Golf Digest - My Shot: Geoff Ogilvy

http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2014-12/my-shot-geoff-ogilvy Yep, I know these snobs. There are some on this forum I won't name names - some because I forget their handles. Membership collector guy I'm talking to you. :-) Sorry to go negative nabob but there's lots of more interesting positive thoughts in the piece. [QUOTE]SPEAKING OF GOLF SNOBS, I've identified four sub-species so far. The first is The Membership Collector . He belongs to several clubs, all of them expensive, exclusive and always on the tip of his tongue. The second is The Traditionalist . He raves about 6,000-yard seaside courses (preferably in Scotland), plays them with wooden woods and insists golf was better before they invented the bunker rake. Then there's Mr. Big & New . Buys a new driver every six months, has 40 Scotty Cameron putters, drives brand-new cars to courses that are 7,500 yards. Loves huge clubhouses with wine cellars. Then there's The History Guy . That's me. Always talking about old players, old courses, the history of majors and so on. Knows not only about architects, but when and where they were born. IT'S OBVIOUS that narrow driving zones, extreme length and dense grass don't suit me. I dislike them. So how did I win the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot on one of the most penal setups in golf? Well, nobody hit a lot of fairways. On a course that is supposed to reward pure ball-striking and tremendous driving accuracy, the opposite happened, more or less. I wound up lumped in with everyone else. The penal setups are how Phil Mickelson, far from a precision player, has finished runner-up six times. In 2006, it came down to who was best from 100 yards and in. For that week, it was me.[/QUOTE]

Anyone guess who this is?
