Hey he's earned it. Guy's completely talented at what he does--everything he does is a hit. Plus he's a star. And he likes golf. Where's the problem?

Justin Bieber and One Direction turn crap to gold, too, doesn't mean they aren't terrible in every sense.

Kronik's got it straight. If you think KR is a 'complete' musical talent you have a very skewed frame of reference. He's an entrepreneur (a fine one at that), but let's not get carried away with how gifted he is on the geetar.

This is not a matter of musical taste, btw.

ANYWAY, happy to hear that he supports his community. Hope he has fun this weekend.

This guy is the biggest ****** on the planet. My mom grew up with him. He's from my hometown and not a single person there has a good thing to say about him.
[/quote]

He maybe an a** but i respect what he does for the troops and his generosity. That shaft is legit BTW!
[/quote]Couldn't agree more!!

My Father is a retired SEAL and The Kid wrote a personal check out after a benefit concert to the "Tip Of The Spear Foundation"

A very substancial check-

He stayed an extra day, paying his people out of his pocket, along with making a donation to the local parks commission of $15,000, when the fee for the park rental was $2500, to put on a second concert, of which, again, all of the $$ raised went to the Foundation, $44, 000 and change.

No, He may have been an @sshole as a kid, and hell, he may still be one, but he stepped up to the plate, and he delivered.

In our society today, that's rare.

Hat's off to The Kid!

And those are kick @ss shafts

Yes, I'd like to hear more about these Golfwrx poker chips.

I have done a few charity events with Bob and he's a legit good guy, he's also super smart and a shrewd business man. Certainly a case of not judging a person based on appearance.

[Bubb]

I'm a big Kid Rock fan. Devil Without a Cause has some real classics on it. I also like that he's a big fan of David Allan Coe, as am I. Happy to see he caught the golf bug. The guy seems like he'd be a blast to hang out with.

Love the logo on the Tour Blue. He is quality. Glasd this was up here today well done WRX

it's amazing how people trash on others... but especially celebs whose parents allegedly grew up with them.... I know someone has to, but to say no one has a good thing to say about the man is a stretch... yet you are entitled to your own opinion.
I believe KR has a brewery in Michigan and I believe KR employs many people in a city where jobs are scarce and hope is even scarcer. If everyone were judged by what they did 20+ years ago we'd all be labeled a-holes etc....
I'm sorry KR turned your mom down for the prom but tell her to move on....

my mom had nothing to do with him, i was stating that she knew him. people on this site can't read

Saw Kid Rock 3 times in the D. Great concerts. He stands up for Detroit, give him credit. Been to Detroit many times. Great city, but lets remember were all on this site because we love the game of golf. Forget about his music love or hate it and remember that he is playing in front of millions of people and is willing to put it all out there . I for one hope he has a great experience and Ill be pulling for the guy. Good Luck Kid !!!!!!!!!!!

[smooothone23]

Those shafts are sweet. Be awesome to have one for the wall!

Hilarious!That's probably why this guy's mom doesn't like him. But seriously, why would this guy think anyone on this site would care about his mom's opinion of Kid Rock? We're here to talk about golf related topics--not his mom's impression of Kid Rock back in the 7th grade.
[/quote]

i was giving my insight as to what a jackass this guy really is.
[/quote]LMAO, yea, ok

Thanx for the insight

I saw Kid Rock open for Aerosmith when his Devil Without a Cause cd came out (Kid Rock stole the show that night!). I was instantly hooked on him. Great performer and entertainer. I can see why people wouldn't like him when he first hit mainstream with his appearance of trying to be a pimp/whatever. He has grown quite a bit and seems lie he would be a really cool dude to shoot the crap with.

[sharkiesj]

Love Kid Rock. Glad he's playing at PB. Just one thing Kid, if you're gonna pop in here and take a look at this thread.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever disrespect the full TM bag/equipment , custom shaft labels and such........by wearing Nike shoes.

Adidas KR.....Adidas.

I've had to remove a couple of posts. Please stay within our forum rules and on topic.

Thank you.

It's not surprising to find out that Kid Suck plays TMAG.

I agree. Devil Without a Cause is one of the best rock albums I've ever heard. His contribution to rock and roll with that one record alone gives him a lifetime pass to be a rock star, in my opinion.

[JanKo]

That custom Aldila surely looks sweet.

Kid Rock might be an improvement on Bill Murray. Spoils this tournament for me every year. A good actor though. Just terrible in public.

Edit - just seen, Murray isn't there this year. Good.
[/quote] Got to agree with you on Bill Murray good actor in films etc. but he gets on my nerves in this tournament every year at times I have switched channels because they were spotlighting him too much.
Kid Rock This is one old fart that likes him and his music and his good contributions to the troops and society in general. goes to show you that you don't have to be a product of the South to be a redneck. I say redneck in a positive way because I myself am proud to be a redneck. Glad to see he has taken up golf

[Zach Heusser]

IMO he's a great add to the tournament. I hope he plays well and gets some airtime.

[toddba11]

If you see him live in concert you will see that he definitely exhibits good athleticism on stage in his shows and is a very talented guy. I think he would make a great golfer. Good luck to The Rock!

Find Greg at an event, he'll give you one if you introduce yourself as a WRX member. He's a great guy! His 2014 schedule is around somewhere, a quick search should turn it up.

Yeah, because people don't change in 30 years do they? Sigh. Quality shafts, those things are bad a**!

Can't wait to see how he handles the range workouts with HH. Too many late nights...

Talked with Kid today (and gave him a GolfWRX poker chip). He said a buddy of his told him about GolfWRX and the Kid Rock thread.

Boy, I hope he doesn't pop in to read this thread. Probably be a quick GolfWRX membership stint for 'ole Bob Ritchie. Kid Rock is good for golf, whether you want to believe it or not or admit it, everyone. I can't claim to be a huge fan of his music, though there's been a few good ones over the years (his first mainstream album was kick a$$). I can guarantee I would have a blast with him on the course. Seems like he falls under my category of "guys I'd like to have a beer with". As for the guy who's mom got turned down (or turned out), er, I mean treated bad by him in junior high or whatever- stop. Just stop. I'd add my $.02 and tell you what is wrong with sharing that story, but the fact that I'd have to do so and share personal anecdotes about why it's not a good idea tells me that you're probably too young to get it anyways if anyone did try. Basically, you're mom's not perfect, and just because she has something bad to say about a guy who is now a mega celebrity doesn't make him actually a bad guy. Nor does it make your mom a liar or bad person. It just means she shared her version of the story with you, her offspring that is expected to be on her side. Laugh when she makes the reference, share it with your buddies at happy hour, but don't come into a internet chat forum with this many perfect strangers and think it's cool to call someone names or try to soil their reputation based on your mom's personal story about him from 30 years ago with absolutely no context.
[/quote]I realize that this is not germaine to The Kid, however THIS is a GREAT post-

And GI, Thank You for your Service & your Sacrifice-

May God Bless Bro

Have a Great Season-

The guy who referenced his mom's dislike for Kid is the reason GolfWRX needs a "dislike" button

How is this post still here? What Mod that reads this does not immediately take this down?

[PJ72]

If that were the end of his backswing, he'd be in pretty good shape!

 

 

I was just thinking that. What a great position! Pity that's only about half way!
