For the sake of golf, it's always nice to have 20-somethings playing well. But for my money, I'd take Hunter Mahan and Sean O'Hair all day. Those two are going to be more consistent on a week-to-week basis than Holmes.

SEAN O'HAIR IS THE SLOWEST GOLFER ON THE PLANET!!!!! i would take mahan, then homes, then romero (congrats) and world rankings 50-700 before i ever played a pro-am with o'hair this rant brought to you by: fizzy-lifting drinks

driver- R580XD 9.5*
3 wood- m/speed
hybrid- cft ti 4h
irons- fp 4-gap
wedges- 54* and RAC satin 56* 12 bounceputter- 1/2 Craz-Eballs- DT Carry, e5, anything found thats is good shapeshoes-adidashome course - nothing - uh oh. perhaps pleasant view againschool...

Mahan all the way...had a chance to see him up close st the President's Cup in Montreal, impressed the hell out of me. I don't know what it is about Holmes, he just rubs me the worng way.

All this obsessing about pre-shot routines. The question is does he have the game to have multiple wins in the next couple of seasons. There are plenty of slow players and players with odd routines. How many times do I go nuts waiting for Furyk to finally putt the freakin' ball? Many, but that has nothing to do with his ability to win.

Is somebody obsessed with this guy? He's a journeyman with one good TV appearance. Buy him a ring and take him out for the evening.

I love JB Holmes...I love how he plays golf the "grip and rip" style..it makes golf a lot funner and interesting to watch...I just love that he swings with passion on every shot-- a few guys who do this...Tiger,Camilo Villegas,John Daly, etc.. you have to love the intensity especially on the playoff hole at the FBR Open where JB hit that tee shot over the bleachers and walked from the tee box with his shoulders high..i just love that kind of golf..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I've just fallen off my chair, r7 - you've said something I agree with.

Now I'm going to sue you for causing personal injury.
