Your most unpopular Golf opinions?


BarrySanders

Recommended Posts

If you took a poll, over 50 percent of people would be against your opinion. Mine:

1. There is nothing wrong with courses discriminating on who plays on their courses

2. Fat and non muscular golfers that win are bad for golf

3. There is nothing to be proud of when you shoot well with game improvement or most graphite irons.

4. Every single golf advertisement is worthless. If they affect you purchases, you are naive

5. 99.99 percent of the time you don't average X score, you don't average Y driving distance, and you didn't Pick your head up

The use of the term “golfing” makes you less of a human

I’d rather walk, thank you. Stop offering the passenger side of the cart. If I wanted a cart, I would be in one.

Love to compete, but sometimes I’d just like to drink and shoot 80...ish

The thrill of a new club or set is often times diminished by actually hitting them.

- The hole should be increased to a size where nearly everyone feels safe leaving the pin in at all times. This could also help with damage to the hole when players retrieve their ball with the pin in.

- I would say fairway divot relief but you did say where 50% of people would be againt the opinion so I am of the opinion it would not qualify.

- What tee box a player can play should have nothing to do with age or gender

- Using descriptions such as 'mens' , 'womens' or 'senior' tees should be abolished

I totally agree with the last couple.

 

I would only point out that virtually all the courses I've gone to lately use color as a designation for their tees so the players can see which tees correspond to which course/slope ratings on the scorecard.

 

I can't think of the last time I went to a course and actually saw the words "senior tees" or "ladies tees" printed on the scorecard. I think courses have been very progressive about getting rid of those terms. So technically, the don't really exist in most places (where I've been).

 

I think it's more an issue with there being a stigma and that fact those phrases are part of the common vernacular of players.

 

But in spirit, I totally agree. I will sometimes play the red (forward) tees as I walk 9 holes after work just to focus in on my iron game. Sometimes it's better to do that than to go to the range and beat balls.

* Wearing an OEM's golf hat makes you look like a berk

* If you wear shorts to golf, you should have to wear knee-high socks

* The woman golfer in a mixed pair is almost always the nicer person

* People who say Spyglass is better than Pebble don't really believe it and just want to seem clever

Most of you people have reasonable opinions. Wasn't the point of the thread to have unpopular opinions? Things you are ashamed to say out loud?

The OP started out well, most people I know dislike discrimination and love it when the fat guy wins, but then he goes on to say that golf equipment ads lies and golfers tend to overestimate their abilities. So? Did anyone ever think otherwise?

Hey chopper, what are you hitting there?
Callaway Rouge Sub Zero 9°
TM SLDR S 17° 4-wood
Mizuno MP Fli-Hi 21° driving iron

Dynacraft (?) 24° 4-iron
Titleist AP2 710 5-pw
Wilson FG Tour PMP 52, 56, 60­°
Rife 460 Tour Blade

After how long does being "out of form" turn into "a bad golfer"?

The whole macho “no laying up” bro culture of golf sucks and is bad for growing the game.

 

The only reason everyone should have a handicap is so courses could enforce playing from the proper tees - playing from the wrong tees is absolutely a cause for slow play.

 

Just once I’d like to see a dude working the beverage cart and a girl driving the range ball cart or a mower.

Just a few for me:

1. 5-somes should never be allowed at anytime

2. Walkers shouldn't be allowed to tee off before noon

3. People who pay more that $350 for 18 holes anywhere are crazy

I mean, supporting a couple of scratch or better golfers who have more name recognition amongst the general populace than anyone but Tiger seems like a terrible way to support the game of golf...

Peter Jacobsen is an AH.

 

Rich Lerner is why the mute button was invented.

 

WTF is up with Feherty's hair and sideburns?

 

Jimmy Roberts need to stick to...um what does he do?

 

I don't find Paige Spiranac attractive in the least.

 

If the Solheim Cup is supposed to be the epitome of Women's Team Golf, why don't they have the best players in the world playing?

 

Lanny Watkins used to be great until he started uttering the phrase Billy Ray...Billy Ray. Reminds me of Tattoo on Fantasy Island.

 

I'd like to attend a meeting of Nick Faldo's ex wives.

 

John Daly is a waste of talent and I hope he doesn't mess his kid up.

 

Renee Russo was terrible in Tin Cup but awesome in the Thomas Crown Affair.
