Bubba's behavior, DISSAPOINTING

[joey2aces]

[quote name='Splitter' timestamp='1401727241' post='9414349']
If you try to pet a dog behind a fence and it bites you, should you be mad at yourself or the dog?

Bubba has shown himself to be narcissistic and unstable on more than one occasion. I genuinely believe he has issues that most of us don't understand. Giving away money doesn't change those issues.

After all the evidence, expecting more out of him is our fault.

If I see him coming my way with the kids, I say "give it a shot, but he's not right in the head, so it may not go well".

If it doesn't go well, it's a learning experience.

If it does go well, they have something to sell on ebay. .

funny how you can replace 'Bubba' with any name on here.... like, 'Tiger'.

There's a 'cheese and whine' joke in there somewhere.

[BreakingPar]

I am a fan of Bubba, but things like this chip away at that

Honest question though: what do people do with autographs? I've never understood that...

[monkeynaut]

I'm sorry.

But I'm confused.

Anonymous people with less than a dozen posts created threads... nay CHAINS of oppression.

Well, sirs, that is wrong!

It is unjust to sentence him to the virtual slings and arrows of an unruly mob.

Bubba has the Right to sign or not sign anything he does or does not choose to for anybody he wishes or does not wish.

This guy is so hit or miss with me. Some of the things about him I love. Like when he came out to watch the kids at Drive, Chip, and Putt at the Masters, and the $90k he donated to his old Elementary, Middle, and High Schools after the Masters. However, his attitude seems to be a big problem. I watched the Fehrety show with him and I found myself just hating everything that he was coming out of his mouth. He sat there arms folded and smug the entire time. Dropping that his watch costs $500k. Then the stuff I've seen on tv blaming his caddie for just about everything and now this. I don't know if he is diagnosed as a bipolar but he certainly has all the symptoms.

I'm a bit torn on this as I myself am a hothead and that includes on the course. I have bad days at work where I am very short with others and I also do it to people in my personal life. I'm not a peach to deal with to say the least. I rarely berate someone and in the few times in the last 5 years that I have I've felt terrible and have apologized almost immediately. What I have not done either on a golf course or in other facets of life is berate someone blaming them for my misfortune or screw up.

I understand Bubba Watson because as stated above I have been the guy who has looked out at the rest of the world telling myself that they can't see that I'm not a bad guy and I just get down sometimes. The problem with that is they cannot see your intentions and lack of self control the way you do. Maybe we rationalize it or maybe we just see that we don't mean bad and our emotions overtake us, but it's not acceptable.

My biggest problem with Bubba Watson regarding this subject is blaming others or implying they have something to do with his bad play. The real reason he was pissed off on 18 on Friday is because he hit a bad shot into the green, short sided himself with little chance of saving par. He then took it out on someone behind him who had nothing to do with that shot. He used that person as a scapegoat, stared him down all the way as he walked to the scorer's tent as if he wanted to fight that person and then put on the good show for the interview where he again spoke of being a changed man. For that reason and that alone he's a fraud to me. This is about as much time as I'll allow myself to waste on him.

this is a very good and honest post.....and I can identify with it....I myself have a temper that I would describe as either on or off...Meaning I can take a whole lot and wont be even a bit ill, angry or distracted ( not just golf but anytime) but at a moments notice ill boil over and see red ...sometimes literally see red...No im not the guy whos abusing the dog ( love my animals) or my wife ( love her too;) ) but have been known to throw down what im doing or walk away from whomever im speaking too or hang the phone up unexpected just to "escape" the situation before I do or say something bad....In 15 min or so im ok....I can think again and will approach the situation with a clear head, cool head and a solution of some sort....that's why I love to walk in golf..,.time between shots to cool off...talk to myself (yes that's the best conversation you can ever have) and get ready for the next shot...cant do that in a cart...you have to pay attention to driving etc and it gets to the ball quicker.
I wonder if bubba suffers from the same temper , and simply cant escape it on the course? Im not trying to take up for him just playing head doctor for a moment to try to understand it... My thoughts are my policy of "escaping the situation" is much better for all involved than if I stood and screamed and cursed for 15 min..yes?
if you do not have a temper and aren't a driven type A individual you may not get it...but its always a fine line between greatness and insanity....always has been for anyone who is "great": at anything....

Just because he's not doing anything illegal, doesn't make people think he's not a tool if he continues to act that way.

[Lefty_3Jack]

Unfortunately, he chooses to speak and there are microphones around. The real unfortunate thing is we all are asking that he be like Marshawn Lynch and just "not say anything at all" if it is bad, but we'd hate that too (well you would, I'd admire it). I have a lot of respect for guys who choose just not to speak because it takes more than what flapping off when you're pissed off does.

[North Texas]

This is from the LPGA thread from some guy who attended the Shoprite tournament. Interesting contrast to say the least.

[i]This was my first tournament with my daughter who is 5 years old and I was a little cautious with taking her as she is a little young for all the walking. But, she had a blast and even made some new "friends" on the course. She remained quiet and still whenever the ladies were playing and I can not say enough about how well she was treated by the players and caddies. [u][u]SO[/u][/u] many stopped to talk to her and several gave her balls/tees throughout the afternoon on Friday. It was an amazing experience. The players interactions were priceless. [/i]

[Pepperturbo]

Always amazes me, just how entitled and judgmental some people are, even when it doesn't happen to them. They complain, yet never in their lives have they had to contend with people wanting this or that from them while they are at work, trying to find a way to concentrate, no less cope with ADD. NO one player can accommodate all wishes. Worse yet, that Jack N. said anything. During Jack's day, he hardly spoke to anyone, nor has he signed much anything unless he was getting a piece of the action. He should be ashamed of himself.

