Have you ever played a practice round with Phil?  Does he give you shots or is he about a +4.8 also?

How about uploading a current photo of you and your beautiful family?

is ths fo real ?

Good to have you aboard.

I have  a couple of questions, if you don't mind.

1. - Regarding long putters, in your conversations with other players, would you say that the consensus is that in a couple of years you won't be able to use them?

My guess is that they accept that its days are probably numbered and are fine with it - and probably care less about the issue than the average person on this site.

2. - Do you think that professional players really need their caddies lining them up on the tee and on fairways? I think it's a very "bad look". I've never seen them make any adjustemnets, so I'm guessing it's not necessary - just a confidence thing for the players.

To Shorty,

Thank you, glad to have joined.

1.) Well, that's a tough question. Talking with the players that also use long putters, we do know that there is a good amount of criticism out there. However, we are still playing and preparing like they are going to permenantly remain part of the game. If it ends up that they are deemed illegal, so be it, and we will change back.

2.)  I think the majority of players do not need it. But personally, I do not have any problem with a caddie lining them up because it is still within the rules of the game. As for a "bad look", the players on Tour don't really care as long as they score low.

Hope those answers are sufficient.

I think I have stayed right around +4.8 in my professional career. As for Tiger, yes, he was and still is one of the best on Tour. I have played a couple of practice rounds with Phil, (great guy), last year at the Wells Fargo Championship, and at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. I'm not sure exactly what his handicap is, I would imagine around he same, but during practice rounds players don't usually have head-to-head matches. It's just fun to get to know the course with a buddy of yours, enjoy the day, and sign some autographs.

God Bless
