Rickie Fowler. He's from Murrieta, CA. I lived in Temecula the city right next to it. Seems cool enough of a guy although who really knows

Of years past

Bobby Jones, grew up watching his old golf instruction shows on TV. They were played on the golf channel for a while, early morning on weekends. Just loved his story, and how much of a class act he was.

90's

Greg Norman, i love sharks, shark week was awesome, so as a kid i just put two and two together, how fun a kids brain works ;)

2000's

Anybody but Tiger and Sergio, but i like good stories, so Phil winning his first green jacket, Bubba winning his. I like Rory alot, his swing is just amazing, i wish he would get his head on straight. I like Rickie as well. So I'm rooting for the young guys. Mostly Rory now.

You must be kidding? Watching that guy not only play slow, but all the twitching, fiddling, club spinning, evil eye tilt head look. Drives me insane, I can't watch him, I just can't.

I would rather watch Jim Furyk adjust his pants with each wrist during his preshot routine.

Phil - without question.  Absolutely love watching Phil play.  When the bigger tournaments come around my first thought is "where's lefty?" when I look at the leaderboard.  His mastery of the short game is a thing a beauty.  He'd probably have 10 majors right now if he could putt like he did at this years Open consistently.  His putting has always killed him, along with his "go for it" mentality but lets face it - a couple of those majors he only won because he took some risks head on without fear.  Gotta love it.

Graeme McDowell. Needless to say I was not very happy last weekend

I really enjoying watching Adam Scott's full swings, I enjoy watching Tiger's all around game, and I like Phil's aggressiveness. Apparently these three might be paired up next weekend?? That's going to be amazing.

But yeah, McDowell just seems like a solid guy and when he gets on fire (rare) it's super fun to watch. He enjoys a good pint of Guinness too.

Lol, I do that ( the Jim furyk adjustment before every shot too.. I just think that he's really odd. He keeps it loose and keeps his body always moving, and I think that works..... yeah he plays a little slower, but I'll admit, I'm not a fast player, with a long pre shot routine.

Me, too. For that same reason. He seems like a cool guy, who just happens to be a great golfer, too. And I get a kick out of his pre-shot routines. I also really like Phil. It's really more of a tie between those two.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
