I root for Bubba despite the fact that I don't always agree with him, he's a special player and fun to watch, a bit over the top with the fist pumps but those were some amazing shots so who am I to judge? I'd probably be doing back flips if I did that.

Patrick Reed has gone from one of my least favorite to one of my favorite golfers in the span of one season...  Sure, he shouldn't be spouting slurs and F-bombs, but at least the kid has some balls an

I know Bubba gets a lot of flack on here, but I become a bigger fan of his with each tourney. Congrats on this win.

That "I'm not going to hit driver at the longest drive contest just to prove a point." was lame.

Up until that point I didn't have a problem with him. That moment changed my perception of him.

I don't like Bubba's attitude/demeanor a lot of the time. That "I'm not going to hit driver at the longest drive contest just to prove a point." was lame.

Yup, like @TheWood ... that was also the point when I kinda changed my tune on the guy.  In this tournament, it was on like 15 or something on the last day, when he started loudly complaining about a car horn during his backswing on his drive.  As if he didn't notice that the car horns had been blaring off and on all day every day to that point?  I think he needs a little shock collar that is remotely controlled by his publicist.  As soon as the first "REALLY?!?!?!?!" comes out of his mouth, she zaps him and he shuts up. :-P Because ...

However, I really enjoy watching him play, and he makes me laugh sometimes. I like that commercial where he's testing out that new driver with the turbulators (sp?), and at the very end he hits a 340 yard drive...he's smirking at the camera and says, "you're welcome." I love that.

I agree with this.  I, and I think probably most people too, WANT to like him.  (Personally, I think the pgatour.com commercial where he gets immediately fatter when taking the bite of the donut is his best work)  But he makes it so dang easy to dislike him sometimes.

From what I saw on tv..looked like Bubba has toned it down a tad. Like others, love watching him play, don't like his antics howevere. If he can control those, I'd be a fan, that bunker shot was unreal..

      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.
