Ian Poulter. This guy talks so much shi* for a guy who hasn't won big. He thinks the future of golf is Tiger and him.

Ricky Fowler. An X-Games wannabe, headache of color. Can't root for a guy that disagrees with Arnold Palmer.

Lee Westwood. Chokes too much. Walks like an uptight, stuffed dork.

Ryo Ishikawa. Overrated. Everyone thinks he's the best from Japan, can't even win in Japan now.

Rory McIlroy. Looks like a clown.

Titleist 910D2 8.5° Diamana 'ahina 80 S
Titleist 909F3 3W 13° Diamana D83 S, Titleist 910f 5W 19° Fubuki Ax 80X
Taylormade RAC MB TP 3-PW Irons DG S300, Callaway Jaws 54° and 60°
Titleist Futura putter, Taylormade TP5 balls

If funny walks is a criterion, then allow me to submit Adam Scott. His walk is reminiscent of an emu.

Eduardo Molinari.  I tell him that his mom likes Francesco better!  I want to see them get in a slap fight on the tee like my brothers and I did when we were kids!

Actually I don't cheer against anyone.  Takes too much energy.  I'm getting too old for hate.

I wouldn't say I root against him, but I'm finding it difficult to get on the Rickie Fowler bandwagon. Those outfits make him look like an LPGA golfer circa 1975.

I don't root against anyone, but might root for one over the other.

Fowler seems like a nice kid but I wish he'd lose the painter's cap.  I wish everyone would lose the painter's caps. Too hippety hop for this old man.  Don't mind the color as much--reminds of Doug Sanders.  I am not that old but I've seen pictures.  What did he disagree with the King over?

Daly is a nut case but I root for him.  I agree with Sean about beating women and sueing children's charities, so what I guess I really root for is his redemption in life and golf.  Such a waste of talent.  But I keep hoping.  What is that that is said about doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result?

I suspect it's a Phil v. Tiger thing. Personally I think it's like taking a hard stance for either Betty or Veronica.   I always liked Midge.

As s_m guessed, I've always been a Tiger fan. Phil is different for me than Lee and Daly though, both of whom I dislike. I don't really dislike Phil, I just root against him.

Anyone who uses a long putter, either belly or broomstick.

I too see some surprising names on some lists.  To each his own I guess.

I don't root against any golfer and find some of the petty reasons for doing so in this thread amazingly childish. Root against Fowler because you don't like his hat? Really?

Tiger...I've rooted against him ever since he turned pro, got paid by Nike and got shoved down our marketing throats.  I really enjoyed last year when he wasn't playing.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