PS: Many tour golfers get tied into charity events or hold their own and seek attention. Bubba, for the most part, keeps his 'giving back' quiet. He's a man that does what's right, when no one is looking. Can't say that about Jack N or many other tour players.

[tbowles411]

Wow. I'm entertained in this thread now! There's so much information I'm putting away for a later date...

[Shiram]

I play with a guy who is hypersensitive to sounds/noise. He can hear a butterfly fart three fairways over. Even though it bothers him when golfers on other holes say something or yell 'great shot' during his swing, he recognizes that the issue is his.

As for signing autographs during a round. Hey, some golfers do it and others don't. We don't expect basketball/football players to sign autographs between plays.

Let's look at what a simple search "Bubba Watson's behavior" net us:

http://www.pga.com/news/pga-tour/bubba-watsons-bad-week-in-france-offers-big-lesson-about-fame-foreign-tours - managed to show utter disrespect in Europe and ended up having to apologize publicly albeit via online social media

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/bubba-watson-lose-fans-travelers-championship-antics-215800223.html - nice commentary about his bad attitude towards his caddie

http://www.cbssports.com/golf/eye-on-golf/24560335/bubba-watson-once-missed-a-green-on-purpose-to-make-a-point - intentionally misses a green to prove a point?

http://www.sportsgrid.com/golf/not-everyone-thrilled-with-bubba-being-gay-is-a-sin-watsons-masters-win/ - the headline says it all

Now granted, if you do a search for many other athletes bad things will come up. But it would seem that Bubba has been an arse for years, has not matured at all, and if anything his recent behavior in Ohio says his money and his wins have made him worse.

He's in for a fall. Not a matter of if but when and how far. And I, for one, will not miss him.

The OP was pretty clear that it was a girl by herself asking for an autograph. Bubba decided to be rude about it.

And please, get out of here with this "we've never had to be in Bubba's shoes" talk. Give me however many million per year he makes and I'd be just fine. I bet he wouldn't last 10 days at my job, if that. He thinks a seven year old asking for an autograph on a bad day is rough? He'd have one client asking for a report on a "bad day", snap at them, and be immediately fired at my office. I don't get "bad days" where I get to be rude to clients and co-workers, nor would I.

Nobody expects the tour pros to sign EVERY autograph, but to flat out tell a seven year old girl you're not signing because you're playing bad is just childish.

I've seen some tour pros refuse to sign autographs, but they usually say "hey, hit me after the round that's when I'll be signing" and it's no big deal.

Of course, there is a middle ground where a parent neither shields the child from some of life's experience nor overprotects them from ever experiencing pain. I'd like to think that's where most of the good parenting takes place.

Pepperturbo, I'm guessing, feels that the overprotected kids in CA are a casualty of people with a 'soft' political persuasion. This has not been my experience as a full-time parent 'out in the field', so to speak. I've seen many lefties and righties pamper their kids to the max, sometimes preventing them from learning some valuable insights about what it is to be human and live in a society.

I'm sure you were trying to make a point. Just not sure what it is. I never said the hits I posted were the top hits. But they were on the first two pages - most of the first one.

As many post as you have here and as long as you have been a member one would think your replies would somehow add at least some value to the thread. Sadly you seem to be too busy defending a millionaire with a poor attitude towards others for some reason. Fortunately this forum has a wonderful block feature. Adding you now......

Always amazes me, just how entitled and judgmental some people are, even when it doesn't happen to them. They complain, yet never in their lives have they had to contend with people wanting this or that from them while they are at work, trying to find a way to concentrate, no less cope with ADD. NO one player can accommodate all wishes. Worse yet, that Jack N. said anything. During Jack's day, he hardly spoke to anyone, nor has he signed much anything unless he was getting a piece of the action. He should be ashamed of himself.

PS: Many tour golfers get tied into charity events or hold their own and seek attention. Bubba, for the most part, keeps his 'giving back' quiet. He's a man that does what's right, when no one is looking. Can't say that about Jack N or many other tour players.

The OP was pretty clear that it was a girl by herself asking for an autograph. Bubba decided to be rude about it.

And please, get out of here with this "we've never had to be in Bubba's shoes" talk. Give me however many million per year he makes and I'd be just fine. I bet he wouldn't last 10 days at my job, if that. He thinks a seven year old asking for an autograph on a bad day is rough? He'd have one client asking for a report on a "bad day", snap at them, and be immediately fired at my office. I don't get "bad days" where I get to be rude to clients and co-workers, nor would I.

Nobody expects the tour pros to sign EVERY autograph, but to flat out tell a seven year old girl you're not signing because you're playing bad is just childish.

I've seen some tour pros refuse to sign autographs, but they usually say "hey, hit me after the round that's when I'll be signing" and it's no big deal.

I don't know the OP, so naturally question his account. Heck it wasn't even his little girl, but supposedly someone else's little girl. Yet, he's targeting Bubba as a bad person here.

You call it rude for his saying no, and many believe the OP's account of events. I call it keeping his sanity while at work. Even if the account was somewhat accurate, taking one event out of context, because it was a little girl is wrong. I wouldn't put it past that littler girls father for putting his little girl up to asking. Maybe he was dogging Bubba for a signature too; we don't know. Look, the only reason I support Bubba's actions is I put them in perspective of the rest of his life, and don't make mountains out of mole hills, which seems to be the prevailing wind here.
