Every time this bigot loses is a victory for humanity. He represents hatred and bias.

Because...?

Quotes from Bubba? Any evidence that he represents bias and hatred other than he is from the south, and bought a cool car from a popular TV show that has a flag on the roof? I really am curious, because I have not personally seen any such evidence.

For all we know his caddie knows that's part of his game, and how he works best, so he rolls with the punches and knows that it's really nothing in the end. We only see the "show." If Bubba sai

I actually realized the other day that I've kind of been passing judgement on Bubba, which is something that I really never try to do to anyone - especially people that I don't know. I never fi

@Golfing Paddy , I laughed hard the first time I read this.  Then I read it again inserting an Irish accent, which I assume you have, and laughed even harder!

agree ... seems a bit HARSH to me (the word "hatred" is overused in society today - any use of that word in public in relation to a PGA player I would question the source)

I'm a fan...very talented golfer that gives me hope that someday someone will mistake my slice for a Bubba-esque "power fade"

I'm a fan.

Considering his background, developed his own game and earned everything he has.

Definitely didn't grow up with a silver spoon like most guys on the tour did. Public school, Community college...

He can be whiney sometimes but overall he's fun to watch.  He's a lefty so that cuts him some additional slack with me.

Always been a fan of Bubba. I find him very entertaining. I like the unique swing. He obviously has ADD and unfortunately he doesn't have it under control. I get frustrated when he gets a little too "worked up", but it will take a lot more than that for me to dislike him. From what I understand is that he and his caddies are buddies. I kind of view their interactions similar to brother/sibling interactions. I take it with a grain of salt.

He is a creative shot maker. He is lefty, uses pink clubs, buttons up his shirts, has attitude.  That makes him colorful in a sport that can be drab.  Pro golfers have a code of conduct, dress, and demeanor that is remarkably narrow.  Guys like Daly, Ricky, and Bubba greatly enrich the sport.  I miss Ray Floyd, ChiChi, and Lee Trevino.

Funny shit.  Not a fan but glad to see him in China, doing the promotions and even appearing to enjoy them. I'm sure the $2MM (or whatever it was) appearance fee helps but still, it's a commitment to promote golf across the globe and I salute him for it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
