Am I being trolled. I’ve stood next to Brooks and he’s my height. Rory is clearly a good two inches less. Puts Brooks at 5’9 Rory at less than 5’7.

 

BK is 6’ or close. He’s about the same as TW. TW maybe a shade shorter. I saw them both. TW is 5’11. He’s definitely not 5’9. 
 

If BK is 5’9, how tall is DJ? 5’11?

 

 

 

 

 

Im good at estimating heights and weight. You need to be in football especially. And I lm very familiar with people hyping their own heights/weights. We would all do that on the stat sheet in sports ; )
 

But I saw BK and TW and Phil and Rory, all of them. Very close since Bethpage had a lot of spots you were within a few yards of the players.

I’d have had dj in the 6’2” range. Not seen enough of Brooks live to have an opinion..

 

tiger is taller than me. Id have said 6 to 6’1”

Nope.  Maybe you're Euro, and using the metric system but screwing up on the conversion?

 

Seriously, Brooks is in no way 5'9.  Rory is taller than 5'7 as well.

 

Were you one of the kids in school who stood eye to nose with other guys, and angled your hand upwards when comparing your heights while claiming yourself taller?

seems a lot of bombers over the years have been below 6 feet. I believe Nicklaus is 5 10 as is John Daly... Nicklaus' voice like Rakkinen and Vettel in F1 is pretty irritating but nothing to do with his height. 

 

From long hitters under six feet tall to world championship drivers with irritating voices.  Interesting connection there.

I’m British and we invented the Imperial measuring system used throughout the British Empire. So no I’m not screwing up any conversion.

 

However, there are many Americans in this thread who think that you measure your height while wearing shoes.

 

I’m confident I’ve identified where the confusion lies.

While it is true that you should measure height without shoes, the addition of any kind of standard shoe is not going to add 3". It seems the confusion lies between your ears unfortunately. There is no way Koepka is 5'9" tall. Just not happening. Bryson is 6'1". Tell me again how Brooks is 5'9"?

Lol you can hardly prove one persons height by standing him next to another person whose height you don’t actually know. 

I will say that Faldo was properly tall (billed as 6’3, he’s now 63 years old so probably 6’1), Ernie noticeably tall (billed as 6’3 but he was shorter than faldo), DJ is a bit tall (billed as 6’4 but 6’2 is closer). And yet Faldo is still considerably taller than Dechambeau:

I will give Dechambeau 5’10 at a push which puts Koepka at 5’9, as I said.

There's no sense in keeping this conversation going with you. You obviously know more than every other person posting in this thread on this subject, and are the only one who knows these people's true height. Nevermind you can find their height in multiple places online, and you are the only one wrong, I mean, why let facts get in the way of a poor opinion.

 

Or you are trolling just to see how people react. Either way, I'm done with this conversation.

You are just goofing around right?

 

Here is a pic of BK and TW that I took. I saw them both for most of the morning within 10 feet of them many time. BK is 6’ and TW is just under that.

 

I remember because I was thinking that BK was taller than me by an inch or so but he wasn’t “linebacker” size and I could definitely take him! 😂

And yet I’m the one posting factual verifiable information, where others have forgotten to take their shoes off.

BD is the same as TW, maybe a little taller. Unless you think TW is 5’8 ; )

 

Heres 3 different pics of them together

I've just chalked it up to this guy is trolling for reactions. He really can't be serious.

Glad you agree with me, yes Rory just about gets 5’7 first thing in the morning. Little Ricky is v short indeed.

[Krt22]

Sounds like a bunch of guys in here measure their heights the same way they measure their fish, lol

[Puppetmaster]

Typical irrelevant thread derailment. To me, this just shows that height doesn't even really matter, these guys hit a long way because of other things they do well in their swings. End of the day, Wilco is still an impressive player to watch, lots to learn from the swing too.  

[Yuck]

Ok, I follow.  
 

everyone knows Rahm is only 5’10” therefore Tiger and Brooks are 5’6” and Rory is actually a Leprechaun.  I submit my proof.

Watch out for another big drive this week, there are a couple par 5's he can unleash on...

Camera adds ten pounds.  I've seen Brooks and TW in person.  They are both right at or a hair under 6 feet but not nearly as big frame/muscle wise in reality compared to TV. 

[iBanesto]

Not a top professional golfer yet.

 

But crazy speed with those levers.

 

 

[Mcgeeno]

Wow.

 

Did it say he's 6 foot 9?

Wait until Hammersia logs back on.  He'll let you know how tall the player really is.  Guessing somewhere around 6'2"...

Haha, I actually did not know there was lively discussion about height before my last post!
