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

Thanks for the welcome and that's probably a smart move.

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 on Nick Faldo and root against Jim Nance. How about fewer interviews with guys you met in car washes, fraternity brothers, people who nobody knows.

Steve Elkington back in the day

Dave Hill way back in the day, incident with Chi Chi

Fistfights- Hill got into one with JC Snead at a Senior Tour event around 1990

In 1970 Hill almost came to blows with Chi Chi Rodriguez at the Kaiser International. Tour officials had to intervene.

In 1963 Hill broke deliberately broke his putter in two while on national television. Back then it was common for golfers to be fined for breaking clubs. In this case, Hill got a two month suspension for his act. Hill wrote in his book teed off that some members of the disciplinary committee wanted him suspended for a year.

Practice round at then Kennedy park GC in Napa CA

To go 180 degrees who I really like are Couples, any Irish golfer, Jim Furyk but mostly his caddy, and anybody with the guts to hang in there on any tour when it's tough and not looking good.

I don't know why people root against Furyk. He can take care of himself...

Yep.

Real loser. 40 million in career earnings and 20 million per year from TaylorMade adidas.

You've certainly nailed him. :-)

Woods for sure, Bubba and Webb too. Sergio just happens to be one of my favorites. Funny the way we all perceive personalities differently.

I would say Webb Simpson - the most vacant and insipid player on the tour. I have never heard him utter anything that his has come up with himself.

Check out his Twitter feed. OMG. :drool: All he does is retweet "inspirational" religious quotations.

      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.
