Sergio, Keegan Bradley and Stewart Cink for completely sabotaging what would have been the greatest story ever told at Turnberry in '09!

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

Yes!  I have noticed that he looks like he's mad all of the time.  As far as I know, he could be the nicest guy in the world, but his facial expressions stink of just plain, old grumpy. :)

**One caveat:  I will sometimes root against guys with big leads (temporarily) just because I want things to be interesting. :)

I think I'd be standoffish, too.

But it doesn't take much to become a target of cat-calls (Colin Montgomery).

In golf, you really want the fans to be on your side.

That's fine, I don't have much use for close-minded people either.  Sorry but the tattoo comment hit a nerve with me.  Not saying this is true of you but people who think nba players are "thugs" just because they have multiple tattoos really get under my skin.

Fredrik Ulf Yngve Jacobson.  Mostly because of his hats and wrist bands.  Good reasons, huh?  Other than that I agree with Kieren123--I really don't like the guys that are always talking about God.  Webb Simpson could be much more likable if he would cut that out.  I give Bubba a pass, though.

I'm really surprised that so many dislike fowler and bradley.  I never would have guessed that.

Oh come on!  We need more mustaches in golf (and life in general), not less.  It takes balls for someone under 40 to wear a mustache.

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.

Yes, I am from the US, and yes I wasn't loving him during the Ryder Cup... Lol

I like Poulter because of what he does in the Ryder Cup.  I think its awesome how he always comes up big.  He hit the winner in the Tavistock Cup, too.

Agreed about Webb. STFU about Jeebus. Nobody cares.

Phancy Phil Mickelson.  I just hate almost everything about him - his slighly effeminate voice, way of talking and mannerisms, his nonchalance about routinely gambling more than the average family earns in half a decade, his arrogance, his awkward attempts to be pleasant and personable, his choice of dress pants for athletic attire, etc.... I have absolutely no idea how so many average joe golf fans like this guy who very, very likely views average sorts of people rather contemptuously - attempting and often making risky going-for-broke shots shouldn't count for that much popularity.

I don't suppose he'd like you much either, though he might find you interesting.

Agree with the people who don't like Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson, and Zach Johnson.  I keep my beliefs to myself and wish that they would keep theirs to themselves too.  The guys who always thank God when they win don't bring it up when they get interviewed after they lose.  Just wondering...

To be fair, I watched last night when he was interviewed after winning the trophy for the best individual in the Tavistock Cup.  Yes, I know it's not a real tournament, but regardless, he was thrown on National TV with a camera and a mic in his face, and he didn't say a single thing about God, Jesus, religion, or anything like that at all.  He was your typical gracious, happy winning golfer, nothing more, nothing less.

That's a first in my experience and I'm glad to hear it.  I admire all of these guys as golfers but don't care to know them any better than that, be they elocuting on religion, politics, or whether or not, as the football player at the NFL Combine was asked, they "like girls".  TMI and none of my business.

Agree with everything you say.  Even without the long putter I'd have trouble ever rooting for him.  Something about his demeanor on the course just rubs me the wrong way.  And his stupid jerk-step routine is just painful to watch.  I've noticed that the TV broadcasts lately only cut to him after he finishes his silly dance.  Trying to make him look like he plays faster than he does.

      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.
