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.

Why in the world would you Google that? You might need a hobby, something to take up your free time.

Yeah, 'hate' is a strong word. In fact, I envy every single player who plays on the tour for their skill at the game...even the ones I don't like. Which would include the following:

Sabbatini - For reasons already expressed. Don't be calling out Tiger when you're 70 wins & 14 majors behind him.

Anthony Kim - Squandering his talent thru excessive partying (allegedly). Hey, work hard, play hard...nothing wrong with that. Except when you drop the 'work hard' part.

Any player who over-emotes a shot result...this would include Tiger - And you're seeing this more & more; they turn away in disgust when the ball is in the air...and then it lands 20 feet from the hole. Guys, this isn't life & death, and you cannot hide behind the "Oh he's just intense" excuse. I think in most cases these guys know when the camera is on them & wanna ham it up.

Because when I googled detest and dislike Gary Player I couldn't find anything. And if this is my opinion of the guy it certainly can't be wrong. So why do you even care?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Gary Player isn't your all-time favorite golfer.

Odd that you would hate him. I've met him a few times, and he seems like a really great guy.

Guess he doesn't owe you money. Anyone that owes Me money and doesn't pay is a deadbeat in my book.

Just because his name is on a club has nothing to do with who owns or runs the business.  Surely you don't think that Tiger manages the day to day operations of the Tiger Woods division of Nike Golf?  Companies go out of business, and when they do creditors get back little or nothing of what they are owed.  You aren't the first and you won't be the last.  No matter how you look at it, Gary Player owes you nothing .  You come off as nothing but a troll with posts and comments like this.

And no he's certainly not my favorite player, for no other reason than he was Jack's competition and Jack was my guy.

I just find it amusing that you went through the trouble of googling "Hate Gary Player" and then came onto this forum and opened a dead thread just to let us all know. ;-). Btw, I seriously doubt that Mr. Player personally decided not to refund your money.

And furthermore don't YOU have anything better to do then question my humble opinion?

I would say Brandel Chamblee, but he wasn't good enough to stay on tour.  Or maybe he quit so he wouldn't mess up his hair.

You were called out because your "honest" and "humble opinion" is ridiculous and naive. It has nothing to do with the guy.

When I initially posted there were several reasons. Of course I know Gary Player doesn't personally owe me money. Why are you being a Troll? I'm on topic, stated my opinion and did not start an argument with anyone. You on the other hand will not give it a rest. Is cyber-bullying your hobby?

Not sure who you're referring to since no quote. You are entitled to your opinion, but when you're opinion is:

then prepare to be called out.

You came on here and posted something that some of us find silly and now that people are making their thoughts known, you want to give it a rest?

Keegan Bradly.   Whenever I see him, I feel like slapping his face.   Hit the freaking ball already!

Anthony Kim and other one hit wonders who get too big in the head and plummets like a rock after their first (and often the only) win.

I am sure others mentioned Sergio Garcia?   Second that.

    • 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.
    • 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.
