Keegan is the top on my list for sure, followed by Bubba.

I actually switch channels when Keegan is about to hit, can't stand that freakish routine. It was funny at first, but it just became downright annoying.

I can't really dislike Fowler, but I don't like how the media wants to make him the next best thing without winning much.

I like Fowler, but I agree about the hype. I know when Tiger first came on Tour with the huge Nike contract, a lot of people were very skeptical. But he delivered very quickly on the hype. Rickie just hasn't done much to justify the kind of image he has in the media.

This is an understatement to say the least, one of the biggest names on tour with 1 win ever... I like how he attracts kids to the game, I like how he worked with cobra to bring some "amp" back to the brand, he seems like a good guy, but when people were upset he didn't make the Ryder Cup last year, I was like "why would he?" With that said, hopefully he wins something this year. (might want to avoid matches with Woods if he wants to stand a chance)

Wait...I'm an idiot. Typed a reply and then realized you were talking about Fowler, not Rory.  I really need to learn to read.

The more I hear about Vijay the more I'm skeptical about him.  I was already on the fence but the way he handled the whole Deer Spray thing really turned me away.

I was more disappointed to hear that he bought $8000 worth of "miracle" (i.e. garbage) products.

I could have done a lot with $8000.  Hate to see suckers throw away cash.

I used to dislike Keegan, but after the whole 'cheat' fiasco and hearing a few interviews with him, he seems like a good guy. Also I assume the Poulter hate is from US readers ;) we have to like him in Europe, he has pretty much won the Ryder cup single handedly.

What's with the racial comment?

Don't have much use for guys that hit into the group in front of them either

For me it is Bubba, I have to agree how annoying Bubba this and Bubba that, Bubba golf!

I know that he won the green jacket, he can hit the ball a mile but i do not see much more then that.

IMO of course.

I have to say I'm not a fan of Fowlers getup like y'all mentioned, but at the same time he's entitled to wear what he wants. He seems like a decent guy, so I can't really hate him despite how he underachieves. He maybe be flamboyant but at least he's not Dennis Rodman. It's all about Vijay, unprofessional and no class.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
