Bubba Watson WITB shot at the 2015 PGA Championship

[Gnomesteel]

Eh, loving and hating athletes is part of the fun. Don't take it personally.

[Dan Drake]

While I agree (and so does Bubba) that he needs to work on how he reacts towards his caddie, Ted is still his caddie. That tells me that he and Ted have an understanding that goes pretty deep and Ted doesn't let it affect him nearly as much as it obviously has affected some commentators and TV viewers.

As far as buttoning his top button, "C'mon man".

No chocolate covered "ants" or a bag of cheese to go with the whine in sight...........

He is one of the more interesting characters on tour. At least the guy has a personality and isn't as generic as most of the "pure bred" American golfers on tour. Love em or hate em, he's good for the game regardless of our empty perceptions.

And I gladly caddy for Bubba, I'm sure most of us put up with way more s*** than Ted does for way less salary.

What finish is his putter?

Torched and not available to the public.

He flies everywhere with Bubba on the private jet, get's paid a LOT, they appear to be good friends...............I'd suspect he's pretty happy and not looking for a new job.

The Bubba hate is ridiculous! Lots of great athletes are a*******. Doesn't make me any less of a fan.

Felt the same way about Jack Nicklaus and Fuzzy Zoeller (fellow golfers). Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan in basketball, etc...

The most original player on Tour. Hard not to love the feel players or shotmakers like Bubba and Shane Lowry. I've never been a mechanical player. The shots that he attempts and pulls off all the time are a thing of beauty. I really admire that. It's not just about being Bubba Long.

What an awesome bag! Love the new Wahoos headcover. As a baseball fanatic I lthink it's cool that he just bought a minor league team too.

Definitely one of my favorite players on Tour. If Spieth or DJ can't win this week I'd love to see him get some Whistling Straits PGA payback.

Don't get me wrong, he is a awesome shot maker. But he treats his caddy like garbage(I was at the travelers for his most memorable blow up) and buttons his top button on all of his golf shirts like a stiff. My friend also informed me that in a picture on Instagram of a bunch of tour guys on their way to the PGA Championship (on a plane I believe), everyone was wearing their normal clothes. There was Gerry, still wearing his "Look at me" Oakley apparel.

Things like that are why I don't like him.

You dont like a guy because he buttons his top button and because he was wearing "look at me" Oakley clothes.... on a private plane ride?

Lol good god man, What the hell are you talking about?

His demeanor...on top of the way he has treated his caddy and fans in the past.

Interesting how you (and others) are upset on how you perceive that he treats Ted poorly and yet it doesn't bother Ted at all. He must know something you all don't know (and believe me it doesn't have to do with how much he is being paid).

Sure Bubba has made mistakes in the past but I will say this, he has grown up/changed a lot since they adopted the two kids.

As a side note, I button the top button on my golf shirts, all the time and have done this since 1980. I also travel wearing my GolfWRX.com apparel so I guess I'm on your list of people you don't like.

Where else or in what other occupation could Ted Scott make the living he is making now carrying Bubbas golf clubs? Sorry, but hedge funds and I-Bank recruiters aren't exactly jumping at the chance to hire a guy with little education and whose only work experience is carrying a golf bag.

[bladehunter]

Didn't Duval button his top button? All bubba needs are the Oakley terminator shades.

People would explode if they were this sensitive to these things and watched how me and my friends talk to one another.
