Matsuyama reaction after every shot annoying

[mguhler]

He's a witch!

[ChillyDipper]

Side note, that squeaky video posted above. Never realized how hard he comes through the ball or the crisp sound of contact. Wow.

 

Yeah. Dude brings it. He's a meaty guy. Lots of power there.

 

And those legs.... There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe those legs...

[masamitsu]

And learn to speak American if your gonna play in 'Mercia!

 

Also Justin Rose's sunglasses are stupid looking.

 

Keegan Bradley needs to wear actual golf shoes.

 

Andrew Johnston needs to shave.

 

No complaints with Adam Scott, he's dreamy.

 

He's is learning English and from what I understand he speaks fairly well in normal conversation. However, when addressing the media he's not quite comfortable yet. There is a lot slang, jargon etc in the English language, the doesn't want to misuse it and offend anyone. Again, this is just my understanding.

[Ajit]

Excellent player but he is very slow and his over the top reactions to decent shots have become tiresome. Very much a case of too much #TourSauce.

[bladehunter]

I love his response. He expects to hole everything or land every drive in a predetermined spot the size of a dime. When he misses he isn't happy. Same for us all. His miss just is smaller than the ops. That's all.

Looking at the way he comes out of those swings way left and off balance, I can hardly blame him for being frustrated.

 

Bad shots on tour are a lot different than bad shots for me, well maybe except for Phil.

Like my bad shots, they usually end up in chip-in eagles. Just like Phil. True story. :cheesy:

[ldgriff07]

I'll agree that his misses are going to be smaller than a lot of ours, but his reactions to misses that are 15ft right or left are way more outlandish than other tour pros when they miss 30 ft right or left. He wants perfection, unfortunately golf is a game where that's unachievable. What gets me more about him though is his very slow and meticulous play.

Pretty sure the post you quoted was being sarcastic about the recent threads started by people complaining about some players' idiosyncrasies. Your point about Matsuyama is right though, he's learning English as best he can and I don't like it when people think there's something amiss that he hasn't become proficient enough to speak it comfortably. It's not like he's trying to piss off Western audiences.

[J13]

I agree. I like HIdeki but the one hand club thing when the ball is in the center of the fairway or 2 ft from the cup has to stop. I play with a lot of college D1 players and 80% of them do the same thing. When i ask about the dramatic release of the club they say the same thing "didn't catch it flush". I then say to them "you'll never make it in golf if you have to react to every shot that isn't flushed." They then look at me like i have 4 heads.

 

Obviously Hideki has made it in golf but if he holds himself to some impossible standard he is in for bitter disappointment with his career in golf.

[Burglar]

Does every player get a hate thread when they start winning?

[cwglum]

Exactly, for all the flack others take ... can't believe the announcers aren't shelling this guy. He stands over the ball for an eternity on every single shot.

[Vindog]

I'd say "you must be new here" but I see that's not the case.

 

So the short answer, is yes. But the reality is, they don't even have to win.

Great point. I apologize to Drudersh for not picking up on that.

[QMany]

I tend to find it entertaining, it doesn't bother me at all.

[CEPick]

He smashed that bug though!!

[Hawkeye77]

If they haven't gotten several already - then they just intensify.

 

I remember the good old 80s and early 90s when we were told golfers were too boring, plain vanilla, no reactions. I guarantee the same people ragging on Matsuyama, Spieth, whomever would have railed against Seve's individual theatrics and attitude had there been internet forums.

WoW, a powerful meaty Dude with incredible legs who's list of superlatives defies the English language that brings it!!!

 

I'm gettin all tingly and feel a man-crush comin on?

I was sitting at the table last season after the guys got in and there was a DII college kid from Fla and his father had backed him in the Vegas swat that was Played that day(we laughed at the lil bois who's daddies backed them cuz trust me, the air is a lot thinner when it's YOUR $1400 riding on this next 8' putt ;) ) cuz he wanted him to have the experience and pressures of a money game. I told his father him backin the kid basically taught him nothing other than daddy would always be there to clean up his garbage. I equated him payin his son's losses(his daddy handed Nathan Smith an $1800 check, lmao) was akin to being able to "tap out" in a bar fight.

 

His father, in a sky blue polo golf shirt, pastel yellow chinos and AE Pennies with no socks, looked at me like "WTF," LMAO

 

Anywho, he has this diva theatrical act down to Tour level and said the same thing as your Bois said Nathan, who is THE Classiest and Nicest Am that I've met in my 49 years in the game, informed him that Hogan hit 3 "flushed" per round, TOPS, and that Nathan, who skinned this kid alive this day with 5 birds and an eagle, had hit what he considered 3 "flushed" shots, lol

 

Kids?

