He didn't call you an idiot, he said that one particular opinion was idiotic. Further, he explained why ... And he has a good point. Your opinion on this makes little sense. Nobody's saying you can't have it, but we're just saying it's wrong.

I see it differently. Maybe I'm wrong for being respectful of other people. Saying I don't agree with your opinion and this is why is ok.  Calling someone else's "opinion" idiotic is not.  But hey, we do live in a world where people are growing less and less respectful every single day so I guess it's no surprise.

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

He was a little more emphatic than was probably necessary, I'll give you that ... but, still, he was just disagreeing with your opinion, and he wasn't calling you names.

Also, I don't think passive aggression is the most respectful way to debate either.

They all played the same course, but some were more penalized by the wind than others.  Fact is Reed put the best four days of golf together and deservedly won.  It was a great win against a tough field no one can take that away from him.

Yep, agree. Reed "survived" better than anyone. There is water everywhere on that course. You can't get "lucky" for four straight rounds.

I'm sure the old school guys were arrogant but that doesn't change the fact they they run the airwaves now and they are gonna burn him big time on the air if he doesn't win again.

You are overstating it. If Reed falls off the face of the earth, he will be nothing but a footnote and nobody will care. But I suspect that a guy who has already won three times in the last 7 months is not falling off the face of the earth anytime soon. This was no one-and-done. Kid can play.

Let's be real, if Reed didn't say what he did during those interviews and have his cute wife caddy for him no one would even know his name.  The interviews, intentional of not, have kept him relevant much longer than most no name golfers that win a tournament.

Jimmy Walker is probably consulting with a PR firm to find out why he's won 3 times this season and no one is talking about him.

Who? Is that the brother of the guy that makes the whiskey? ;-)

Well, some people are talking about him

Just heard the announcers during the first round of the  Valspar talking about the "confident" Patrick Reed...then they started sarcastically saying that they were top 5 announcers LOL. Pretty funny.

Pretty funny.  It shows that even some guys that are closely involved with "the business" feel he was being arrogant.

I think it shows that his comments were controversial and commentators and bloggers like to drag this stuff out to the end.  Miller knows what it's like out on the Tour, I'm sure he's chuckling a bit because he has an idea on the level of ribbing that Reed will get from fans and others on the Tour.

He might be arrogant and it might work for him, let's see how he does the rest of the season.  If he plays like close to a Top 5 the rest of the season I'll be happy for the guy, plus Callaway needs an heir to Phil.

Given Reed's admiration of Tiger what are the chances Nike tries to sign him away from Callaway.

I'm sure Phil (Knight) will be on a plane before the season ends if Reed can rack up substantial wins.

Shot 77 on Sunday.

Only one shot more than Adam Scott and he's #2 player in the world, so he's basically still top 5 ;-)

Seems Reed has ruffled feathers within the golf world.  The commentators were pretty quick to take pot shots at Reed almost every time they switched coverage to him.   I realize these guys love controversy but I think it's also because Reed has brought some of this attention on himself, almost like a rookie hazing.

Well, I feel like I've given him a fair shot.  I watched his entire Monday press conference and it confirmed for me that I don't care for this guy.

I think he answered all the question great. I thought he handled the questions that were aimed at trying to get him to say something they could publish or talk about well. I see him as a person who is comfortable with who he is. He handles himself well. Just because he's out spoken it shouldn't be taken against him. I honestly rather hear someone talk honestly about themselves than sit there and throw out the same script every time.

      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.
