Well then i guess everyone's a hypocrite because I sure don't hear anyone thanking their swing coach for missed cuts either.  And no I don't think god cares at all, and they probably don't either, rat

Not really.  Bob Rotella was one of my examples and he's certainly not a swing or putting instructor, he's a psychologist.  If I believe that sessions with him help me think straight, how is that any

Not a big fan of Ian Poulter. Seems like he's the type of person I'd end up swinging a club at if I was on tour with.

Fred Couples. Came to a Senior event at our club and was downright rude. Someone should tell him he can't compete on the PGA tour anymore and he should appreciate what he has. All the other Senior guys were awesome.

Never met any of them, so I don't know.  From TV, I would gather Sabbatini or Vijay may be the least liked.

Definately didn't care for him too much during the Ryder Cup, but may have felt differenty if he was playing on my team...

On the flip side, Tiger often gets attacked for this and in my mind I admire his focus on the game more than anything around him.

[/quote] Never met any of them either, but personalities show through. I know Tiger's old caddy gets on my nerves... When he was claiming to have beat Tiger because Adam Scott won a tournament they were both in... Comon, really? You caddied, you didn't make the shots.

Keegan Bradley hands down is the most aggravating golfer on your. He walks like he has hemorrhoids and his whole pre shot routine literally pisses me off. Seriously everything he does bothers me and at the PGA last year he was such a Yankee jerk to everybody it made me despise him even more.

My father doesn't like him because he spits all the time... Dirty habit. If he drops the long putter, he would definately go up in my book.

Jason Dufner was spitting his chew all over the practice areas during practice rounds. Don't know if he does it during the rounds. Pretty disgusting to pick up your golf ball and find tobacco spit all over it.

I don't dislike Keegan Bradley, but I do have trouble watching him sometimes. Not near as much as Kevin Naa though.

Bradley does look very stiff and awkward, almost like he's trying to be purposely comical by over-exaggerating movements, but I'm sure it's just his nature.

I don't think there's any golfer I can say I honestly don't like, but I've never met many either.  I can think of far more NASCAR drivers I don't like because I've met a lot more of them (used to work for a few ARCA teams).

Poulter.  His antics during the Ryder Cup and some of the things he says on Twitter really rub me the wrong way.

Did you hear him yell "Don't roll back, Bitch!" or something like that today - caught on Golf Channel microphones.

Yes, Bradley looks like a crazy man with his stop start approach shots.  Worse is the spitting which cannot be defended , stinking dirty fifthy habbit, have yet to see a member of the Ladies tour spit.

Ricky Fowler - the cheesy mustache he used to have and the damn flat billed hat. It really pisses off one of the guys that used to work at my club because he says fowler is a *nice guy* - dont care, since I have never met or hung out with him.

I agree that mustache had to go but you really hate someone cause of a flat billed hat?

Not a fan of Bradley either, he just seems downright strange and awkward to me.  The way he reads putts is almost disturbing to me.  Spitting doesn't bother me, he's a man and he's outdoors, I give him a pass on that as long as it's not on a green.  I'm not a big fan of Rory either, something about him just rubs me the wrong way, seems like a douche to me, but I've never met him so it's hard to say for sure.

Fowler does a good job interacting w/ fans - especially kids that come dressed in Puma gear.  Saw him make some special trips to the ropes to talk/sign autographs this past week.  I don't see anything from his on-course demeanor to not like his playing style.

Yeah I met Fowler at the RBC and was very impressed with him, talked for a few minutes before he excused himself to go sign for some waiting kids.  As for most disliked, probably Bradley for many reasons listed above.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
