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

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.

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.

LEE WESTWOOD period. I hate his attitude come play the PGA tour and you will find out you can't consistently win.

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.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
