I can't really put my finger on why but, I don't like Bubba at all.

Speaking for myself, I thought he lived up to his name by paying a ton of money for a stupid old car from a stupid old show.

It's better than spending it on drugs and strippers.

I agree it is a "stupid" car, but he clearly has the money to spend $100k on the quintessential redneck car and it does not harm anyone so the question is, why not?  There are thousands of people that wish they could own it (for a reason I cannot comprehend, but that is beside the point).

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

I did not see Bubba winning The Masters - I was betting on Oosthuizen right up to the end.  I agree with the Phil Mickelson comparison in that Bubba can pull off some creative, bold and amazing shots but sometimes struggles to put four good rounds together.  When he's on, though, he can do just about anything.  I would bet that Bubba gets a bunch of top 10's, a win or 2 each year and 1 or 2 other majors.  I bet Oosthuizen gets one or 2 more as well.  I also agree with the comment made before that Bubba does better when coming from behind vs having the pressure of the lead all day.  Oosthuizen has shown he can handle the pressure pretty well.

I really don't see any more majors? I don't know why but I mean. Just one major doesn't account for an automatic (at least one or more). I see quite a few wins, and plenty of tops 10's. Just not sure about any more majors. The competition is getting tougher and tighter near the top!.

I can see Bubba getting maybe 1 or 2 more majors, he's really an all or nothing type.  I could see him getting maybe an Open championship, US Open is too penalizing and PGA is a toss-up (this year's venue could suit him though)

I can see Bubba winning another major. Don't forget, he almost won the PGA a couple years ago too.

It's only going to make him better.I don't think he'll get on a Tiger like run,but I do think he will win a couple of more majors along with his share of Tour wins.I have grown to like him since he has mellowed out.

Point is who knows? My money's on the second but if I was actually betting it'd just be a dollar. :-)

I see one of these 3 things happening also, but I would bet more on 1, and only a dollar!  I'm not so sure he won't feel he has accomplished everything he ever dreamed and not really be into the winning.  I've heard a lot of his interviews and he commented that he had never dreamed this big before, so I worry that he might be content with one major and we really never see much of him again.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
