What are you disagreeing about? The guy is wearing a Jimenez wig. The cigar is there to complete the "look".

Hands in pockets rediculous mustache, and your calling this a "look". I'd hate to see what you'd wear on a nice course. I was just disagreeing that anything that man is wearing goes together.

The guy is wearing a wig which is designed to make him look like Jimenez. Red with a fluffy pony tail. It's a joke. The cigar is a prop. You might have seen guys wearing hats with Charly Hoffman hair or Rory McIlroy hair. It's the same thing. Jimenez has distictive hair and smokes cigars on the course. The guy in the photo is not some fool who looks stupid, he's a fan in costume making a joke.

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

There was an article about cigar guy at one of our national newspapers today. Apparently the british media is trying to find him.

this is interesting..

No way. Look at the photos, there isn't any real similarity between facial features at all, height and build are completly different. How did someone come up with something so totally off base?

I think the nose looks the same. The ears too. The linked article said he was plumping up for his next role. The mustache might even be fake.

Totally agree. From the more popular angles of this guy seen in the papers, he looks like he is wearing a turban, so many actually think he isn't impersonating jiminez when actually, he is. Probably.

The cigar guy's eyes look a little more puffier than Cohen's. Then again, all of the cigar guy looks puffier so it could be the putting on weight thing iacas mentioned.

I will say I think it's a slim chance it's SBC, but I can't rule it out based on those two pictures, either.

And I just now realized it was a wig, not a turban. Frankly, I hadn't looked at it closely enough until now. I think that bit of evidence makes it less likely to be SBC.

Quite bummed I missed out on this thread earlier, as an amateur Peter Parker in my spare time, I love that initial photo.


The work done in the link by motteler621 is classic as well; I highly recommend checking some of those photos out.

      -9 Day One at Arnold Palmer

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      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.
