I don't like Poulter the golfer. He's obnoxious and rude to fans, media, volunteers, staff, etc.

I'm rooting against him harder than I ever rooted against Lexi last year (starting at this time last year).

Personal experience? I knew he was arrogant off the course, but have never seen it come through (admittedly only through watching on TV). 

In other news, Spieth has utterly ruined a hole from an easy spot on 10

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

He is super arrogant its almost like he is a comedian. That being said it is fun watching him hit shanks into the stands at 16 in Scottsdale. It was also fun when he blew the Honda a couple years ago with hosel fades!

Now that you remind me, I do think I read that a while back but totally forgot - sorry to hear about it (again). I still like the redemption aspect of this weekend based on the Masters invitation chaos after the WGC, but won't be pulling for him anywhere near as hard. 

For what it's worth, if it makes you smile, I know a couple of friends who have watered his parking spot at Woburn.

As special as Poulter is, he deserves some "potting soil."

I don't understand why Julian Suri's line isn't showing Fedex points. He's a European Tour player, doesn't have a tour card, so guessing that has something to do with it. Nor does his profile page show his earnings from the Dell Matchplay. I don't understand the subtleties (or are they omissions) of the pgatour.com website.

I don't think non-Tour players are in the FedExCup chase.

So earnings is still used to play one's way onto the Tour?

Huh? You have to be a PGA Tour member. Remember a few years ago when Rory declined? Membership means you have to commit to playing like 15 events or something… a lot of primarily European Tour players don't do it.

Really?

Three top tens (no top fives) in 12 trips there.

He will definitely get a new Ferrari when it was looking like he may lose his card a long time ago.

Rickie is hard to watch play golf at times. He shoots up to the lead early and makes a bad double then just 3 putted from close in to make a triple. He just doesn't have the it factor.

They have a saying in Texas that fits Rickie. "He's got a big hat, but no cattle."

Julian Suri is just starting out though. I forget how someone from Euro Tour who doesn't have qualifications for PGA Tour get to PGA Tour. I think win enough earnings to get high on money list? Like Brooks Koepka?

Nice to see rookie Suri finish strong.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
