Narcissism and the Pga Tour.

[Ferguson]

 

It's a rare disorder.

A true narcissist - Madonna.

 

 

[Man_O_War]

and Tom Watson cheated on his wife whiles she had cancer. Left her for another but the irishman1979 cannot see that. Has to be Tiger Woods and his one divorce. Not to mention Greg Norman.. Sir Faldo...married 3-4 times? cheated every time..

[puttingmatt]

I doubt we need to bring others into the fray

Bashing Tiger and Patrick should suffice.

Lol

[bscinstnct]

Wait, I must have missed the Michael Jackson comparison.

 

In what universe does anything about TWs actions resemble Michael Jackson's?

 

 

 

[Darth Putter]

They both wore one glove while performing for their audiences?

[VNutz]

Ah, the good ol drinks and groupies post round days.

[VNutz]

A thread about narcissism started by someone insistent on bringing attention to himself. Hmm

[Vardon Grip]

OP, I think u mean egoist. Similar, not the same.

[Vindog]

You just pushed this thread over the borderline.

[Vardon Grip]

Yeah, I don’t even know why I did it, must my narcissist tendencies.

[chrismikayla]

Just FYI for a true diagnosis of NPD we look for the following:

Sense of entitlement

Wanting undeserved praise of being superior.

Craving attention

Callous feelings and disregard to others.

Fantasies of grandiosity.

[Vindog]

Why we gotta bring my sister in law into this?

[Hawkeye77]

Quit preachin' Papa!

[jgonz69]

OP forgot the golfwrx golden rule, “thou shalt not disparage tiger” or the sycophants will come out in force.

only on golfwrx can you say a marriage didn’t workout when the man cheated on the wife hundreds of times. Lol

[Hawkeye77]

Or just think it's kind of silly to keep talking about stuff that is old news and none of our business.

[duffer987]

 

WTF are you on about? No one is lionizing Tiger for his personal life just pointing out that the OP calls him out lamenting the modern player, while conveniently forgetting all the absolute rubbish behaviour previous players got away with.

There's no sycophants here and if that is your go to, you either didn't read this thread, having the reading comprehension skills of a concussed helper m o n k e y, or you're a reactionary muppet... well or all three really.

[Fade]

Since I cannot figure this out myself I'll ask: When, why, how did "Narcissism/Narcissist" become slang terms? I seem to come across these on a daily basis now!

[bladehunter]

Holy crap. You too ! Mine is batshit crazy , I mean the kind of crazy you either have to kill or move away from in the middle of the night while it’s passed out.

[Hawkeye77]

Me too, usually looking in the mirror!

[ShallowbutDeadly]

agree!

Also, putting Tiger and Reed in the same conversation is silly.

 

[Edward_Majorwin]

Without ever meeting a professional golfer in my life, I'm in no position to judge and label any of them with such a demonizing term.

I've met only one true narcissist in every day life, and to this day I consider him to be the lowest POS human being to ever cross my path. I highly doubt any of the PGA Tour professionals could be as bad as that guy...he'd even make Shooter McGavin look like a saint in comparison.

I'd bet the majority of pros are down to earth dudes most of the time. It's probably the only sport left on earth where humility still reigns supreme (thank gawd!!). As soon as guys start over-celebrating in the tee boxes, fairways and greens after hitting great shots then I'm out for good.

[bscinstnct]

 

jgonz be like

 

[bscinstnct]

Ha! blade, count me in on the crazy sil.

 

Militant vegan, anti everybody...we should get our sils together, lol ; )

[Steele47]

 

Yes along with 'Existential'.

[Man_O_War]

you sir need a holiday

[Steele47]

In Cambodia.

[bladehunter]

Only if we tow a small boat a couple miles off shore , poke a hole in it and leave them on it.

 

Mine isnt just annoying. She’s dangerous. 110lbs of evil. I’ve never known anyone who loves drama like she does. I’m not talking tame drama. I’m talking stabbing a guy in the head with a high heel shoe , drama. Or calling from a potential p-o-r-n shoot / human trafficking situation 6 states away needing airfare money. Or the time she decided to get sloshed at her first cousins wedding and moon the entire banquet room while cussing out a table of us trying to tell her to stop. She had on no underroos. Old people were mortified. That was the last family event with alcohol. And it was 11 years ago. She has a federal record since then and a kid who failed kindergarten. Yea. Kindergarten.

[Vindog]

I was gonna mention that my crazy SIL has a crazy twin. But a federal rap has me beat.

 

 

[bladehunter]

Yea. But they didn’t keep her is the bad part. She plays the innocent victim well too. So just probation.

 

Ive known this chick 25 years now. Once when she was around 22-23 she called out house at 2 am. Said she thought the cops were chasing her , and that she was drunk and driving etc. I convinced her to park and tell me where. And I’d come get her , mainly to keep her from killing someone while driving.

 

So i drive her car home and wife takes my truck back. She looked like a wet dog that had lipstick put on and smeared and hadbeen drug through a brush pile backwards. We go home. Make her a bed in the guest room and go to bed ourselves. Wake up at 630 am and realize she’s gone. And open the fridge to find the milk , all my eggs and a pack of bacon stolen. I look farther and see no potato chips , bread and/or cereal. This fool had went grocery shopping in my kitchen before she left. I had to go to town to get breakfast.

[HackDaddy360]

I can’t give them too much grief. Give me hundreds of millions of dollars, sick sponsorships, travel constantly to some of the most beautiful places in the world and get catered to more-less all the time and get paid to do it - I can’t say I’d be super humble and down to earth either. They create their own reality - I probably would too - most people would.

If someone wants to test my hypothesis I’m happy to provide my bank account info and you can send the fun tickets my way - will let you know how it goes ??
