gkatshoots69 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 -LMAO!!! "Just showing off"?!?!?!? It's called winning and carding top 10's every other week he tees it up. Please. -Bottom line: Mr. gkatshoots69, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Mr. Gunmetal, seriously? I wasn't trying to score any points so I don't know why you would award me any in the first place. Top 10's every other week? Must be I'm watching different tournaments. Lastly, I feel dumber for reading your response and then wasting my time responding. If you have read every single post people have made you would see that there is a lot of good conversation about what I posted, it's not dumb stuff.

RoverRick Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 LOL...+1...Sorry for goin OT, though I gotta ask..Does it bother you when someone uses first name initial & middle name?ex: R. Patrick Jacobs II....That bugs the living sh*t outa me...LOL...Just drop the initial and go by your middle name....BTW, I go by Richard, not R.P...I just use that on the computer, though when I was little, when my dad was pissed at me, he'd call me RP.... Fairways & Greens 4ever.......... Before I go slightly, well, way off target and write what I want, I want to say that when I first read this topic, I was the second viewer, I decided it was not worthy of comment. This is now the third time I have commented, but have not read it since the second day. I spent the last bit reading all the posts and Wow. Who would have thought. I thought GKA s initial reasoning was, well, stupid but he is certainly entitled to his opinion. Obviously it is something that generates interest. Now, for the off topic. The first initials. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the H. stood for nothing. His father, Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf, who ran the investigation into the Linberg Kidnapping, and later was a Colonel in WWII startioned in Iran and ran the Lend Lease program to Russia, was a West Point Graduate. He was hated the name Herbert and he scoffed at the Army's in ability to accept that someone could have just initials. Because the upper classmen called him Herbert, and the administration would not let him just go by H. he named his son H. Norman so that when he went to West Point or joined the army it would screw with the administrators. so in Army speak, he became, H (FIO) Norman. FIO means first initial only. The military can also not deal with no middle name. So if you name is Joe Smith, than the army would officially list you as Joe (NMI) Smith. This of course has nothing to do with Gerry Lester (Bubba) Watson, but one of the many useless facts that cloud my mind.

revkev Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have a former member who's the assistant soccer coach at St. John's, where Keegan went to college - he's played with Keegan a number of times including at Bethpage Black - he said it's unreal - big shocker there. I'll never forget the first time I saw Daley and then the first time I saw Tiger and then the first time I saw Robert Garrigus - each reprresented a huge uptick in distance from anything I had ever seen before. With the presimmon clubs the thing about the pros wasnt' their length - they were long for sure but not outrageously so - it was their consistency and ability to work the ball - Daley was really the start of the bomb and gauge style of play - I saw him at Bayhill and they had to send security to move some kids who were playing in their back yard just in case - they were well over 300 yards away. I saw Tiger as an amateur at Oakland Hills hit one on 18 on a line that had to be in the trees on the right only it was in the middle of the fairway on the other side of the trees 120 from the green on a 450 yard hole (doesn't sound like much but it was then) The first time I saw Garrigus he was on a 225 yard par 3 - everyone was hitting 5 - after a lengthy discussion he hit 7 - to the back. On the next hole he blew his hybrid past where Billy Andrea had just hit his driver - I thought, "That's the difference between the players of today and yesterday - right there."

Shambles Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Up close and personal is always so much more impressive than intellectual appreciation, for me in any case. Every time I see a pro play my home course and see where his ball ends up off the tips and on the green, I'm disgusted by how far behind I truly am. It's so much more emotionally comfortable to settle for a TV announcement and a screen that poorly represents the actual fairways.

sparnar Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ok, it might be a mistake posting this here. but i'm going to do it anyway. earlier on this post, i admitted that i do not care much for bubba. i can't really pinpoint why, but he just rubs me the wrong way. when i say i am not a fan of him, i am certainly not commenting on his integrity, or anything like that. i simply don't like him much. it sounds like he is a pretty decent guy, and he does some great work for charities, which i really respect. i came across the below tidbit on geoffshackleford.com, and while i am open minded enough not to take it as gospel, i feel that IF, and only IF, bubba did in fact respond in this way, he won't be making too many friends. ============================================================= Grace, who opened with a 2-over-par 72, was just the 11th longest driver in Thursday's field, averaging 334 yards per drive. Bubba Watson led the way, averaging 351.5 yards per drive. Watson hit his driver 11 times in the first round. How many fairways did he hit? “I don't know,†Watson said. “I shot 4 under. That's all I know.†============================================================= i just want to stress that i am not sure how these events played out, and if the above is taken out of context, don't crucify me for posting. it is also hard to guess the tone it was said in. make up your own minds...

sparnar Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 thanks, RP. like i said, my dislike of bubba has got nothing to do with his integrity and values. he just irks me. but as i said before, he must be good for the game of golf, and that is good for all of us! i actually saw an interview with tiger over the weekend, and i thought he was pretty amicable(for tiger, that is). maybe he is getting better? i also read that when he played with branden grace (from south africa), that he picked up grace's divots and carried it back to him on one or two occassions. although again, i can't confirm whether this really happened. i think i also saw this on geoffshackleford.com. it does sound improbable... anyway, don't want to go OT.

