  1. 1. Is this just Bubba being Bubba or should the PGA reconsider holding a long drive compeition during a practice round?

    • Bubba needs to get over himself
      52
    • PGA should let the golfers prepare for the tournament without unnecessary distractions.

Time four Bubba  to give a kid something.

Then we can all talk about how "cool" it was.

His genius is to know what people say about him but not read it.

Hey...he's just trying to live a "Christian life" whatever that is.

I'm just trying to see the connections, but can't.  He's a thoroughly unpleasant, nasty jerk.  But...he's going to heaven, so you aren't allowed to criticise him.

But @cipher 's point is that you're pointing the finger in the wrong place.  It's not Christian bullshit, it's Bubba's bullshit.  And your dads condo boards bullshit.  The comment "... some tir

Yup.

Bubba to me is a "fake nice guy."

That must be the cool, suave, laconic response that the tag line and avatar are so desperately trying to convey.

Bet you're wearing a Hugh Hefner style smoking jacket and holding a brandy balloon.

Very cool.

Just don't have the cravat too loose or too tight. It has to be  just right.

This from the Guardian - sums this jerk up pretty nicely.

Bubba Watson won’t be reading this

Bubba Watson falls into that unfortunate batch of sportspeople who claim, “The media write bad things about me. But I never read any of it anyway.”

The classic contradiction. As is the supposedly official Bubba Twitter account, which is routinely updated at moments when it couldn’t possibly be by the golfer himself.

What has specifically riled Watson is unclear. He started his sniping towards the press at the Open and has continued the theme this week.

“I think the media really loves me because I don’t give PC answers,” Watson said. “Sometimes people write different stories and make it and twist it in ways they want to. But again, the way I live my life and the way I want to live my life as a Christian, I don’t read, I took the internet off my phone. I don’t read what people write about me. I don’t read what people say about me.

“My true friends, my family, they know who I am as a person and what my heart is all about.”

Which all sounded like rambling nonsense to me. One wonders what Watson’s sponsors think, given his sudden and apparent aversion to utilising the tool most useful to them.

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

Awe.  That's cute that you slam my character, how predictable, let's hug it out.

It does not take much for a personal Shorty slam does it?  I think I've proven my point.

No...you didn't read my post.

It was the cruelness and biting wit of the two word response that hurt my feelings so irreparably.

He managed, in one laconic swipe to cause more psychological harm than a hundred pages of pro Bubba, pro Christian and pro gun lobbyists could achieve.

The thought of the raised pinky as he elegantly tapped the send button with his index finger continues to haunt me - and it happened a quarter of an hour ago.

This literally made me laugh out loud and I choked on my damn energy drink. Wow.. :beer:

EDIT: I re-read the thread and have no idea what's going on either, but this line caught me in the middle of a very monotonous 5 hour task and got me.

Shorty if it will cheer you up, please know that I will buy a copy your book as soon as it is released.  I'm hoping for a signed copy, but that may be a far fetched wish. :beer:

      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.
