Why does everyone say Sabatini is a jerk?

[dmac4g]

Allenby would put on a better gong show. Greg would just tell you how great he is......not was........

Being "kidnapped" entitles him to 20 years of diplomatic immunity on 6 of the 7 continents.

Allenby and Boris Becker can now travel freely and confidently.

[Dfwgolfdude]

I read the player comments about other players. RS is consistently brought up as a Grade A Dbag. I trust them.

[Forged4ever]

Don't forget Robert Allenby.

 

I would have Greg at my dinner table before Allenby.

Absolutely, lol!!!

 

I don’t know what’s worse, gettin rolled like a lil batch or almost decapitating yourself with a power saw??

 

I’ll take the power saw cuz I could turn that into a wild buck came out of the woods and I spun and slipped on the leaves and landed on the saw and still managed to ward off the deranged buck with one arm, lol

 

Plus, gettin Norman buzzed and listening to him rehash the incident, I could ask him if he believed in karma?????

 

Or better yet, askin him about his 1996 Augusta debacle, when even as he fell to the ground following his just missed eagle chip at #15 on Sunday(pictured), he had to have had that sick nauseous feeling when ya see everything happening right in front of you, yet ya can’t believe what’s happening, and there’s not a damn thing that you can do to slow the train as it’s like you’re one step to slow or 6” off.

 

Yeppers, I’d definitely ask Norman if he believes in karma.

 

I kinda doubt it though, lol

 

Those kinda guys always talk about “unlucky breaks,” lmao

 

All the Best to Yours for a ?Very Merry Christmas? and a ?Happy Healthy New Year ?

Any other D1cks on tour?

 

Ive heard stories of Fred Couples being a total d1ck, as well as Lee Trevino, but Lee is my second fave golfer of all time so please nothing bad about him

Yea, Fred’s a dbag, though again, he picks who, where and when to be an arsehole with, much like Greg Norman and contrary to what a few guys thought, I have never based my opinion of him on the fact that he wrote his tele # on a golf ball and gave it to Madison, unsolicited I might add, cuz one, he had no idea that we were dating and two, and Madison will verify this, I’m the least jealous guy she’s ever dated, lol. I based my opinion on three separate incidences at our Club that I’ve posted prior, where he was arrogant rude and & insulting to three different Club employees, one of whom was a Club Icon, a senior locker room attendant, who gave us 62 years of his life and was a Prince.

 

Couples also insulted the Starter, a first year Apprentice and then one of our full-time assistants, both of who are super guys, and the Asst. also out drove Couples on 2/3 drives(they had to be in the FW) off our #1 tee(pictured). There were a bunch of members on the porch, behind and above the tee, and one said “atta boy” when Jamie’s drive rolled about 10yds past couples’ ball.

 

Couples, never said “nice ball,” “nice drive,” nothing and he turned around and said to no one in particular on the porch, “there’s a reason he’s folding shirts for a living and you paid to see me Play.” An older member who I love chirped, “Fred, we didn’t pay a dime to see you hit the ball, nor would I ever,” lol. I was in the locker room at the time though Madison was on the tee cuz she was in the group behind Couples and she said that it sickened her.

 

One of my barometers when I judge someone is how they treat those from “lesser” stations in life, and from what I saw of Couples across 4 years and three situations, he’s a spoiled entitled piece of.......

 

Madison, on the other hand, grew to like him and introduced him to her BFF, also a Pro, and they dated for about year and a half and while she was at her club in LA, she did a public clinic for kids at a park and one day when he was out to see her, he showed up unannounced brought like 10-12 pizzas? for ALL the kids and their parents at the park, not just those at the clinic. While they were eating their za’s, the ice cream truck pulled in and again, Fred bought ice cream for all of the kids/parents in the park, and Maddie’s friend said there were 30-35 peeps counting kids and adults.

