This "get that ball out of the hole" debate


Lancj1

Recommended Posts

I have read the tales of re runs of old opens and the like and I am finding it strange if I'm honest. When watching it on TV I first got the impression Speith was trying to get a heckler removed due to his seemingly agitated and aggressive manner and the pouting and gesticulating.

 

I will bet the caddie was well p****d off at this order and it's manner (even though they say not) and Spieth came over as an arrogant spoilt brat in the way he behaved.

 

Old golf footage my backside - extreme ego on display.

 

That my be an example of why some can't quite take to him ?

Things like this just take an apology if they were indeed taken the wrong way. That said, the caddy works for the player, and this one is paid rather well. If it is the guy who was once a school teacher, he is certainly getting better treatment as a caddy then he did in the public schools.

I wish that was the most abuse I ever took at work. I think MG makes more than me also....lol.

 

I think he will be just fine.

 

You would be the first.

They are very close friends and smack talking I'm sure is a requirement. For me I like he showed some moxyfor once he's usually so vanilla. I get he's no Ice Cube tough but it is golf.

 

I hate the term but this topic might define what a snowflake is.

Well since you claim to be serious......

 

  • No I didn't think he was 'trying to get a heckler removed' at any time. It was obvious he was reacting to the putt.
  • No....the caddie wasn't pissed off.
  • ....and no it didn't seem arrogant. Just someone who was pumped up over the situation and shared that with his caddie given the two have one of the tightest 'team' relationships on tour.

 

There is no 'debate' and if something that simple offends you then it may be best to stay away from competition because many times emotions are interjected by the competitors.

Really ? Not a troll ID at all. Just an opinion. Like I say when I watched it on playback (after spending the day at Birkdale following Fowler) my first reaction was a heckler had been in action and JS was trying to get him ejected. Sorry if that didn't come across to you when you watched it.

 

You were at Birkdale in Sunday and followed Fowler all day? I'd be upset at everything too if I were you.

Are you an American? If not I think your take on it versus most Americans take illustrates the difference in cultures. Some won't agree with what I'm about to say. So be it.

 

You see similar manners of expression to what Jordan said in team sports in America. You can't trash talk your teammates but players will engage in lighthearted banter to pump each other up. It's a part of American sport culture. In no way was it meant to be disrespectful to the caddy. Watch some of the dug out antics in baseball. They are similar to what the great JS did.

exactly WTF indeed.... theres alot of made up nonsense in the OP.. there was no heckler.. there was no ill feelings.. there is no controversey

 

 

 

look.. its very simple.. what you have here is a best Bud dynamic... they are on a different plain as far as conversation and language goes.. and alot of mind reading as well.... YJS was "in the tunnel" as i call it or in the zone.... if your player yelled out " let me see that cartwheel mike" you F-in drop the bag and do a cartwheel to keeep him there.... period.. why because youre the other half of "WE".... and We fixin to steamroll this shat! lol

 

 

I was taught as a kid to never try to break up a sibling fight or a husband wife argument...why? because they will both turn on you when you do.... same here.. even if Mike didnt like it , its not our business... But i suspect he LOVED it especially after the fact .. why ? because you search for ways to get your guy in the Tunnel... when you get him there youd do anything to kee him there...

Evidently the OP missed the look on Grellers face when JS pointed to the hole. He had a huge grin and in no way did it pi$$ him off.

If a person gets mad at you for telling the truth, they're living a lie.

The first problem with your whole premise is that you don't take Jordan's word for it. You are passively calling him a liar. Then you say "you bet the caddie was pissed off" when in fact he couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

 

This is how fake news gets started.

It really amazes me that people can get offended so easily. Wow

 

It was obviously just some smack talk, and if OP had actually bothered to use giyf.com before starting this nonsensical thread he would have known what Spieths reaction was about.

Haha... I learned something new this morning... GYIF. I Googled it before asking :)

The footage I watched led me to believe he was upset. 'Tis all I said. Sorry to have *****ed so many hackles. Maybe if I'd suggested Langer or Rahm was a cheat it'd be ok. Think I will stick to bantering elsewhere with the fellow club ho's ;)

So now you're trying to play off your misguided viewpoint as somehow our fault for disagreeing?
