Bubba Watson most disliked player by his PGA peers?
Yardbarker/Larry Brown Sports ^ | 1 hr ago | By Steve DelVecchio

Posted on 04/06/2015 11:30:05 AM PDT by Ronald_Magnus

An ESPN.com poll surveyed 103 tour pros (21 major champions) and asked them a variety of serious and lighthearted questions. One of the questions asked golfers which of their peers they would be least likely to assist in the event that a fight broke out in the parking lot. Bubba’s name showed up the most.

There are plenty of people who like Watson because of his unorthodox style of play and seemingly great sense of humor (remember those hilarious “Golf Boys” videos?). However, Bubba rubbed some people the wrong way when he basically threw a hissy fit last year because he didn’t want to take part in a long drive competition. He has also been known to berate his caddy when things don’t go his way on the course.

Tiger just needs to come out with just few clubs that he knows ge can hit well. Like playing with some old timer who can’t hit the long ball but shoots less than his age.

Tiger could probably shoot even par if he didnt over swing and just played within himself.

Bubba is a south Georgia red neck

***************

He spent a couple of years at the University of Georgia. He grew up in FL,
attended a community college in AL before transferring to UG. He currently
lives in Windermere, Florida where he purchased the home previously owned
by Tiger Woods. I’d consider him a southerner but not a South Georgia red neck.
JMO.

your ignorance doesn’t mean my knowledge is BS - Hoch is from my hometown - I followed his career closely. Why your teeny tiny noggin would doubt that there are players who don’t like everybody and why you think I would go back and make it up is just a window into a dark tiny soul.

I like Patrick Reed. He is tough and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. At the end of the tournament, he’s likely to be rolling them in.

I also like Ian Poulter...

Your bitter anecdote fails to match up to anything that is visible or audible about professional golf.

It appears to be a reflection of your person, not of the sport of golf.

Could be. But why would he not have control of himself if he were?

it’s a reflection of human nature....the idea that all pro golfers love each other is so pollyannish as to make you a posting joke.

Jimenez makes every cut in every major, but is almost always like the last guy to make the cut.

Perhaps Jiminez is working just enough to cover his costs for good cognac and cigars.

That’s funny....but I think he’s turning a profit over and above that. He’s not wasting it on hair cuts....

Not caring what anyone thinks isn't necessarily an asset. Being a chubby, arrogant SOB isn't necessarily an advantage for landing lucrative endorsement contracts either.

Ah, but don’t overlook the additional expenses for beautiful women to go with good cognac and cigars. $$$$$$$

recognizing your weaknesses does not make me bitter....it makes me observant.

“Tiger just needs to come out with just few clubs that he knows ge can hit well.”

The weakness is between your ears.

So is the bitterness.

Projecting your grudges on the golfers is childish. Its a well established tradition in golf to congratulate one’s opponent on his successes, not to act like a spoiled brat.

it’s not my grudges you dumbass....I like Hoch - he was hometown boy - used to cut grass for my grandfather - who over paid him to support his golf game.

I was not happy that he was not popular, but he just wasn’t. He just wasn’t.

You’re just off your meds and babbling about that which you no not a damned thing about.

The only one here in need of ‘meds’ is yourself.

Its not just this thread, you’re always full of hate and bitterness.

in other words, I live rent free in your head. I don’t pay enough attention to you to even know what you’re normally like, other than irrelevant.
