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

Wasn't he supposed to beat Watson?  Not his fault Watson got the yips again 25 years later and Cink had the fortitude to rip him apart in the playoff.  What Watson did was still incredible-I wish we could go back and see what would have happened had he chipped instead of putted.

Not that I HATE any golfer, but the one guy I can't stand to see do well is Jim Furyk. Apart from coming across as a guy who I probably wouldn't like if I met him in real life (without golf), I can't warm to him at all. He's always sniffing (has anyone else noticed that?). I don't like how he does little Fred Flintstone steps up to his ball at address. He averages probably 17 'back-aways' from 5 foot putts per round.

One just recently is Tommy Gainey. I hadn't seen much of him play until the other week. But I'll just say this - the last person I saw who wore 2 gloves was a 67 year old woman who played on par 3 courses...

I would swear it was myself with some of the decisions I make on course...    but on Tour, probably Sergio, but he's not as bad as he was.  I hate, absolutely hate Brandel Chamblee

Guess I'll jump on this resurrected thread too!

Sergio Garcia

Ian Poulter

And for some odd reason I just don't root for Kaymer either, even though he seems like a nice guy.  Don't ask.....I don't get it either :no:

LOL - I like Phil, but I always root against him....  I like to see him in the running, but I like to see him get beat too...  I have absolutely no idea why - I just like to see him lose for some reason...  I'm like "Philly down in flames...    YES!"  Something about seeing Phil struggle gives me enjoyment...  I like the guy too, I just don't want him to win anything... EVER - I always pull for someone else to beat him...

I like Phil, and I would have liked him to beat McIlroy at the PGA Championship a couple weeks ago. I don't like Garcia too much.

Sabatini is fine and should be applauded - he abhors slow play and lets people know it. Quite right too.

None of these people I know and so the idea that I 'hate them' or 'root against them' - how can I?

Bubba Watson has entered my list. Just a complete douche. No respect for Tiger but he is good for the game. Furyk and his 2 hour putting routines. Most Euros with Poulter being at the top of that list but he never wins so never had to worry about him except for the Ryder Cup.

Tiger, just because I hate how whenever he's playing in a tournament all the commentators focus on just him and no one else.

Driver: :cobra: BiO Cell (10.5º)

Wood: :ping: G15 3 (15.5°)

Hybrids: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 3 (21º), 4 (24º)

Irons: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 5-PW

Wedges: :cleveland:588 RTX CB 50º, Paradise Black Chrome II Sand Wedge 56º

I won't root for who ever is in the lead. I won't root for anyone who thanks god for their victory. Especially if its before sponsors or family

Not touching the second part of your statement ;) but I am totally like this as well.  I like underdogs and I like good competition, so I'm always rooting for the guys that are chasing.  (Good thing that my favorite sports teams always suck, so I never have to deviate from this philosophy :))

P.S.  Welcome to the forum!  Don't "drift" away. :-P

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 185 - 2025-04-03 Had a good 2.5 hour session at Golf Evolution. Kinda glad it was still wet and windy out today as I wouldn't have gotten such a good session in if I played. Got up to 93 MPH (with a pause) on my 6I and 130 MPH ball speed (on a different slightly slower hit, a bit more de-lofted than I'll want eventually).

      I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future.

      At What Point Should I Begin Looking to Upgrade My Clubs?

      By BadGateway ·

      I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!
