Read that in newspaper. Well, of all the ugly tobacco products i suppose snuff is among the least obnoxious, esp for the rest of the world.  I do wonder if he, like Bradley, is spitting on the green. Imagine, i big brown minty blob of tobacco juice next to your marker.  Perhaps Duffner is Swedish. Didn't the Swedes invent snuff because the winter weather was too cold to strike a match and light a cigarette?

But he's a champ golfer and has a #10+ wife so all is gud.

The fact that Dufner chews snuff is hardly a well kept secret.

Were you unaware of this, or are you asking something else?

Actually you are thinking of *snus* - which is a no-spit chewing tobacco in a pouch

I love how he toured NYC to meet with various press and media outlets and his hair looked like a hot mess.

I've read that he packs a fresh one at the tee box and always makes sure to ditch the lip before he reaches the green.  Of course you wouldn't see him spitting on the greens.

It gives you a bit of a buzz.  I dip when I play softball, but not golf.  Occassionally at a bachelor party or similar deal.

At the same time, I am disgusted by cigarettes.

But like cigars.

Go figure.

CBS happened to catch him spitting after he finished on one hole early on in (I believe) Saturday's broadcast. He was somewhat discrete, and off the green, but it was there for all to see.

He dips....hence the "Duf's Dips" fan club that was following him. I don't know if Jim Nantz was covering or he is just plain that stupid when he said the fan club was short for Dufner's Diplomats.

Haha that sounds like something Jim Nantz would say.  And 99% of America probably believed him.

Hahahaha. OK, seriously, WTF? Starting to think this alleged "Dufner" character may actually be an enormously elaborate piece of performance art ...

You just have to wonder about people sometimes.  I had (had being the operative word here) a good friend that got cancer inside his the mouth from tobacco use.  It ain't pretty what they do to you to try to remove the tumors and restore your health.   Dufner may be a great golfer but he is very stupid for using that stuff.  But it is America so I guess it is his right to be self destructive

Millions of people dip, smoke, and do other drugs knowing full well the possible consequences. Most will get away with it and not get cancer and a small percentage will suffer the worst of the consequences and everyone knows that. Being a former baseball player, seeing the dugout after a game was pretty terrible, being that I had to clean it up when it was my turn for that duty.  I had never seen a golfer dip but I'm not surprised that Dufner 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.
