A few guys...

Grahame McDowell - Where do I begin? What a competitor! And does it all while fighting stuff in his swing. I, like him, tend to shut the club at the top so I just love to watch what he does. We have a similar build (my wife likes to make this comment while golf is on), and even both play the same irons. LOL. Just like the guy, he seems like a guy you'd like to have in your foresome.

Dustin Johnson - Dude hits all his clubs a mile while hitting it fairly straight. Plus, he's cool as all hell. He should grab a few majors before he's finished.

Rickie Fowler - For all the wacky outfits, his poorly-fitted cap and his loathsome haircut (not because it's LONG, but it's just f-----in' bad!), he's an old-school shotmaking golfer who plays like the guys from the 50's and 60's. When he starts winning tournaments, he won't stop.

Rory McIlroy - When he gets it going, he is beautiful. Maybe my favorite swing to watch in the world.

Current Gear Setup: Driver: TM R9 460, 9.5, Stiff - 3W: TM R9, 15, stiff - Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Black, 18, stiff - Irons: Callaway X Forged 09, 3-PW, PX 5.5 - SW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 54.14 - LW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 60.12 - Putter: PING Redwood Anser, 33in.

I've become a fan of the UK crew this year.  Poulter, G-Mac, Rory...they all have great game and seem to have a lot of fun doing it.

I love Rickie Fowler's game, but man that hair and the crazy clothes

I second this,

I have been watching him this week in Kapalua and he is fun to watch.  Great attitude and great ball striker.  I really like his approach to the game.

I agree with this.  They seem to show their personality more, however there are a number of US players starting to do the same thing.  I think this can only be good for the game and the two tours.  I think I will have to also jump on the band wagon and say that I am becoming a huge Dustin Johnson fan.

It's almost tough for me to say this about an Oklahoma Sooner, but I've started to cheer for Anthony Kim over the past year or so.  I didn't really care for the guy when he made his big impact early on, but he is growing on me a little.  The fact he has had to endure some injury struggles the past year may be the key factor in it, but who knows.  Like I said, it's tough to even admit it. :)  I hope AK has a solid 2011 and beyond because he could be great for the game.

No kidding. It's very impressive to see what Day has been doing in recent major championships, considering that he is only 23 and has already come so far (basically turning pro right out of junior golf, having to play on the Nationwide Tour, and then having an awful rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2008 that provided shades of Ty Tryon).

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
