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.

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

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

Nice positive thread! NOT

LOL, having said that, Bubba talking about Bubba in the third person and Bubba golf is mildly irritating to say the least

Don't understand the hate for Sabatini, he always brings a smile to my face....

But that's because the name reminds me of Gabbi.

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 think I'd be rude if I were a pro, stuff gets old after a while. Fans are so demanding and want you to jump through hoops. People never can put them selfs in the shoes of others.

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.

      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.
