What Pro/Celebrity would you NEVER want to play with?

[CFrazier]

Gents,

We’ve all seen the post about the ultimate foursome or one person who you’d love to play a round with if ever given the chance.

Here’s a twist to that topic... Who is/are pro golfers or celebrities that you’d never want to grace the course with? Why is that?

 

Mine:

Patrick Reed- I think the guys a cheating douche based on many things I’ve heard over the years.

Patrick Cantlay- Dude shimmy’s his feet 17 times before every shot and I think after 2-3 holes it would drive me insane....

 

 

WITB:

Callaway GBB Epic Driver/3 Wood/Hybrid

Callaway Apex 16 Irons 4- G Wedge

Callaway MD3 Wedges 54/58*

Odyssey EXO Seven w/ SS Mid-slim 2.0

Taylormade TP5X Tour Ball

 

[bens197]

Celebrity? Trump

Pro golfer? Bubba

Celebrity I’d least like to play with would be Michael Jordan

Golfer I’d least like to play with would be Kevin Na.

Pretty sure my response to the question "Do you want to play with Kevin?" would be a resounding "Na"

Lmao!!!!! That’s pretty good. Wish I’d have thought of that! I worked a tourney here in Hawaii. Not only was he rude and entitled, his entire entourage (dad) was that way as well.

I’m going to take the Christian approach to this thread by repeating the golden rule of loving my neighbor as I would myself and not judging someone I’ve never met or played golf with. What you see on TV or read about on the internet most certainly does not give us a fair representation of who a person is.

I’ve probably said a few bad words or more about PReed, based on things he’s said or done, but if in person I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I just can’t go on record saying I wouldn’t play golf with someone without personal knowledge or experience.

I agree with GSwag on this one.  I don't see how it is possible to judge someone that you have never met.  Things on tv or the internet can be edited and spun to look anyway the person writing or reporting it wants it to.  One answer out of context can look really bad.

As for the question, I can honestly say that I enjoy playing golf so much that I am not sure that there is anyone that I have currently met that I wouldn't play a round with.  I got out so little this year and now the season is pretty much over in Northern Iowa that just being on the course would be awesome.

Celebrity- A certain head of state with golf courses named after him.

Pro- Paige Spiranac. No way I could explain that to my wife.

Celebrity - Any and all celebrities or politicians

Pro - Jim Colbert (retired) he was a dick.

[tony@CIC]

I concur on the politicians - wouldn't want to play with any of them. Celebrities probably Bill Murray. Pro golfers don't know any of them well enough to say yea or nay.

Actually.... don't you know a lot of LPGA players? They count. I think the ladies in general have a better attitude. ? 

[fixyurdivot]

Celebrity: Tom Brady (plays non conforming balls)

Pro: Fuzzy Zoeller (probably a hoot to play with but smokes like a chimney)

To be honest, picking a pro I wouldn't want to play with was a tough decision... celebrities not so much.

Despite having quit smoking in March of 1994, I still enjoy second hand smoke outdoors.

A smoke filled room, once the equivalent of a mother's womb to me, would probably be a little tough these days.

 

But I'm just the opposite from our man fixyurdivot.

Celebrities and politicians both , from a  purely sociological perspective, might have more in common with me than most pro golfers--

or even pro athletes, of which I was once actually one..

 

To answer the question, I probably wouldn't want to play with ANY pro golfer

unless it was an actual club golf pro that I knew

or a 1970s hippie--possibly lesbian LPGA star.  I really liked some of those. They were fun.

As for celebrities, I obviously wouldn't play with

Kanye West, Scott Baio, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock....

any of that group.

I see a pattern here .  So what professional sport did you play?

Not judging anyone at all. I had a bad experience with both Jordan and Na that I would prefer not to repeat.

Jordan is a nice guy. He smokes and gambles like it’s his job to do so. Unless you are into that sort of thing it can be quite exhausting to spend four hours with a dude constantly talking smack, blowing smoke on you and demonstrating how rich he is.

Kevin Na is not pleasant to be around in a competitive environment. He acts entitled and as if everyone around him is there to serve him. This is also not a judgement. It comes from my personal experience.

I was going to say Bill Murray and figured i would be in the minority.

In my mind he quit being funny 20 years ir more ago. Now he just seems like an old act that tries too hard.

My neighbor's rescue greyhound is also a former professional athlete like me.

Old, broken down, unheard of, but taking it nice and easy now.

 

I gave up my amateur status while in college to make some spending money boxing on regional club cards.

I pretty much like everyone, there are things I don’t like about people, but they are still people, i can’t stand Obama, but I would still tee it up with him, I think it would be interesting to talk with him, he’s an intelligent guy, just because I don’t care for his politics doesn’t mean that’s I can’t be a good human being. 

I would pkauba round of golf with anyone pro. The only one that I can think of that I may take a pass on would be Vijay, but again, I he has a vast knowledge of the game, and could be interesting to talk with.

Ditto! 

Might swap Reed for Vijay though.

I think it would be intriguing to play a round of golf with Reed. I think he is a very brash, cocky, highly volatile guy that could be fun to play golf  with. Everyone has demons in their past, I know I do. I don’t want to presume anything about him based on news coverage and the internet, I wasn’t there, and I don’t know the situation, as for his attitude for golf, Superman had lex Luther, Batman had the Joker. PGA tour has Reed. I think it would be fun. There I guys I don’t like, but there is no way I’m turning down a round of golf, most likely at a nice course.

Yeah, my problem has nothing to do with the off the course stuff. I am not the one to judge him on the limited facts I have. Believe me, I know there are 2 sides to every story. My problem is the brash, cocky, volatile side. While I probably wouldn't turn down the opportunity to golf with him because he would be interesting to talk to, I guess I just wouldn't want to play with him on a regular basis.

I have played with both. The first was actually a lot of fun and a pretty nice guy.

As for the second my wife told me damn she is hot but not worth half so enjoy your round of golf. Turns out a middle aged CPA at buffet weight was not really her type so there was nothing to worry about.

Wait...am I paying for the round or the person I’m playing with? If someone else is shelling out the money, I’ll play with anyone.

Don't know them but I've been up close to them at tour events. Since they don't draw the crowds like PGA you can stand right next to them on the putting green or the tee box. And they are very friendly ( I probably remind them of their grandfathers). .