 

Stay well my Friend,

so how is that theory working for you ? think about it .. Hideki is doing pretty well isn't he ?

 

 

I

agree with you for the most part... but I understand where he is coming from .... you try to hit a shot to a spot and you want it to spin right or left.. ive hit plenty that are middle of the green pin high that I dodnt catch right to feed to the hole and been pissed about it ... and certain playing partners cant understand it ... saying " your pin high on the green "... yes but that miss is just as big as the one you just pushed into the bunker and are mad about... same same ...

No worries my friend. I thought the Adam Scott dreamy line would make it pretty clear but perhaps not. While my wife thinks Adam Scott is super dreamy, I only think his golf swing is dreamy. Like if he asked me to hang out I'd say yes obviously, but only for something super manly like hunting or deep sea fishing or noodling for catfish.

[cvhookem63]

Despite all the backlash in this thread, I see where you are coming from OP, but I may have worded it a little differently.

 

There is no question that Hideki leads the field every week in one handed follow-throughs that end up 6 feet from the hole (or 325 down the middle of the fairway.) I wouldn't say it has made me dislike him - his is a great player - but there have been plenty of times I have seen his reaction to a shot that ended up being a great shot and it make me shake my head and chuckle.

[WHC888]

his reaction after some of the shots is based on how he felt when he strikes the ball and maybe the initial flight of the ball, not the end result.

we all have hit some slightly thin or fat shot but it turned out to be a "good" shot.

you sound like my childhood friend...She's into big chunky legs on guys lol...disqualifies me immediately

[Forged4ever]

Look, the kid's obviously a perfectionist and I doubt that, unlike a lot of these HS and college bois, it's an act, and who can say what his feelings are or will be now, five years down the road or twenty years from now. We all have different types of fires that fuel us and those who perform at Hideki's level have a different type AND intensity. Hey, no one was harder on themselves than Curtis, and say what ya will, there is no one on this board whose has achieved what he has, so let's keep the chirping to a whisper please?

 

Boi, I can be a dick when they're late with my meds, huh, LMAO ?

 

I'm just joshin, Hideki's gonna flame out ?In the next 2-3 years

 

Have a great weekend Gents and please remember my tip 'o the day~

 

Don't EVER put your iron in the bag when there's a guy coming at you gripping his like a baseball bat?

 

You're welcome?

 

My Best,

[proguy]

I followed his group today and it was disgusting how long he takes on every shot. We had to move as it was a problem and the group behind was on their tail. The guy would not pull out his book or look at the shot until it was his turn. Slow play is ruining the game of golf and the ratings prove it.

 

Ratings? There was no sense of anyone playing slow while watching, except for Day agonizing over a couple putts, and no suggestion his group was out of position. Missed the whole disgusting part of the golf yesterday and if an extraordinary amount of time was taken it wasn't being shown on TV in a way that would have affected ratings.

 

Thursday they show everyone because there are no clear leaders. Thurs & Fri have twice as many golfers to watch then on the weekend. Weekends are painfully slow and again it is hurting the ratings!

[sailfishchris]

I heard from a guy who works at Baskin Robbins, who spoke to a guy, who knows a guy that once saw Hideki at a Hobby Lobby. Hideki doesn't care....at least that's what I heard.

That's true. There's always some righteous indignation about something. Just expect it. :)

I think that's a production issue. If the network is showing enough golf vs. ads and keeping things moving because there are plenty of golf shots available to show. And they really don't show twice as many on Thursday and Friday, it's the usual suspects and the leaders. Yesterday they go to Sam Saunders "cleaning up" with the first guy making the call not even noticing he was putting for birdie to take the lead. He got the short end of the stick and he was in the mix. Only thing killing ratings is Tiger's back, otherwise they kind of are what they are. Networks need better presentation, IMO.

haha.. I was being sarcastic by the way. The commentators can't seem to get over those "tree trunk thighs" of his.

Re-occurring thread.

 

Just change player!

 

Spieth...

Bubba...

Tiger...

Goosen...

Furyk...

Matsuyama...

 

The beat goes on!!

 

Yep. Every time a player enters the top 5 in WR .... everyone starts to voice their opinion about every insignificant little detail. Funny how no one brings up these issues with the journeyman (women) who miss cuts. Explains Tiger's behavior.
