Reed - Stay Classy

[toc]

Was that his final hole of the day? If so I’m thoroughly not impressed. Front 9 club breakage is the only club breakage that moves the needle for me.

[sekrah]

Literally hundreds of professional golfers have snapped clubs or thrown them on live TV, including the legend that most of the world re-fell in love with at the Masters. Big whoop. I was impressed by his strength tbh,

[ironcat]

Would much rather see a player do this than someone like Brooks who doesn't seem to really care whether he makes triple bogey or wins a major.

[Pent08]

Of all the things I don't like about Reed, and there are many, I actually liked this. Golf is frustrating, clubs get punished.

[HackerD]

These guys are role models for youth golfers and this is not behavior that should be condoned.

[ThinkingPlus]

Impressed with how well the 2nd wedge performed. The consequences of failure were clear and visceral.

[Lagavulin62]

The club is already re shafted and it cost him nothing financially. So all it was was a stupid display of childishness. All he had to do was swipe the wedge a bit at the grass for the same effect. It’s embarrassing to people with class. Not him though, nor Fox. They are already showing it again and again. And when the tournament is over and some Jim Nantz overly dramatic holier than thou type composes the week in review segment, no doubt this will be included along with the fake tear jerking takes. Thats modern TV for you. Pathetic as a word banned on this forum.

Reed isn’t European, so it’s immaturity.

 

 

[TheMoneyShot]

I only like Reed in Cup events, that’s even hard to do..

Concur with this.

 

I am in no way a fan of Reed but one of the enduring attractions to sport/competition is emotion. He let some out, without a younger Tiger-like profanity laced tirade, kept the show within the bubble of he and his caddy, didn’t damage the course, and immediately moved on. Wouldn’t want to see it every week but willing to embrace it on rare occasion.

 

[Stanks]

Playing for millions of dollars, things not going your way, slight anger issue combined with an absolute drive and desire to win out of competitive nature, yeah, it's cool he did that. How many of us have wanted to do that? A lot.

I like Patrick Reed because of how unapologetically real he is. Him, Bubba Watson, on and on. It's better than Sergio beating the piss out of a bunker or taking it out on the course.

[One Putter]

If anyone has earned the right to snap a club, it is a guy who's won the Masters.

[KyGolf]

Believe it or not, I saw some clown run after and putt a moving ball at Shennecock Hills last year.

[carrier street]

Anyone defending Patrick Reed for any reason is why we can't have nice things.

This. I'd snap three or four clubs a year if I had the money to waste getting them re-shafted. I love all these 20 handicaps with the competitive drive of a sloth whining about class.

Anyone bashing Reed for this is why golf is a dying game.

 

[Carl Spackler3]

Greatest caddy

[Lagavulin62]

So it’s possible to buy or win the right to be disrespectful? Is PR, or anyone else with wealth or proven athletic ability, 3-5 levels above the rest of us?

[Shallowface]

We've all been there, even if it wasn't at the US Open.

At least he didn't blame his caddy.

[sbjinx]

I’m like him a little bit more after that. No whining just a quick snap and moving on.

This exactly. Listen to all the support in this thread for snapping clubs at the 18th hole at Pebble Beach during a primetime US Open broadcast on the big Fox Network. Wow.

Listen to all the whining over.. GASP.. a snapped club. Whether playing well or poorly, Reed is immensely more enjoyable to watch play golf than Spieth and it's not even close. Authentic raw passion is magnetic.

 

 

[Frostfield]

Reed is a whiny pudgy little b**** with a horrible attitude. I died a little inside when he won The Masters.

You’re saying Reed is passionate because he snapped a club? What do you think Jack would say about that?

Couldn't give a rip of what senile Jack has to say about anything tbh.

No you probably don’t.

Exactly .., sometimes you have to show the others what’s possible. Absolutely non story. No damage , no outburst , no delay , no danger to anyone but himself.

Same ones whining about Patrick snapping a club are also whining about Jordan’s whining to his caddie. Who’s well paid to hear his whining. A lot of whining going on.

[KAndyMan]

Caddy was epic. Im willing to bet he was reaching for the next wedge as soon as he saw the ball not reach the green.

[DatSliceDoe]

I don't like Patrick, but the shade of his face here was hilarious. Beet red.
