Zach Johnson - his "I'm just a good little God fearing farm boy from Iowa" act is really lame and he somehow comes across as almost arrogant about it. He praised God over and over last year after The Masters. Hey Zach, God doesn't care who wins The Masters.

I have never been a Greg Norman fan... his very inaccurate claim that Finchem stole the World Tour idea from him.

There's absolutely no doubt who came up with the World Tour idea - it was Greg Norman. He was talking about it and promoting it and then seemed to ahve the backing of the world's leading players and...

Finchem and the PGA Tour whipped it away from his grasp. The World Tour was originally going to be a multi-event Tour, with something like 10-12 big tournaments across the globe. The 4-event (including the World Cup) WGC was a compromise, which was supposed to take premier standard golf across the world. While Norman did his best to look enthusiastic at the launch press conference, you could tell he was absolutely gutted. And, the way it has turned out, he was right to be. As I share in Norman's disappointment, I guess my hate-figure (if one can hate someone one doesn't know) is Steve Finchem. Having said that, I agree that the Players' should be a Major. Just not a fifth.

Jim Furyk...

Have you not seen the movie Beowulf, then? The Grendel monster is even uglier. Sometimes, it's marginal, but the Grendel wins it for me.

Is that Tim Finchem's brother or something?

Pffffffft.

Funny, I posted Jim Furyk as the guy I don't care for, and Norman has been my idol since I was a kid. Everyone here has posted the opposite.

Ha. Oh well, guess I always have been somewhat of a contrarian.

Hate - Tiger Woods; he's a major AH; I can stomach everyone else

Dislike - Phil Michelson; an especially arrogant, prima donna; Nickalaus, Player, Hubert Green, Fuzzy Zoeller, Tom Kite - all immensely arrogant and condescending

Like - Jim Furyk, V.J., Sergio, Walrus, Palmer, Weir

Love - Trevino, Daly, Chi Chi, and all players who recognize that TV golf is entertainment first and foremost and that's what results in $ for players

Don't care for - Els, Love, Funk, Austin

Lust - Creamer, Gulbis

    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
