Nah. Has several hundred weeks at #1 to deserve that callout. The old Sherif set the bar pretty high.

I even think the Deputy Sheriff would agree with that one, even with his new found confidence.

Ohhhh the children !! Goodness. Today’s world will take anyone and make a villain out of them. He’s about as square of a peg as you’ll find. A true nerd In a jocks body. And and people love to hate him. I am not a fan of his. But then more people pile on the more I want to be. You can gauge these situations by how the herd goes. And the herd is usually full of shat.

This just goes to further my point he’s a phony. Running up the cameras smiling, acting like a gee golly ol country boy then repeatedly drops the F bomb for everyone in attendance to hear.

 

Now I don’t care if guys curse on the course but don’t put a facade that you’re a choir boy scientist.

I assure you, my kid has heard and seen worse than this in high school. This is harmless and something to get clicks on a site. This is a good kid still finding his way. Being positive doesn't get as many clicks as bringing about "controversy."

Agreed. BAD pretending to be this analytical thinker is really no different than Rickie Fowler choosing his wardrobe. It's the image he has created to differentiate himself from the crowd. It's made them both very wealthy as well.

That being said he can be very painful to watch, and I would hate playing with him if I were a fellow pro.

Don't be projecting your hate on others.

I’m no defender of Bryson by any means, but why does ones language or seeming lack of concern for kids matter? Athletes aren’t meant to be role models. For those that come back and say, “well kids see that and think it’s ok...etc” be the parent/guardian and say, “hey what’s he’s doing isn’t ok, you shouldn’t do that.”

 

Brysons a weird dude, through friends of mine and my work we’ve crossed paths a couple times and each time I had a slimy feeling talking to him. But if he wants to be a butt inside the ropes than more power to him (swearing or being a jerk).

 

Slow play I’m a little less likely to defend, although that one where he was hitting a shot from way offline...I kinda understand. Most guys have yardages of everything but once you get that far off it’s the old Pythagorean’s theorem or march it off. He’s not the only one who’s slow by any means, but he loses the benefit of the doubt with all the other ancillary stuff and attention that he loses the benefit of the doubt.

You ask why does one language or seeming lack of concern for kids matter? For me, it has nothing to do with being role models. But rather it comes down to simple common decency and a respect for others. People who are being a butt or being a jerk are exhibiting neither.

Hmm interesting take...totally different perspective I hadn’t considered!

These guys just need to shut the thing off.

 

I mean look at them.

 

Can you imagine somebody tweeting some whiny stuff to Arnie.

 

His reply would be to walk over to them and stuff them in their locker ; )

 

Just shut up and play.

 

Right?

 

I mean look at this,

 

“Y’all can say whatever you want, but we’re having a (expletive) awesome time. So screw all y’all haters, no big deal, I still love y’all even though you hate me.”

 

 

If I didn’t know it was a professional athlete, I’d think it was the latest installment in the Taylor Swift vs. Kimye feud.

 

Although...I like that shake it off song/video (don’t tell anyone ; )

 

 

 

 

[yourhonoryourhonor]

It kills me to hear a tour player call out a fellow player for “slow play”. Spent the last couple of days at the BMW, they’re all fu!!!ing slow!

Yeah, but Bryson is just now finishing his first round.

Possibly the truest statement made on the Forum this year.

 

 

[2over]

The point Koepka and the vast majority of tour players are making is there is a rule that says when it's your turn you have 40 seconds to hit the shot. This rule is ridiculously not enforced and the lack of enforcement is making the game brutal to watch for the vast majority of golf fans. To add insult to injury, when players like BD send a screw you message to people asking the rules be enforced and other players be respected that is simply pathetic. Seeing like half the replies on this thread are defending such a selfish, juvenile "screw you" message is beyond bizarre to me and completely irrational.

[MaxBuck]

That's gold, Jerry!

[Titleist 670]

If Bryson wants all the attention that comes with his scientist shtick (which he does, he's on the cover of a golf magazine with the word "genius" on the front with his picture), he also needs to accept the fact that when things don't go well, there's going to be more attention on him. You can't want to be treated like the 700th ranked player in the world when there's something unflattering about you, but lap up the praise when it's heaped on you.

 

He and Matt Kuchar came off as completely phony in their recent incidents because they vehemently defended themselves at first and acted like everything was a non-issue, and five minutes later acted like they completely agreed that what they did was a problem (Kuchar the tipping, Bryson to speed up his play). It's PR spin that people roll their eyes at.

 

I honestly don't believe he feels what he's doing is an issue, which is fine as long as he's actually keeping up pace of play.

 

I've never been a fan of his, but I don't mind having a few personalities on Tour that I dislike because they're more fun to watch than the guys with zero personality if that makes sense. The same goes for almost all sports.

[LeoLeo99]

Jason Day said he wasn't going to speed up his play.

Love me some Bryson. Go root for JT or some other boring guy.

[Need4spd]

I’m no Bryson apologist, not by a long shot, but I kind of got a kick out of the video. I do agree with those who said the term “hater” is way overused though.

[Titleist 670]

> @LeoLeo99 said:

He will have to visualize speeding up his play before he hits, so the net impact would be zero anyway.

LOL,, it's recommended, not a rule. And, the entire field is SLOW.. Slower than what the casual and weekend warrior would deem penalty worthy.

FWIW, I've only heard BD curse a few times, and thats since he has started. Never personally seen him live so I can't corroborate his unacceptably vile behavior that most here support,, or heard from a friend of a friend.

 

And, even the article says his post was tongue and cheek.. Cut the young man some slack..

Defending him self like before when he laid down and said ya brooks would kick my ass? Ya ok

[buckeye440]

I hate slow play but if the tour is not going to do anything why should he? It is not like he is playing 30 minute longer rounds than everybody is it?

[lowheel]

I think Bryson handled it well and admitted he has to do better and will do better.I also like that he went and told Koepkas caddy to have Brooks come see him and tell him in person his criticisms and not run to the media.Lets not pretend slow play started yesterday. He was verbally abused over the last 2 days and his playing partners realized how bad it was and spoke out. As he was about to hit on 18 some clown kept yelling "youre on the clock" to him non stop. Cops removed the guy

Great point. Tough guy Brooks should be saying these things in private first , face to face. Not hiding behind the media.

Wasn't Brooks asked about it? I don't think he ever ran to the media and started trashing Bryson.

 

Brooks saying he could beat up Bryson was tongue in cheek, as was Bryson's remark. They were on a radio show together. They were laughing about it.

[freeze16172002]

its about playing ready golf. he doesnt start the process until its his turn, by that time he should have figured out wind and distance
