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!!!

That was an ugly display, in more ways than one, time to shave, that thing must be screwing with his vision.

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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.