RoverRick Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have seen him on Faherty and he was on some other show tonight that I caught part of. Bubba appears to be odd about some things. He also appears to be a great guy who likes to have a fun time in a goofy way. He is very religious and abhors alcohol. These last two facts may rub people the wrong way. As far as using his driver, hitting fairways, and his course management he says that the driver and the wedge are the two clubs he is most comfortable with. That this is how he chooses to make his living and as long as he can do it this way that is the way he will do it. He feels the stats are useless and pays no attention to them. So when asked about them he honestly does not know or care. He wants to hit it as far as he can, find his ball, hit it as close as he can to hole and make a putt. While I am not a fan of this mentality, as I have stated in many posts, that is because I do not have his driver and wedge skills. I watched a Ping commercial today where he stood in front of the mirror and gave himself a peptalk and he came across as an arrogant ahole. He does not come across that way in these two shows I have seen. I think everyone's bad opinion of him is wrong because it is reported wrong. I do not think he likes reporters much because they question his golfing philosophy. I think he gets very tired of them questioning how he plays golf. Because the only time they question it is when he is really good oro really bad. When he plays well, they are stupid questions because it is working. When he play poorly, well, how would you like to defend what is obviously a stupid decision because the ball is at the bottom of the lake. I think that pisses him off and therefore he comes across wrong in interviews. The funny thing is we do not hear bad things about Fowler, Mahan, and Crane and they are all supposed to be buddies. Seems like if he were really such a p rick they would not hang out with him.

sparnar Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 RR, i don't know bubba. i don't even know all that much about him. i've only really gotten to know bits of him since his masters win. and while i will agree that it sounds like he could be a nice guy in real life, he still just rubs me the wrong way. as for his religion, i very much respect him for that, being a christian myself. i hope that you do not feel that i am indirectly calling bubba a pr*ck through my postings. that is certainly not what i am trying to bring across. maybe bubba needs a good PR guy, to help him with the way he comes across. he sounds like the type of guy that might think of something like PR as a bit of nonsense. but he is in the public eye, and if he can improve in some ways, he might be less polarising. but again, as i have said a few times on this post, he is good for the game. and even though i might not root for him during tournaments, its not like i want him off of the tour, or wish anything bad on him. there is just other golfers i would rather prefer to do well.

The other thing, and to be fair, I've gotta put this on the table and that is my girl has a major crush in Snedeker...Thinks he's the cutest guy and sooooo sweet... It sickens me..lol...So in all fairness, ego and insecurity are a factor in my rant however I still didn't like his antics even before I "lost" her to him.....lol Fairways & Greens 4ever..... Let your hair grow, dye it blonde and get yourself a goofy Bridgestone visor. I wear a visor rather than a hat most of the time, to show off that I still have hair, actually because I find full caps hotter, but the ones with a proper cap type bill not those actually feminine type visors like he and some others wear.

RoverRick Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 LOL....OT, but what the hell, I've driven us through the ditch & into the trees...LOL...I too wear a visor(mostly Mizzys & Titleist) and I'm bald on top...Thank goodness I'm 6'2" tall so most people are not looking down on my dome...lol..... Fairways & Greens 4ever..... DItto on the Titleist & Mizzy visors but I also wear an old Ben Hogan and of course I have a Range Rover visor. Bubba was featured on Inside the PGA this week, and while I have issues with his style of golf I still like him. He does not appear to care if he wins or not. I mean he wants to win but he would rather come in second than change the way he plays the game. Hit driver every hole and fire at every flag. If he loses because of it so be it. He is still going to get a check. Buuba Golf is sort of a one man-one ball scramble. I may try that this week when I get my new driver shaft, since I will want to hit it a lot to get used to it, and report back how my round went.

