One thing I think we can say for sure is right now the guy does not have a lot of fans. There are people that either hate him or have no opinion of him. Not a lot of people who like him. So I do think he needs to help his image some. If he wins some tourneys and shows some humbleness, he can gain some fans.

Sure he is. I think every athlete that competes at high level/professional level has some sense of entitlement and arrogance. I don't think thats a bad thing either. Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Mi

I can easily say this kid is arrogant as hell, but like Richard Sherman in his post-Super Bowl interview it's a breath of fresh air. I'm so sick and tired of the PC, canned responses. Show some damn r

Agreed, he's still taking jabs from his fellow golfers despite the claims he's not.  I think Bubba was one of the most recent to make reference to his Top 5 comment.  I think Tiger was a bit arrogant but he backed it up.  If Reed backs it up and even finishes Top 10 in FedEx I'll cut him some slack.  I do agree with his comments that he and his peers have to be confident in their ability to play well.  What he doesn't seem to understand is there's a fine line when talking about one's self where confidence can be easily construed as arrogance if the right words aren't chosen.

Let go of my opinion? Drives me crazy that you're moderated not just for behavior, but for your views on this forum.

You weren't moderated. Not even a little.

I'm a "user" of the site too. I started this site because I like to talk about golf. That's the way in which I make almost all of my posts. If I'm "moderating" I'm pretty clear about it; it usually involves an "or else" type statement.

For god's sake, look at the name of this thread. My comment certainly isn't off topic.

Nobody said it was.

I can't repeat my view when the guy blows up on a Sunday?

You can (clearly), but to what end?

IMO, I think his comments are still haunting him and that's what I was saying. What's wrong with that?

It's gotten old. Move on. Or at least wait for him to say something else stupid.

Edit: Rick says it all:

Because you are beating a rotting corpse.  Your comment is based on ancient history.  Wait until you have some new news to castigate him for, then we'll let you up back up.  And just to be straight, I don't like the guy at all, but I haven't made a single comment in this thread until now.  You really need to let this one go.

His action of shooting himself in the head last week was the final blow. I can't stand to even see this man. Watching him screw up last week was lovely. That coming from someone that loves to see everyone do good on the course.

And all these comments about beating a dead horse... crazy.  Mr. Reed's actions prove the horse is not even close to dead. :)

BTW: I googled "Patrick Reed's behavior" and this thread is one of the top results. Looking it up because I was wondering if I was the only one that feels like I do about him.

I promise we'll only keep this thread going until he actually gets in the Top 5.

God helps us all if that never happens. :scared:

I think we should put a deadline, and then lock this thread. Then if you want you can start a new thread if he does reach top 5. :-P

Funny stuff, I vote to keep the thread alive. 30 new comments since the last time I checked in so obviously interest is still there.

Reed is ranked 7th this week in FedEx, so he's inching closer.  The fact the Jimmy Walker is and has been ranked #1 almost the entire season would entitle him to claim he's Top 3, wouldn't it?

About the world rankings,

Points remain on a player’s tally for two years (up to a maximum of 52 events played during that time), but they’re reduced on a sliding scale after 13 weeks, so recent performances carry greater weight.

This might take a long time :w00t:

Though if he gets a few more wins this year, and gets some wins next year he could climb to near or in the top 10. Right now he's 31st in the world. That is 31st with 3 PGA tour wins in only one one year over his previous 2 years.

Exactly, FedEx reflects what he did this season.  If he finishes FedEx Top 5 that would be good enough for me.

Golf is a global game.  You can't look at one tour's results and say that it's the definitive marker.

Getting someone to do that would save you some time, wouldn't it?:-\

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By mchepp ·

      When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.

      Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
