Likes:

Tiger - His accomplishments speak for itself. Still rooting for him to catch Jack

IK Kim - Yes she missed a 1-footer, but she showed a lot of class and kept her head up even after the loss. She's cute too...

Yani Tseng - My wife is Taiwanese so she and I cheer for her.

Dislikes:

Gary McCord - His inability to STFU during his commentary and his stupid mustache puts him at the top of my list

Phil - When I started playing and watching golf, I couldn't stand listening to Phil because he sounds like he's trying to sell something to you even if it was at a press conference.

Rory Sabbatini - He's a douche...

Best Regards,
Ryan

McGwire

McIlroy

Mic, not Mac.

I am pretty sure the pronunciation has to do with what letter follows the "c."  Nothing more, nothing less.  Micilroy just sounds odd, macilroy sounds right.  Compare it to McIntyre.  That is also pronounced with a "mac" and would sound funny with a "mic" ... I don't think it's a coincidence.

Anyway ...

I like to watch:

Rory McIlroy (not because he's a good golfer, just because I like how he pronounces his name)

Nick Watney (hometown guy)

Graeme McDowell

There really isn't anybody I dislike.  I pretty much always root for everybody except the leader because I'm always hoping for drama.

I don't follow the tour players much at all but from what I've seen pop up in the news...  Mickelson seems like a little bit of a spaz but in a friendly funny way.  Garcia and Bubba Watson sound like pretty big tools.

Favorites:

Tiger Woods - I enjoy watching myself on film from time to time

Rory Mc (can never spell his last name)

Phil Mickelson - Phil the thrill

Least Favorite:

Henrik Stenson - Ever since that time he took of his clothes...

John Daly - Disgrace to golf

The baby walrus - Another disgrace to golf. The guy is fat as f*ck and doesn't even try half the time.. yet some how shoots good. All in all, he's disgusting to watch.

Favorites:

Tiger- Reminds me of myself. B-) Always fun to watch.

Dufner- Love his style, or lack thereof.

Dustin Johnson- Likeable guy

Least Favorites:

SERGIO- Takes the cake easily on this one. Can't stand the guy.

John Daly- Was given a gift and seems to take it for granted. He just gets under my skin. Seems to disrespect the game to me.

Miguel Angel Jimenez- I can't justify why I don't like him, and really I don't think that I truly don't like him, I just root against him. Really have no solid reasoning for this one. He just rubs me wrong.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
