I used to like this guy, but have recently noticed how he is constantly spitting. The other day he did it just as he was being announced on the first tee. Classy guy. Not.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I never realized how many golfers dip (chewing tabacco). Don't know if Johnson dips or not. But yeah, spitting and dipping are both pretty nasty. I hear Tiger is a spitter too.

seriously? who cares. i've noticed it too, and it's pretty clear that he doesn't dip, he is just spitting. it isn't like he is bending over and spitting in the cup i.e. sergio. so he has a bad taste in his mouth. who really gives a crap.

I personally don't have a problem with the chewing tobacco nor do I think it's classless...as long as they don't spat one on the green. Especially if it's in my line!

You walk around your workplace spitting, do you?

I'm not the biggest chewer in the world, but on the golf course, I almost always have a dip.

I wonder how many guys do actually chew on the course? If it's a lot of guys, they must hide it pretty well, because I can't tell it on hardly any of them.

It's never bothered me with playing partners. It's not uncommon for someone to dip or smoke. Never had someone be rude about it.

Now....if we were being televised and had galleries.....I imagine most guys wouldn't partake.

It's a cultural thing to some extent. Personally I'm not in the least offended and don't see the issue. In some countries noone has a problem with it. Like anything, it can be overdone but that wouldn't be Johnson IMO.

I'm 100% sure that every baseball player spits during their games, in their "workplace". Are you going to throw a fit about that, too?

How is this a thread? I didn't notice any spitting. I guess I was too busy watching him play golf. Maybe he had to get the sour taste out of his mouth on #14 after watching Molder make a 9 in the group in front of him and then Goydos do the same thing in his group 5 minutes later.

Ummm. To answer my own question earlier, I am about 90% sure D. Johnson chews. CBS just happened to leave the camera on him walking up the 14th green while they were going to a commercial break and I noticed he spit out his chew, and then quick put his right hand in his mouth to remove any tabacco still in there. It was real subtle, but an experienced chewer can spot that stuff.

I obviously have no problem what so ever w/ this. I myself chew on the golf course. Just thought I'd share..................

I have always dipped while playing golf never have spat on the greens and dont intend to either but I try to conceal it as I know alot of people do not care to see someone spitting all the time.

Doesn't bother me. I don't spit much, but I did when I played baseball, and if I get a mouthful of dust or sand I wouldn't see the problem. It's outdoors, so the workplace comparison is absurd. Wouldn't do it on concrete, in dry sand, or on the green, and I wouldn't hock a big phlegmball, but for spitting excess saliva somewhere grassy I don't see the problem.

I'm wondering if I ever saw Nicklaus or Watson or Crenshaw or Kite spit. Don't think I did. Hey...baseballers do it....so it's OK!
My original point was that when he did it on the first tee whilst he was being announced it was a pretty ordinary look.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
