I wonder how his ice cream place does financially. Something I've always been curious about.

Really?

He ALWAYS posts comments like that. I think he's trying to boost his post number so he doesn't have to pay the $5 in the BST. Just a guess.....

 

Well if that’s the case I’d say he isn’t trying very hard since he’s been a member for a year and a half.

I personally always wonder if he’s ever going to ditch that hideous bimatrix shaft. Technology marches on and it is a relic, but he sure seems to dig it. I guess if it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it.

 

 

 

Oh.....and his place is candy and ice cream for anyone that cares.

hybrid and two iron in the same loft and a 5 wood at 17.5. probably has the 5 wood cranked strong as he has always played a 4 wood in the past. seems like a lot of over lap at the top of the bag.

Sometimes is not about the gaping but about the shot making capabilities. I bet he can hit enough different shots/yardages with each club that he cares less about the distances they travel and more about the trajectories and spin combinations. A thousand ways to try and get safely in to tight fairways (or likely a certain par 3)

agreed, but his bag still seems top heavy to me. obviously it works for him, and he know more what works for him than i do.

I feel like I'm one of the few that likes Bubba. Hits crazy shots, does everything differently, seems charitable outside of golf.

 

He does have a terrible attitude on occasion, but everyone has flaws. I'm not going to kill him for it.

 

The bag/club setup is fascinating

I really want to like the guy. I too have struggled with mental health issues but I just can’t get over the walking contradiction that he is. I have a hard time trying to mesh the over the top bible thumping with the outright abuse he lays on his caddy and other people. You want to bible thump like Ben Crane or 1/2 the other guys on tour, cool. You want to have an attitude and get fired up like Tiger and Pat Perez, cool. You want to talk about Jesus and then drop every four-letter word in the book on your caddy, that’s a problem.

 

His clubs are nice though.

Yes the Redwood is back.

 

I like Bubba too. I’m not sure why you would stamp or etch your name all over everything but that’s how he rolls.

 

For you Bubba haters, John Rahm or Bubba Watson?

 

Great comparison, I am a fan of Bubba and don’t get the hate towards him while at the same time I do not like Rahm one bit for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Interesting. Lol
