I like getting haircut!

 

My place in NYC closed and I took a chance with a local place in the Burbs where my folks still live.

 

Ecuadorian  girl, very nice, meticulous and does the straight razor routine on the back of my neck.

 

20 bucks! Guy in NYC was charging me 40. I give this girl a 10$ tip and I’m still ahead of the game ; )

$20 is cheap, it’s what I pay in the burbs of KC. Good price for around here, for NYC area it sounds like a steal. 
 

I used to go to this old school barber shop, 2 old guys would do straight razor, then they had these giant steel neck massagers that looked like something from 50 years ago. Hot towel is nice too.

I’d love to see how well put together some of you comedians are.

I've got a feeling the bar is pretty low.

My bar is so low you’d need an excavator to get down to it. Look up ugly in the dictionary and my picture is next to it......hence no comments on Stuart.

Well just like the OP I’m really quite pretty and I think Stuart looks sooo 2020

I’ll say this, I’d rather look like Stuart than whatever Brandel has on his head. He’s either trying to recreate a helmet with all the hairspray or he thinks a cow pie on the head is a good look.  

I love how in this hypothetical, brandel is not just trying to create a helmet, but instead “recreate” the childhood helmet that got away

I can't believe that people are complaining about people complaining about Stuart Appleby's appearance. How petty and judgmental can you get?

My wife is not a fan -- "he was so handsome".  And now Jordan, "he's so handsome and such a nice young man."  Thank goodness Adam Scott isn't playing this week.  I think she's sending me messages, but I never understand them.

If in the same breath she ask if your life insurance is paid and you hear a knife sharpening ......run! LOL!

Appleby is cultivating the Keith Urban look.  Chicks dig it. (#Nicole Kidman)

you are correct that making fun of him is dumb. 
 

U are correct dressing like an IT nerd is tradition, but what I wear has nothing to do with respect. 

How angry tight clothing makes you is probably indicative of how you much you can’t stop staring, and how much you hate the tingly feelings you get when you stare. 

 

sorry to target you but nothing will destroy this thread quicker than me calling you out for being a grumpy crustacean. That’s what we both want. 
 

You can call me out. I can take it! 😆

 

I wear the fact that Men in tights that hug above their ankles (or capris for that matter) make my eyes melt as a badge of honor!

 

Lots of fashion thru the decades just never work.

[puttingmatt]

I thought Stuart did  good commentary,

Looking forward to seeing him again.

Now I understand why the Golf Channel has hired such ugly people (bald, fat, egg headed, weird small glasses, etc.) over the years.

 

To mirror its viewers who apparently are triggered by anyone with more going for him than them.

 

What it is is...

 

We know SA tryin to look cool and what not. 
 

But for that look... he too old. Toooo olllld...

 

😂🤣😂

 

 

Sorry sorry, we had few sambucas here and can’t stop laughing bout “tooo old” 😂

Hey do you, if you want to get all hot and bothered over another mans rear end, drool on. 
 

You have your needs, fancy fashionistas need love too. Just make sure the beard stays well paid for, or she’ll be looking for something with a little more... Stuart.

Wow... do we know each other?    You just described me to a tee.      Ha, Ha!  As the originator of this post, come on boys.... this is the Internet and nobody's perfect.  (Either that, or we all are.)  I've admired Appleby as a golfer for years now but even Rich Lerner -- who has to sit next to the guy -- said at the opening of Pre-Game today, "We managed to get Prince Valiant into a tie."  See: it's flat-out-American to make gentle fun of people different from us.   Especially if they were just ejected from a Bronx soup kitchen for looking "too sticky."  😀

At first I didn't recognize who it was...my immediate thought it was some musician they were interviewing. Finally figured out it was Stuart Appleby. That look isn't very flattering IMO, but if he likes it that's all that matters. 

No it isn't. Most of us hate the look and that's what matters. 🙂

[MattyO1984]

Kinda feel for Appleby here. I’d much rather that he was comfortable in his own skin than dressing up to be something that he is not.

Did you really have to describe me exactly!?

 

I don’t get triggered because everyone has more going for them than me. Like I said earlier, my bar is incredibly low!!

[cardoustie]

I thought this thread was tongue in cheek.

 

Some seem to be able to get offended about anything

 

it is a golf site, and he does look miles different than he used to, can we just all have some fun ?

 

Saying Daly looks like Santa, is that also bad?

Giving you the benefit of doubt because you're relatively new here, but if you think anyone is offended, triggered or upset by his hair then you don't understand the humor and banter on this site yet--- much of it is akin to bar talk with your buddies, often nonsensical fun.

Who is not having fun?!

 

What’s their username we must all target them immediately with fun.

Not trying to sound preachy here (yeah I probably will anyway..doh!) ... so to be clear, this is just the way I personally see this... IMO having fun is one thing. Making fun of someone based on appearance or any number of other attributes is not something I was brought up to view as harmless or acceptable. I always find it funny too that there seems to be the general conception that making fun of someone's appearance is somehow more acceptable than several other things such as religion, ethnicity, political belief, etc. 

 

P.S. Making fun of each other (i.e. bantering, etc.) in a small group of friends is something I think we all do, so I do get that and I do give a general pass to professional comedians, because in their line of work I think everything is fair game!

Aussie’s are notorious ball busters and are very sarcastic.  Like Scots who love to take the piss

I guarantee you his pals are crushing him right now

Scissors, Neanderthal head covers etc

[Rosco1216]

The men here slamming this guy are probably either are bald and wish they could physically grow their hair as well as Stuart or they’re too uptight or insecure to change up their same country club/CPA look they’ve had their entire life. 

Everyone on tv has the exact same style so at least he’s doing something different and changing it up. That being said, the long straight hair parted down the middle isn’t a good style for him. Grow the beard and do something else with the hair.

You can sure tell around here when it's a holiday and half the world is covered in snow and ice...

 

Y'all need to go make sandwiches or something.

The Golf Channel deserves more credit for broadcasting for full days. It’s a holiday and cold as hell for them too!

I agree 100%. I actually call people out all the time for being cruel to people. 

 

I don’t think this thread is truly mean spirited.

 

Its more like if you make fun of a friend who plucked their eyebrows or something 😂
