Everybody knows that you can't try to win Majors unless you have at least 5 regular tour wins.

You get that a lot when the course is crowded and people from the rear are pushing you to move on...

Nothing is worst than green damage though.....from an irate golfer with his or her golf club.

I've seen people, I won't say golfers...….drive their golf cart across the green...

Possibly he feels like he has a legit shot at one (or more) and wants to maximize his schedule so that he's not worn out, seeming as though they are now a bit more condensed. For a professional player I bet it's nice to have enough status on tour to be able to arrange your schedule the way you want it. That said, if you stop winning you could lose that status, so you better be careful.

I couldn't care less about Tony Finau or you for that matter.....you are entitled to your opinion but not yours AND mine...

Your foolishness is totally exhausting.....

[Titleist99]

You can tell when a poster has nothing to contribute......He turns into the grammar marshal on the first Tee.

Something need to be done about these thread wreckers on this board...

Thread wrecker list:

 

We might have to go to this.

Tongue in cheek my friend... It even had the winking smileyface thingy that all the kids are doing these days.

 

You are aggressively defensive. And are quick to make things personal. tsk tsk.

Well now....went back and checked that out....I guess one of us is just a little thin skinned (ME). Apologies to you, thank goodness I did not put you on the list. LOL!

[Vindog]

And besides, it was like, the 5th tee, which bout the time I loosen up, so.

Never mind.....I was just a little thin skinned.....can't say that it will never happen again though......LOL!

[Titleist99]

Another thing that slightly annoy me about golf is the lack of marshals on the golf course. The ones that are there either don't move the play along or they are overbearing.

[jonsnow]

The continuum of vexation:

1. Couldn't care less

2. Thin skinned

3. Slightly annoyed

4. Annoyed

5. Mildly perturbed

6. Perturbed

7. Slightly irritated

8. Irritated

9. Aggressively defensive

10. Rubbed the wrong way

11. Exhausted

12. Irked

 

[nichho]

This thread is a disaster. 44 posts and nearly 50% of them are from the OP.

Ladies and gents.....you heard it from the official thread counter on this board.....it must mean something..... he has nothing to add but he couldn't stop himself from commenting,,,

[braincramp52]

OP, not sure what you expected. Started a thread that only had one way to go. Downwards. You can't tell me you didn't know the responses you'd get when you started it. And then you get defensive about it.

[nichho]

Something else that irks me. With the old ignore button the irritants posts completely disappeared, with the new system they are grayed out but still visible rendering the process pointless.

I have no idea what you're talking about...… It's silly to me that adults think that their opinion is the only one that matter. I post a thread and get childish responds yet you think that I should have foreseen that....I don't get it.

Please enlighten me....

Does that irk you?

I can’t believe people are allowed to use public restrooms before I need one to concentrate on a major.

Don't go to Seminole then

[Maximilian]

I like this thread and would like to join in. I’m not sure what to say or who’s side I’m on, I just really want to be a part of it.

 

Hope that doesn’t offend anyone.

You obviously haven't seen the results from threads like "forged or cast", "blades or shovels", or "am I the only one" threads. They do nothing but get into peeing matches.

 

 

[Big Ben]

Tour Pros are independent contractors. Winning majors is how the best players are judged AND paid. He has positioned himself as a player who has the game to win one.

I see what you are saying....you have to know who and what you're dealing with.
