Graham DeLaet is now one of my favorite golfers.  Such a pure ball-striker and he putts about as well as I do.  One of those players that leaves you in awe but still lets you think you could beat him on your home course if you happen to make a few putts.  And the beard is alright -- it just makes people jealous, I guess.

Yeah, he couldn't buy a putt yesterday.  Kind of felt bad for him.

I have two of those 20-something boys and they both have short hair and beards.  Like the look.  Looks great on 20-somethings, but not something I would ever attempt for the sake of everyone else!!!

Wonder what TPTB in the PGA Tour have to say about the beard? I have no problems w/it and it's his right to beard out all he wants.

If they have a problem, Graham will send Leo after them.

When a style trend makes it out of its founding niche into the general public, I usually pass. It's just a matter of time before it starts looking stupid. Hipsters in Brooklyn have been doing the huge beard/short hair thing for years. Now it's yuppie or whatever. Kind of like when all of a sudden, half the men in the US over 30 had a goatee. It's gonna be the 'teens version of the Mullet, when we look back 25 years from now.

I HATE IT!

We know that putting doesn't separate US from tour pros nearly as much as iron play and driving do....But geez when you are looking at the top players in the world, and among those the subset who are at the top of a leaderboard on the PGA tour, man is it ever devastating to putt lousy. Just killed him this week. He was something like 12+ strokes gained tee to green!!!!! And he couldn't putt well enough to win.

I like the guy. He is great to watch with his irons. I wish he could putt better.

I have some advice for the people on this thread.  Take the change out of your pocket and take a good look a the people on the coins.  Having a beard should not be any more comment worthy than having blue eyes.

This is frequently true of all trends.  Of course, after the period of time passes where we realize it looked stupid, a new era arrives where it becomes cool again, and the cycle continues.

The guy has a beard, who cares?  He's found a way to stand out,  not much differently than guys wearing Loudmouth clothes or Rickie Fowler with his capris and high tops.  

Golf is about self promotion and he found an angle to get himself some airtime.  He'd have been better off getting some putting lessons before drawing all that attention to himself but I'm sure he'll work on his putting.

Being in contention on the weekend tends to get airtime, beard or no.

That's ridiculous. He got airtime by being in the first page of leaderboard all weekend. 

His putting did suck though.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
