A) Jason Day or Stenson - I like Jason Day's swing and hes a cool guy in general.  He plays a high draw which is what I aspire to play and he's got a well rounded game when he's on.  Stenson is up there too because of his 3 wood, iron play and unbelievable ball striking

B) Tiger - no explanation needed

Current: Don't really have a stand out favorite player. i like the young guns... especially JT. also a big fan of Henrik Stenson

All time: Tiger. I would like to see another top player show the same attitude towards golf that he did... I feel like a few players have similar talent levels that he did, mostly DJ and Rory, but they don't have the same composure/ferocity/killer instinct. Spieth is probably the closest as far as mentality goes.

Difficult to say.  If we are talking about contemporary persons...I'd say Stacy Lewis.  Don't know why I find myself pulling for her...but I do.  Going way back...how can you not like Byron Nelson?  There are just too many; and I've never met any of them.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

1. Jordan Speith: his mental strength and putting are what he does best

2. Seve Ballesteros: he showed great charisma on the course and it is amazing watching him play in the ryder cup back in the 80s

1.  Would probably have to be Spieth.  Young kid with a very mature makeup.  There are a few things I could pick on him about but I think he's great for the game of golf.  Came right when Tiger was on his way out.

2.  I have to say Tiger.  He and I are close in age and I watched him start to dominate as my game was getting better and better.  I only wish he could soften his fall from the top but I don't see it happening.  My second is Davis Love III.  In my early years he was the guy I always wanted to watch...I loved his swing and still do today.  Plus he's a great embodiment of what you want to see out of golfers today.  Very classy and respectful.

Fairways and Greens.

1. Spieth. We are similar in age, he's not afraid to show his emotions on the course, good family guy, etc. Close 2nd is Dustin Johnson. We have almost identical body types so I like watching his swing, he just hits the ball 50-80 yds further than me :whistle:

2. Tiger. Some of my earliest memories of watching golf were watching Tiger dominate in the early 2000s. I still enjoy watching highlights from him on YouTube.

Speith - when his putter is on, he's unbelievable.

Nicklaus Palmer Hogan Jones - the most successful player of all time IF you consider how short his career was, and he helped found and build Augusta National and The Masters, there is no greater tournament still!

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
