Seems that he has about as much class off the course as he does on it. What a jerk.

We knew that he was a buffoon, but this is a good look, isn't it?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Meh, not his best moment but I wouldn't label him a jerk from this incident. At least he's not the golfer who publicly stated "Of course people who beieve in God should be ridiculed".

Someone not driving, acting drunk, and yelling from a car in a college town after a basketball game.... Been a while since I was in college but it doesn't sound very jerk-like to me.

And then there is this from the link...

"Overton appeared at Assembly Hall during the Indiana-Kentucky basketball game to present a $50,000 check to the university to support the Play Golf America University program, the Herald-Times reported."

He may be a jerk but I don't think you can prove it from this evening's behavior when taken in total.

I was just coming to this thread to post the same quote!

I'm changing the title from "Jeff Overton confirms status as a jerk. Arrested." to whatever it is now.

Yeah, but we ARE jerks Kieran. Come on man - you know it's true. There are only 2 reasons we aren't sticking our heads out the window and yelling on our way to work. 1.) hypothermia and 2.) the stupid "distracted driver" law!

I did yell at a guy on Tuesday. I was going straight through an intersection and he was turning left....he assumed I was turning left too( ??? ) and tried to go...then when he realized I wasn't...he panicked and stopped in the middle of the intersection....

I yelled some mean things - rhymes with 'ducken fumbass'...I am a jerk and I apologize

To my knowledge it started when he hit a great shot then tried to sieze that opportunity to fire up his team. It was during the Ryder Cup - shameful behaviour to some I guess. Whatever.

Then he either made some rude comments or behaved rudely after losing a tournament. Might have even happened more than once. He sounds like a bit of a poser and a whiner, but a jerk? Probably a lot of PGA Tour guys are, but Overton just seems to push people's buttons.

Yes, it is a bit over the top but it is not shameful and doesn't warrant him being called a jerk. Looks like your typical Ryder Cup reaction to me!

I don't think his behaviour is in the John Daly, Tiger Woods or Sergio Garcia category, to name three, yet people seem to love those guys regardless of how they act.

Come on. It was the Ryder cup, they were two down and he holed out from the fairway. I'd have been disappointed if there wasn't some sort of celebration.

I disagree that it was over the top. I wish golf had more of such things. Emotion trumps robots almost every time in my book.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
