He jokes around alot before the round but when Ive seen him on the course he is in a really competitive mode. He said inside the ropes last year or so he was a very angry person and he wanted to change that.

I saw him the Barclays, last Saturday. Hit his second shot on 17 left of the green, and jokingly remarked "thats not good." On 18 you need to hit a slight fade with the driver, Bubba hit it dead straight putting him in the left rough and he got PISSED...temper is still there.

His swing in person makes your jaw drop

his swing or the ball flight?

both, I saw 2 swings from less than 10 feet away and another where you were like 75 yards back from the tee and had the shots almost going over your head.

His hands are so high at the top of the swing and his left arm is at an unreal angle, very active legs also The sound his ball made going over my head was unlike any other golfer I saw that day To be honest nearly every golfer I saw had similar ball flight, the ball looks like it continually rises and then drops right at the end, just a matter of how high and how far.

Great video. I've always been a Bubba fan but I love seeing that the guy actually has some personality unlike a lot of the stiffs on tour.

great video! thanks for sharing! It would be cool to see more of the players personalities on TV occasionally, instead of just asking what they thought of their round, throw a fun question out here and there, for the players with something interesting to say :)

Bubba's awesome. He seems like such a fun guy. I love how he was making fun of Rickie Fowler at the deusche bank video

Hahahaha Bubba is my new favorite golfer. He was definitely in my top 5 beforehand, but seeing these really made me feel like you could get to know the guy. Seeing him tee off with some randoms was pretty amazing too; GO BUBBA!

perhaps he isn't as focused as some of the others(martin kaymer) when it really comes down to putting away the tournament.

Bubba, like myself, has A.D.D. He (Squirrel!) He knows about it and just deals with it like I have without drugs. I read somewhere that a highly respected doctor offered to work with him and teach him how to control his ADD. Bubba refused because he's affraid that it will change him not only as a player, but as a person as well. The guy is awesome.

The guy is awesome.

As long as you're watching him on one of these videos.

On the course he's a whining, pouting jerk, which is obviously why the PR machine (which is so eagerly being lapped up here) has to go into gear.

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

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
