Golfers

I wonder who Local Garda is voting for, and whether he has 3 "r"s in his name, and is not German

ha you forgot mickelson. as much love as i've got for dudes like parnevik and freddy couples, tiger is the one who (obviously) got me into/playing golf (for which i'm eternally grateful) and might be my favorite athlete ever. so boring choice, but it's eldrick

also ill stan for JD on this list too

I can't decide actually. I think it has to be Seve if I'm being serious. I saw him play in Druids Glen before, towards the end of his career, and he was having a fucking nightmare, way over par. He put the ball in a toughish bunker at one of the par 3s, then proceeded to hole the bunker shot for a birdie to absolutely raucous cheers. Real Tin Cup moment.

x-post yeah prob should have Mickelson.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

unsuccessful thread

Other. Voting for Johnny Miller just cuz he's such a relentless dick as an announcer.

> titanic athletes

Too lazy to zing.

i'm playing Chambers Bay on Saturday! can't wait.

also, i voted for Fred Couples. Love his tempo and his attitude. I used to be called Boom Boom when i played on the High School golf team back in the early 90s. I also get to play on his home course on Beacon Hill in Seattle where there's a nice framed picture of him just inside the clubhouse.

i was thinking of starting a general golf thread!

never considered a poll & ive never really followed it much before last year...loved watching kenny perry last week win the fbr..if ppl want to keep this thread rolling during the season i'll prob post a lot

also i wish it wasnt the ass dead of winter so i could play

My brother in law and nephew are friends with Boo Weekley...he swears he's only in the game for a few years, long enough to accumulate enough money to never have to work again, then he's heading out to the woods for a lifetime of hunting and fishing. But now that he's had a taste of intl. team competition (and crazy $$$), I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his tune.

Voted Corey Pavin for that amazing fucking 4-wood to finish at Shinnecock.

boo weekley is a disgusting savage!! (jokes, I'm still just sour about the ryder cup and all the crowing) he seems like an OK dude

would have been good if fell off that driver

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key.

we need a sudden-death playoff amirite

can we reopen a poll? the people demand it moderators

no eamonn d'arcy no credibility

voted colin montgomerie, seems his extreme negativity negated my vote : /

rickie fowler's stache game is strong

i am a big fan of rickie. i hope he wins a major.

I'm also a big fan. I have his hat. His majors performances are always wildly inconsistent from day to day, but I'm sure he's got it in him.

he was really consistent a few years back - he used to be a really good place bet. he's also good on links so possibly a british open one day.

Lee Trevino should have made the list. It is reaching back quite a long time to a golfer who could be a bit of an asshole sometimes, but also could be quite endearing. He's about the least likely guy ever to become a PGA pro and a six-time majors winner.
