I used to like Adam Scott, but now I find myself rooting against him because of that atrocious putter and his a-hole caddie. Not fair, I know, but that's the way it is for me.

The funny thing about the putter is that he is not a very good putter with it anyway. How bad was he without it?

Yeah I kind of root against him too. But I am a Tiger fan(don't kill me people who hate Tiger).. I just like History be made and appreciate that I may never get to see someone play golf the way he does in my lifetime again.

Jim Furyk. Everything wrong with the game of golf. I also dislike Tiger Woods' attitude on the course, cursing after every bad shot, especially when there are young children looking up to him. I do, however, like what he has done for the game of golf.

No idea how you come to that conclusion.

There aren't many players that I truly dislike, just some that I root for much less than others. I really disliked Colin Montgomery when he was playing.

I dislike him when he is talking about other players. I think all of the announcers are crazy.. They will say "it needs to get right" and lands way right? like what are you guys seeing

I really have some sort of dislike for Ian Poulter. He just irritates me.

I don't like Sabbatini and I've never really cared for Sergio either.

I dont like Sergio at all! Im starting not to care for Bubba very much as well. There is something about Kenny Perry that bothers me, but I dont know what it is LOL.

Yeah Bubba is a baby. He might be one of those guys that puts on a front.. But he gets along with Fowler so Fowler has to see something good in him.

I wish Sabo would go off about how everyone hates him. I do enjoy watching these guys blow up so I can at least laugh at them. I am not a big fan of Vijay either..

Pat Perez: Total hot head throwing temper tantrums when things don't go his way. Nothing like a pro breaking clubs and screaming profanities.

Charlie Beljan: The guy who had the panic attack on the way to winning Children's Miracle Network tournament. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but at least have the conviction to back it up. Goes on twitter and calls Obama a D-bag. Gets called on it and deletes account. Goes back to twitter a year later, bitches about not getting into Master's and ends up deleting his account again. Time to act like an adult and take responsibility for what you say/post.

I love it when Sergio gets into contention because you know there is going to be drama, but you also pretty much know what will be the final outcome, and it won't be pretty.

Oh boy are we really revisiting this? Okay since it's not HATE I would say I strongly dislike Gary Player and keep my reasons to myself.

Yeah watching him rinse that sleeve at the Players is still fun to watch. I wanted him to cry right there on the tee box.

Phil, for no other reason than I lost total respect for him at the Ryder Cup and clapping for his opponent on several occasions.  Still one of the all-time greats and I'd rather he win a major than some no-name, but I take as much glee in him losing and seeing him pull off impossible shots.

That's funny, I gained respect for him because of his sportsmanship at the Ryder Cup. I guess we just see the world differently.

He takes way too long on the greens. Lines it up, backs off, lines it up, backs off, repeat. Then you go out to a public course and see people doing the same thing. I hope they implement a shot clock like your boy Colin Montomerie said.

    • 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.
    • 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.
