You tune in on Sunday and you see this name on the top of the leaderboard. Which golfers do you actually watch just to root against. YOu will root for anyone to win, just so this guy can't win.

For me its

Tiger

Jim Furyk

Ben Crane

Sergio

Just not a fan of any of them.

And also, don't speak with an accent (especially one from the British Isles), don't choose to play on your home continent, and don't be generally successful enough to keep Tiger and Phil from being #s

I don't use a long putter, but I don't see the problem with one.  To me a long putter more closely resembles a traditional putter than a 350cc, 400cc, or 460cc driver resembles every driver ever used

I cheer against anyone who's very strongly rumoured to have been violent to their spouse or sued a children's charity.

I don't really root against him, cause I enjoy watching him compete and hit great shots...but when it's actually coming down to the wire between Tiger and someone else I'm rooting for the other guy 99% of the time.  Unless it's John Daly, or Jeff Overton, or Colin Montgomerie.

Its impossible to root against John Daly.

His name would never be at the top of a leaderboard.

I don't hate any of them. I just root against/don't like them.

You guys got some weird people on your list. For me its only Sabbatini, but I don't get to get my Haterade on very much considering hes not really ever in contention. That dude has always and will forever rub me the wrong way.

However, I do root against Faldo and Miller all the time and they aren't even playing.

Because he's a tool? I don't cheer against him, because I don't care, Just throwing it out there.

Speaking of tools. Does anyone ever cheer against Ryan Moore? I'm so sick of that guy.

      How does this Min Woo guy have 5-7 mph ball speed on Rory?? I saw numbers as high as 194 mph today. Insane.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      So far, it's looking pretty even.  The first weekend (the one in May) is probably out, but the others all seem to work in general.  I'll give it until the end of a week for votes and then pick one.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
