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."

He's definitely playing next week in Sweden at the Nordia Masters.

Good opportunity for him to make amends. Good luck to him.

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.

sorry..........but butch never said that about two of his students.........he has too much class.

Actually, I'm pretty sure he did say that. I have a memory of him saying it last year....unless I was dreaming about Butch Harmon

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!

[deasy55]

You seem to have trust issues.

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 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.

His moobs probably were bigger than the perkins waitress's..

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.

We were missing comments like this, very smart and constructive!

Brilliant

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