 

It was unplanned and I’ll give credit where credit is due, lol. It was a nice gesture. The cynic in me at the time said that Couples did it just to impress Madison’s friend, though Madison reminded me of my own words that why someone does good is irrelevent, only that they do good.

 

I hate it when she throws my own words back in my face??

 

In my eyes it still doesn’t make up for mistreating others when they did absolutely nothing to deserve that treatment.

 

Maybe he’s matured, who knows, lol

 

Or maybe I’ve just softened like Gumby as I age, cuz I even have softened on Norman, and he is unequivocally hands down, the biggest Tour DBag that I’ve ever encountered, lolol.

 

Stay well?

Yet another epic story. Richard, your stories are simply the best.

[Mitchell]

Sabatini was extremely rude to a waitress at Ko'Olina when I was present. Before myself or others at my adjoining table said anything to correct this behavior, her brother, an Offensive lineman for University of Hawaii that was bringing her a birthday present and overheard remark, told Sabatini, "apologize or go to the hospital, bruddah".?Sabatini tried to laugh off comment, when the brother wasn't having it, RS apologized and as we later found out, checked out early and moved to another hotel that afternoon.?

[mocokid]

I was playing with a local pro I know well and do some lessons with. He played 30 some PGA tour events in the early 2000’s. I randomly asked him who the most disliked guy on tour was, and without pause, “Rory Sabbatini without a doubt”.

 

Same answer when Howard Stern asked Jason Dufner the same question in an interview. Dufner didn't think long either.

 

Stern and Duf, that's one interview I'd luv to hear. Did Howard talk about Duf's ex?

[IVM]

Rory Sabatini is from so long ago and so insignificant then !

 

Who is Rory Sabatini !

[PZero]

Any other D1cks on tour?

Kuchar, Scott Piercy, Cantlay, Greg Norman, Michelle Wie, and Bubba can be. McIlroy has his moments. Spieth's caddie Greller is d*ck as well.

[bscinstnct]

Don't forget Robert Allenby.

 

I would have Greg at my dinner table before Allenby.

Absolutely, lol!!!

 

I don't know what's worse, gettin rolled like a lil batch or almost decapitating yourself with a power saw����

 

I'll take the power saw cuz I could turn that into a wild buck came out of the woods and I spun and slipped on the leaves and landed on the saw and still managed to ward off the deranged buck with one arm, lol

Boy, the best part of all this, is Richard storytelling, don’t care what it’s about.

 

Hope you’re well Richard!

[Mitchell]

Sabatini and Greg (Pga43)seem to get along well, not saying anything? just as a random aside?

[LooperCon]

He’s got a real punchable face

[BearQ]

Lol seen too many instances following him at Canadian open alone to refute his jerk status. His playing partners hate playing with him, I’ve seen him have arguments nearly every round...multiple with ken duke of all people. Destroyed a few bunkers after poor shots. Walks ahead of people as they swing. General pissed off I hating being here face. Is that enough?

 

He’s a jerk, it’s not even a debate lol

[BMC]

You guys are relentless. To what end? Late hit on the quarterback Makes you look bad.

[Hawkeye77]

Don't forget Robert Allenby.

 

I would have Greg at my dinner table before Allenby.

 

That's not saying much, Allenby would face plant on your patio after the pre-dinner cocktails!

Well surprise, surprise - OP getting exactly the thread he knew he would be getting.

I've never met the guy but know someone (a very nice guy) who is a friend of his and stays in touch and always has positive things to say. Never met Greller but I believe my friend, have to go with that.

[Oaks]

Cuz he's a jerk ! :wave:

 

Yes he is - I spent 6 hours with him and have nothing good to say about him.

Richard, where you been bro? I was starting to think Madison had locked you in the cupboard with the 8802’s!

 

I remember making a fairly harmless comment to Greg at a Pro Am down here years ago and he said to me, in this faux American accent “I’d like to drop a brick in your heart pal”. I still LMAO when I think of it. Forty years a professional comic and that is still the weirdest s*** I have ever had. Hope you are well mate.
