tiger woods??

dude do you even watch golf cuz if you have been you would have noticed that snedeker has not been any of the big tournaments lately. This is due to him not being qualified to play in them not because he doesn't want to. He has made 3 of 10 cuts this year. Before you make it personal and attack my fanhood you should get your facts straight.

[Carolina Golfer 2]

Chris DiMarco

 

Jesper Parnavik

 

Carl Petterson

 

are two that come to mind right now that used to be highly ranked or always in the hunt and have seemingly dropped off the golf radar. Realize I'm speaking in the general sense, I know they are still competing and playing on Tours but you get the idea.

 

Feel free to throw out any others that come to mind....and oh yeah if you have any answers as well :)

[MrJones]

Maybe no one else cares but I'm wondering about Kim Welch from the Big Break. She played really well the first day of the Navistar here but fell apart on the second.

 

But regardless she had already earned her way on to the LPGA before hand so I'm wondering why she hasn't played in any events this year.

Chris Patton, a top amateur from the late 1980's.....

[dennis4190]

Jodie Mudd

 

Raising horses I think and he quit before his 10 year exemption was up.

He bought a farm and is indeed raising horses but I hear he is getting ready for the Champions Tour as he will soon be 50

Shigeki Maruyama ??

Victor Schwamkrug

 

Nationwide player once hailed as longest hitter on any tour.

We talked about him on page 4. I played with him 20 years ago. He could play, and he was a super nice fellow. I wish he made it. I am pretty sure he is a club pro at Fox Run in Simpsonville, SC.

Former LPGA tour hothead Lori Garbacz?

I followed Snedeker for 9 holes at the US Open a couple of weeks ago during his Wednesday practice round. So he has been played in at least one "big tournament" very recently.

Victor Schwamkrug

Having seen Schwamkrug play, I can tell you this guy can move it out there with anyone who's ever stepped foot on a golf course.

Crystal Pepsi

[Mr Mizuno]

Michelle Wie haven't heard anything of her for ages

[Drive4Show]

Lucas Glover.... in a good way.

 

Last year he had 8 top 25's and 2 top 10's in 26 starts, this year he has 8 top 25's, 4 top 10's and a major in 17 starts. What happened from last year to this year?

i thought bubba out drove him on the nationwide

Chris Riley, He was on the Ryder Cup team that Hal Sutton captained. After he claimed he was tired, he hasn't been spotted since.

 

Rich Beem and Shaun Micheel both won PGA Championships and I haven't seen either of them in any of the recent tournaments

[Ronzo]

some might say that, only if they are a complete idiot though!. typical american.

I think it is quite safe to say that the european tour has considerably more strength in depth. If you take out Tiger and Phil is there anyone there worth getting exited about?

Actually, I think that the European Tour headliners are worth getting excited about, but there appears -- to me -- to be a significant drop-off after the first fiteen top players there that doesn't -- to me -- appear in the USA PGA Tour until you reach number 45 or so on that money list. I don't see the equivalent of a Brian Gay or a Lucas Glover in the European Tour fields.

 

The problem is, there are very few events where all the players on the list you posted tee it up in the same event at the same venue. Even though the game is the same, the venues played are not. It makes it difficult to make meaningful comparisons.

 

I also believe, regrettably, that there are so many pros on both Tours who are content with a good paycheck rather than striving for a win. At least until they've gotten close to winning themselves. Maybe that's because the fields are so evenly matched. All Tour players are a group of talent unto themselves, and I know I'll never get a sniff of what it feels like to hit the ball so pure AND so consistently.

 

I'm sorry you have had such bad experiences with Americans that you are able to typify them as you have in your post. Thankfully, I've never met a "typical Englishman". I know quite a few English nationals, and they all differ.

dave rummels....bill britton.....robert gamez....wayne grady.....wayne riley....the farmer guy who made it on the senior tour....jay don blake.....mike donald....mark brooks....

Wayne Levi is why I even found this thread via a search. Here's the answer...

 

http://tinyurl.com/klz3fs

 

Wow, I had no idea he is 57. He must've played senior tour, which I have not watched in several years.

[jaskanski]

Costantino Rocca? Made the 1995 Open playoff with 'that' putt and beat Tiger in the Ryder Cup. What's he up to now?

[MikeD2]

The most famous guy in golf for three days and ONLY three days, T.C. Chen.

 

May his name be forever ingrained in the minds of any player who's ever double hit a golf ball.

[Debit]

Not sure if this topic is only for male golfers, but what about Grace Park? Not only a very good golfer a few years ago but very nice to look at also. It seems she has contracted "Duvalitis", she rarely makes a cut.

 

Grace was injured (back, wrist) and has had surgery. She should return soon. Wonder if she will be able to contend, however.

[Señor Rafa]

David Howell.

 

Completely forgot about him until today when I saw him playing today at the Open. This guy was was immense 3-4 years ago... ashame how his career has gone downhill for whatever reason. Lets hope he has a good run at the Open.

About 10-12 years ago I met the guy who was TC Chen's caddie in that '85 Open. He stayed in Las Vegas for a few years and was a huge sports bettor, tens of thousands per game, so much that he had to spread it around and have other guys wager for him because some books didn't want his action after he beat them badly.

 

I had known him for more than a year before the topic came up, that he caddied for Chen in that Open. Sure enough, when I saw the replayed highlights there he was, only much younger with longer hair.

Paul Stankowski??