RoverRick Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It's funny, and RR, I don't know if you fall into this category, because I did prior to looking at Bubba's stats which is why I posted them on page 5 of this thread, however I thought that since all I see on TV are shots of Bubba going over, around and occasionally attempting to go through trees, that "Bubba Golf" was costing him strokes and tournaments, however the tour stats say different.... Before the week of the Master's I did not think much of Bubba, and I did not think often of Bubba. I thought that he was one of the four guys that made the music video and he could hit the ball a long way but was never going to amount to a great golfer because he had no course management. He went to play some Euro event and caused all kinds of problems. Then the Monday of the Master's he was on Feherty. I got to see him in a different light and found out that he almost won a major last year, and ended up winning a tournament. I also looked up his stats and well he was not as bad as I thought. I was not as shocked that he won as I would have been had I not watched the show and looked him up. I found out during Feherty that he was not a trouble maker, and in high school, he was not out late on Friday and Saturday nights because he was up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings playing golf. He said while all his peers were asking daddy for money, he was taking their daddy's money on the course every week. I thought that was pretty cool. We have a three of kids like that at my club and it has been fun to watch them develop over the years. Two of them are actually Orville Moody's grandsons. They have a lot of game. Also, the incidents that were reported in France were totally blown out of proportion. His biggest sin was to call the Palace of Versailles and the Louve, a castle and a museum. How much culture do you expect from someone named Bubba who can afford any car in the world and he buys the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard show. I love the fact that he drives it to tournaments and around town. Cool yes, culture no. As I said I am not a fan of Bubba golf, but I was wrong about his game. I would not be shocked if he won this week, but I would not put the house payment on it.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 One other Bubba moment that I believe bares mentioning...If you want to diss him or not like him, that's cool...Seriously, no problem, just try to look at the whole picture and not just those snapshots that reinforce your opinion & belief...If for no other reason than to do so will sift into other areas of your life and you'll be a better, more successful person....So here's the deal..... A lot of you probably saw or heard about this yet it hasn't been mentioned and along with his buddies coming out onto the green following his Masters win I believe it says a lot about Bubba Watson....Tuesday mornings on the Golf Channel are called "Champions' Tuesday" and they usually get at least one or more of the previous week-end's tournament winners from the the various pro tour(s) on the phone for a brief interview... Well, after a break they were expecting to get Bubba on the phone, he, decked in his green jacket, walked around the production people, past the cameras & onto the set, much to the surprise & shock of the hosts. You could see the shock, surprise & happiness on their faces as they all hugged and he sat down with them..He has been a frequent telephone guest over past couple of years and he told them that he felt that he owed them since they had always been "in his corner" and treated him fairly... It was great TV and you could plainly see how much that it meant to the Golf channel guys...Think of the previous 48 hours..Even though Bubba doesn't drink and carrouse, I'll bet he hadn't gotten a lot of sleep... And he did something totally unasked, unexpected and on his dime....What he did was big...Real big...And think about it...How many other guys would have done that?...Well, based on the 2+ years the show''s been on the air, no others have done it.... No, I started out on this thread thinking that he was an arrogant, self-centered, elitist pr*ck....I was wrong.... If my son turned out like Bubba, I'd be damn proud...He is a gentleman and a loving husband, father & friend...Like him or not, ya gotta give it to him...He's got his sh*t together, when so many around him are clueless....You know that his father is looking down and smiling...His legacy's in good hands... And to top it all off, he hits the piss outa the ball... Fairways & Greens 4ever..... He is who he is - unapologetically. KInd of surprised he's considered a polarizing figure - he always seemed like a pretty good guy when he wasn't winning anything, and it doesn't appear as though winning a major has changed that very much.

carlosportsman Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I personally like Bubba he has a good grasp on life though I am not religious at all, it's nice that he is willing to open up to the world with his golf and his life. http://carlothesportsman.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/2012-pga-championship-preview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK in TEXAS Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well, according to Team Stream(a great, great app BTA), the top five most popular guys on Tour are: 1) Bubba 2) Rickie 3) Rory 4) David Duval(I love the guy, though can you believe that he made it, much less at #4) 5) Ernie Els WHAT???? That's crazy! I guess if the formula is "like - dislike = popularity" I could see it. Otherwise wouldn't Tiger be the runaway winner?

GolfSpy WD Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 WHAT???? That's crazy! I guess if the formula is "like - dislike = popularity" I could see it. Otherwise wouldn't Tiger be the runaway winner? Right, I'd imagine only Rory is remotely close, but the distance between Rory and Tiger and Rory and Bubba would be measured similar to the Richter scale. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That list is hard to believe. All likable guys, but top 5? Phil is hugely popular. Seems like he would end up higher than a couple of those at least. Tiger? Hard to say what most people think of him anymore. But he still has got to be near the top. Nobody draws crowds like he still does. I wonder how they came up with that list. Is it the most popular among the tour players themselves, or who the public likes the most? I could see that making sense if the players were asked since they know each others personalities compared to what the public sees on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey golf Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That list doesn't make sense. You can't tell me that the public picks Duval over other big names, no offense to Duval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
