Favorite Golfer

[leftcoastsrt04]

I have never really had a favorite golfer or golfer I was a fan of but, I have started to grow pretty fond of Paul Casey. I watched a couple interviews with him and he seems like a stand up guy. Any other fans out there? Who are your Favorites?

Lol, its like you read my mind, being a Briton Paul Casey has been one of my (if not my actual) favourite golfer for quite a while!! Seems like a genuinely nice chap, lovely swing, hits the ball a mile, great iron player, and very gracious, fully deserves his world number 3 status!!

Another favourite has to be Adam Scott, he might be struggling at the moment but he is really a class act and has a great swing!

John Daly is my favorite. I like Woody Austin as well. They seem like real people and I kind of relate to that aspect of their appeal. Not to mention a ton of natural talent. I have enjoyed watching Bubba Watson recently as well. And what about Boo? Who doesn't like Boo Weekly?

Fred Funk and Fuzzy Zoeller---they have fun playing golf and show it. Golfers who are too serious, swear on TV, and hurl their clubs are not my favorites. Golf should be entertaining to the fans, as Chi Chi, Lee Trevino, Jimmy Demaret, Doug Sanders, Payne Stewart, and Fred and Fuzzy understood.

John Daly and Boo Weekley were the first two I thought of also. And watching Bubba Watson hit it a mile is fun also.

The way Rocco Mediate handled the US Open interviews etc last year made me like him a lot also

Chris DiMarco...not big, not strong, not long. Just a never-say-die attitude. A real grinder...

Alvaro Quiros - funny guy, hits a 314 yard average and he's confident without being arrogant

Anthony Kim, i just find him really entertaining when playing and i like how he always goes for everything (even though it is annoying when ive backed him and he then makes double by attacking everything), soon his game will turn around and he'll be back up there challenging!

I've been a fan of John Daly ever since I was litte. I'm really glad that he is starting to pull everything together.

The late Payne Stewart was my fav for as long as I can remeber. I really like Freddy his on course demener is so great and relaxed, love that swing to. Tiger has to be a fav as well because he is so clutch.

Good choice. He was a great Champion, author, gentleman, and sportscaster. I still remember vividly when he was on the ABC team for golf tournaments. His comments were incisive, but never severely critical. His tournament is very special---the #1 fund raiser for years on the PGA Tour. You have to give a guy credit whose main goal in golf was to make enough money to buy a ranch, and then live there with his wife. That is exactly what he did, when he was still in his prime. And he retired from competitive golf. Nelson, Snead, and Hogan were all contemporaries (born in 1912), but their personalities were so very different.

Thanks for the quote. It makes my son and myself feel good that many people are like you and us, and still remember Payne. We all know of some athletes whose popularity fades after their death, which is to be expected. Payne is still popular with his fans, and it is great that the new golf course in Branson, Missouri is named for him. He was born in Springfield, MO, so he is a native son to that state. We would like to go to the Midwest sometime, and play at that course.
