Saw Sergio on the golf channel this past weekend and he was putting with what I believe was a hybrid? What the hell happened? Did El Nino snap his putter in a fit of rage?

I saw him putt a couple of times, but can't recall seeing him putt with anything but a putter.

I remember seeing him smash hit putter into the green after missing a relatively easy putt.Left a hole in the green, so maybe he damaged his putter there too, I didn't really see him again after that.Typical childish behaviour from him.

Ahh, that is what I was looking for. I know I saw him put with a wood or hybrid and it was so bizarre. Wish I had footage of that temper tantrum.

Please excuse my language, but Sergio is a ••••ing •••••. If I was at a tournament and I saw him screw up the green like that for the rest of the field, I would risk getting tossed out by dumping a full beer on his cry baby ass.

Indeed.That little tantrum is nothing we haven't seen from him before.Of course it's frustrating to putt that badly, but acting like a spoilt child and damaging greens is not gonna do you any favours or win you any fans.

I find it hard to see why Sergio is talked about so much, especially in relation to majors.Yes, he's got great distance and is a nice ball striker.But you could say that about half the tour these days.I think there's already better candidates for a first major win out on Tour, Sergio hasn't got the constitution for it.

I agree with your sentiments kpaulhus and spuds. He is just as big of a baby as JD. I just wanted to know the story behind what I saw. Ironically, he made the putt that I saw in with that hybrid or whatever and it was not that short, about 6 feet, I believe.

Maybe he should putt with it more often

Kinda off-thread, but I wanted to share one of Sergio's classier moments..

Ha, I remember that one! It is def horrible for the game, but sometimes I am just drawn to the players who lose their temper. Call it the Happy Gilmore effect or whatever. My cousin and I used to follow Steve Pate at the Buick Open because that guy would get pissed!

He was an upcoming star some years ago, but that never happened. Lately he's been an embarrassement to himself and golf.

What I did see this weekend was El Nino self destruct in 2 straight matches. I don't know if he is seeing a psychologist, but he either needs to get one quick or fire the one he has because something isn't working upstairs.

I remember watching Garcia playing in the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah -- (nearly) chasing down Tiger over the back nine, hitting a shot from the base of a tree, staring back at Woods waiting on the tee ... it was great. But I can't stand the guy now; and, frankly, I haven't liked him for years.

He's incredibly overrated. You can only say, "This guy's a great player and will win majors one day" for so long before you really should be saying, "Yeah, he's talented, but he's not a great player because he's never actually won one." His sometimes bizarre on- and off-course behaviour would be easier to tolerate if he'd actually done sometihng in the game.

Did anyone see the tantrum he threw when Poulter considered using a rule to his advantage in the WGC Matchplay event?

Poulter hit a wild shot and it went behind the tv tower and he wanted to take a drop from behind a bush that he had to go though to get to the tower

Poulter hit a wild shot and it went behind the tv tower and he wanted to take a drop from behind a bush that he had to go though to get to the tower.

Poulter's ball was at the base of a thick-ish bush and a television tower lay between that spot and the green. Under a local rule in place for the tournament, the tower was a temporary immovable obstruction. Poulter said that it was on his line of play because his "only" shot was to play right over the top of it. Ultimately, and after much discussion, Poulter decided not to take any relief (a drop under the rule) because he was worried that his lie might be worsened. He played the ball from the bush, hitting to the

side of the tower, rather than over it. Not a big deal, right? You'd think so. But Garcia thought differently: http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,...-23213,00.html .
Current setup:
Titleist 909D2 9.5°, Diamana Blue Stiff | Titleist 909F2 15.5°, Diamana Blue Stiff | Mizuno MP-57 3-P, Nippon NS Pro 1050GH Stiff | Titleist Vokey SM 54.11, 60.07 | Scotty Cameron ACVII / Napa California | Titleist Pro V1X

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
