He is one of the more down to earth guys on tour IMO. Always very thankful to the crowds, doesn't ever freak out or go over the top. He's the man!

He has always been one of my favorite Golfers but after this weekend I think he is number 1 to me.

I gave him the nickname "Rage Kage" last year to make fun of how calm and collected his personality is.  I was watching Sunday with my Fiance and kept saying "Let's go Rage Kage!!"  My fiance looked at me and said "he really doesn't seem like the type to have a temper"

He did seem like he was having fun on Sunday

The way K.J. interacts with the crowd, and especially kids, really impresses me.  He seems like a genuinely great human being.  This just further solidifies my opinion of him.

He always seems to be a pretty consistenty good players. Not talked about enough IMO in the world of Rickie's and Rory's. Plus he always seems to be up there on the leaderboard on sundays.

He gave a whole bunch of cash to the Japan Relief Fund as well.  He is a very likeable player.

I don't know when i started liking him but i did a few years ago.  It was a combination of his game and interaction with the crowd that won me over.

And its weird, when people ask who i like on tour i hardly ever say KJ.  Its usually phil, rickie, Bubba, etc.  But i always find myself rooting for KJ on sundays.  I have to start telling people i like him too.

My buddy's dad met him while volunteering at a PGA event practice round. Said he was the nicest guy out there.

Another cool thing about Rage Kage was the first thing out of his mouth in the post round interview was affirming his belief in Jesus Christ.

While I don't consider myself to be a Christian it is pretty special to see a man not afraid to proclaim his Faith first thing, after one of the most important professional events so far in his career.

Rage Kage is a special man indeed...

I'm sure that "Choi's Bois" membership is increasing.  Really enjoy watching him play, and how well he handles his business.

Nuck, I agree with you. In today's society, many people think it is not PC to discuss anything dealing with religion in public for fear of offending someone. I was glad KJ was not afraid to state his belief in Jesus!

KJ has a quality no one can ever take from him, and something I wish more would aspire to have...  He is a classy person.  It only takes a little more to be first class and he does it quietly and well.

    • Hello Everyone, I am moving to a new house and first thought... let's have a room for indoor golf practice! I know many of you love to record your swings, but indoor there is always the issue of the blurred clubhead at impact due to the poor lighting compared to practicing in the sunlight. Has anyone figured out a combo of camera and indoor lighting to get good results at 240fps,  720p?  
    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost.
