To quote Butch Harmon: "Dustin Johnson makes Nick Watney look like a brain surgeon."

I wanted to give this one a chance, but this being one of the very few threads i have read quickly went juvenile on the first page...a bunch of guys starting off bashing bubba...which i kind of a agree with in this particular case as he should have known to shut it...keep it to himself....but otherwise i normally like the dude....

..but then i see on first page some idiots commenting on how stupid dustin johnson is...? huh...how did he get into the conversation as a target to beat up on...and how he has a look in his eyes...that some said they can tell shows his level of intelligence.

WTH? you can judge someone based on looks? because he is from the south and has a bit of a drawl and a sleepy look like 90% of the people down there have that automatically shows some genius's he is a moron?

man...dont think if this is the level of commentary i will be spending much time on these forums. i will stick to the great site on its own. not cool to me.

There was quite a good line in one of the UK papers this morning. "No Bubba, the English Channel is not a TV station."

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

When Bubba first got out on Tour he was pretty much a Jerk.If you'll remeber he and his caddy were going to a tourney and were eating and his caddy told him he had had enough with the attitude and that if he didn't make a change in the way he acted on the course that he was done.He seems to have gotten better,but I do think he can still fight having an attitude when things aren't going well in a round.He scramed at Elkington in N.O.a couple of years ago before he got better.Hope he keeps it under control,fun to watch when he's on!!

Heard the same thing. Apparently he reported the incident (about his caddy leaving him) to his wife who sided with his caddy - confirming he was being a jerk.

you are pretty sure you remember him saying that...where...in person? come on. why would a teacher in the business who has coached both of them say that...it is completely silly.

i did a search on harmon and those words, quote etc. and i must admit i found. ....one..and only one reference...it was a thread on sandtrap..oh..thats right...the one by poster...thats it. harmon has class and would not say such crap about a student he taught.

I seem to remember him saying it last year at either the PGA or the Ryder Cup while commentating for Sky Sports. It's not a big deal though.....he was only commentating on both of them having a bit of a lost look on their faces.

No need to get so worked up about an amusing comment that somebody you don't know made about 2 other people you don't know.

I seem to remember Phil Mickelson telling Sky Sports that he was actually 1/8 Leprechaun and that would give him the edge in the Open. He also said that he was actually Tiger's first mistress....can you believe it? I was totally blown away!

I was only saying I remember him saying that last year. Butch is on Sky Sports for all the US majors and the Ryder Cup.

You seem to have trust issues.


You have to reach 500 posts to be trusted! ;)

seriously? you're going to lambast people for calling bubba out and having a laugh at DJ, then completely negate all you said previously by making an ignorant claim like "90% of southerners have a sleepy look." i'm seriously lmao. i've lived down here my whole life, traveled to all the southern states, and not once have i remarked that 9 out of 10 of us have a "sleepy" look. but of course, i could be mistaken, perhaps my heavily ladened lids are preventing me from noticing this obvious fact.

Yes he did. Butch is a very funny guy.

He also told Dustin that he had to decide between whether he wanted to be a tour professional or a gigolo (after Dustin neglected to turn up on time for a coaching session after a particularly heavy night out.)

F the French. How soon we forget.  The French are a disgrace to society.  Especially Americans.  Do a little homework.  So Bubba tells em to F off.  Good for him.  And Oh by the way he is BUBBA.  You don't get named Bubba cuz you're a silver spoon boy.  AND if the French are so up in arms.....Don't invite him back.

Brilliant

This, people, is how to properly troll a thread.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
