For me, it has to be Gary Player. Fancy making allegations about drug usage and saying that you know who's doing steroids but not giving any names. It seems like he's been trying to draw attention to

I don't hate anyone. I don't even dislike anyone. However, one guy's been rubbing me the wrong way lately. Gary Player. You can look up what Tom Watson said to him about pressing the grass dow

Brave perspective. Did you really have to dig up a five-year old thread for that?

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.

V.J. carries himself better then anyone on tour. Like everyone who is in the public eye he has maybe said a thing or two he shouldn't have but who hasn't. He is a gracious loser and winner and a genuine sincere guy. I wish him nothing but the best everytime he plays and admire his work ethic and passion for the game. He is a true professional.

I wouldn't say "hate" but Tiger's caddy has a serious attitude problem. In fact, so does Tiger.

As someone said before golf is about entertainment, not letting out a string of words that would make even me proud while on camera (he leads the tour in fines for dropping the F-bomb on live TV). Everyone gets mad at themselves about the game and we all have the same problem, but keep a lid on it. After all you're on national TV.

I agree that TW and his caddie might be seen to have an attitude problem, but lets not forget that 'Steve' has a very difficult job to do in ensuring that Tiger can play amongst the chaos. Having such a protective caddie is part of the reason why Tiger has been so successful in recent times. But having said that, he does seem to be a bit heavy handed in his disciplining of spectators and the media. They should not forget that without the media on the course, Tiger would not be earning what he his and golf would not be so popular as it is today.

So now "entertaining" is only "behaving properly, and often like a robot"? I find it "entertaining" when a pro has a temper tantrum.

Besides, golf for Tiger is not about entertainment. It's about winning.
not letting out a string of words that would make even me proud while on camera (he leads the tour in fines for dropping the F-bomb on live TV).

That's a total guess, and has been said by many others before, he's on TV more than anyone else. My experience with Ian Poulter shows that every pro can be an ass under the right circumstances, and I've taken pictures of Tiger, and he sure as heck didn't act that way.

In fairness, his attitude stems from inappropriate behavior. As it does for a lot of pros. Taking pics during his swing is just wrong and his outburst is reactive. Look what happened two weeks ago. Rod Pampling is putting for a second place check, fedex points, improving his world ranking, etc. What happens? As he's going through his putt some idiot screams "Way to go, Phil." Is that appropriate?

First of all I don't hate anyone. That's a big harsh. However, I'm not a fan of Ben Crane. And this isn't entirely fair as the guy has picked up his pace of play but he was so annoying to watch. Also, I plugged him into my fantasy golf lineup a few weeks ago and he withdrew right before his tee time

Second guy who comes to mind is Bubba Watson. Him not allowing any of the TV guys (Maltbie being one that comes to mind) get anywhere near him on the weekend at I think it was the US Open. Plus he just comes across as a jerk.

I think Ian Poulter may now get some honorable mention after a recent thread or two

Hate is way to strong a word but the pros I can't stomach are:

Ames-just comes off like a jerk to me
Sabbatini-I loved his talk of going after Tiger but he lost me leaving Tiger's tournament early with cash in hand

I don't hate any of them but I can't ever find myself rooting for Hefty, err Mickleson. Just don't dig the guy is all.

For me it's Gary Player...who wants to see that in Sports illustrated? But that's not why. I bought a driver from his company. Returned the club. Never got my money back, wrote continuously to the company and later it went out of business. That SOB owes me $168.00. Plus he's an egotistical a hole. Makes me sick every time I see him. Plus he's an ass that had to make sure he beat Jacks record of playing in the most majors even though he should have bowed out gracefully like Jack did.

Actually yes! Googled "hate Gary Player" and it lead me to this site. By the looks of it I'm not the only one who hates him.

I know JJ well from him being a cousin of my best friend growing up. He's pretty damn "aw-shucks" alright and a genuinely nice, generous guy.

I don't hate anyone they just seem arrogant or just get on my nerves for various reasons.

Sergio

Zach Johnson

Johnny Miller, and I know he's not actually playing anymore but he is a very annoying golf analyst.

I don't really care for DL3. The guy just bothers me with his little rich boy uppity attitude. Plus he walks like he has a stick up his butt or something. He has never really done anything except for one PGA (argueably the weakest major). A major underacheiver who seems to dominate at Harbour Town (the week after the Masters). Something about the guy that just irritates me.

Same here. And I don't like his face. Its stupid.

I couldn't agree more. DL-1/3d is a bore.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
