The announcers on PGA.com are so in the bag for Spieth it's absolutely nauseating. They're falling over each fawning over him. Makes me want to vomit.

99.9% of the public, the writers, everyone loves Jordan Spieth and what he means for the game. But there are always going to be those 10 haters who will spew their garbage no matter what. It's pathetic.

All I heard on the app all morning was "jordan is struggling" from the commentators so I don't even think you have your facts right. Hey, but haters are going to hear what they want to hear.

I think Spieth gets a little star struck at times with certain players. Just a perception.

I thought the same thing yesterday. Gotta be tough playing with Rory....the one guy who is arguably better than him. But he's outplaying Rory. He can't make any putts this week but his short game has been outstanding. Already holder out twice.

Amazing shot by Spieth. Wouldn't be surprised if that shot propels him and finishes the day amongst the leaders.

Exposure will get him over this....probably this round will do it. He is still a kid, really.

i'm not a "hater"....

but i have the same feeling as rfkfreak...

and no, i do not care for jordan...

that does not change the fact that i think he is a great player and i like to watch him play...  however, just because he is great doesn't mean i have to like him...

however, given your screen name, i don't expect you to understand that...

So two of you are not "haters" but "I do not care for Jordan." LOL. You really think those two things go together? Not liking someone -- with no rational reason -- is being a "hater." Constantly saying negative things about a person with no rational reason is being a hater. Do you really not get that?

Both of the golfers I don't like -- Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia -- are because of rational reasons (obnoxiouness, being a bigot) but you don't have a single rational reason to "not like Jordan" except for wanting to be contrarian I suppose. But it still makes you a hater.

I seriously doubt that Jordan was "star struck" by Rory. Maybe 2 years ago but not now. If he was "star struck" he wouldn't have been tied with Rory after the 1st round.

But both are playing nice and that's great to see. I'm really hoping they get paired up the rest of the weekend. That would be exciting to see.

George Coetzee? Where the frick did he come from? Didn't even know he was in this tournament.

guess there was at least low number out there today... certainly wasn't on my pre-tournament favorite list...

It's great to see [COLOR=181818]George Coetzee doing so well.  I grew up with many posters of him in my room, and being that he was my childhood idol, I'm going to be rooting for him really hard the rest of the way.[/COLOR]

Damn dude, you must be young, what's Coetzee, 30?

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
