^^ oh ya him too. would have been great (and certainly more exciting) to see him pull off a win.

remember that backwards shot he made at The Open Championship a few years ago? if not, check out the video.

Good call bad call

Bubba survived and frankly dominated the golf course on Sunday (relative to the rest of the leaders)

but the course was indeed playing tough, and 8 under won. By 3 shots no less…which is really telling you something.

Ya I was surprised at how Bubba performed. He actually fell back a few shots of Spieth on the front nine, but everything changed on number 8. Two shot swing on that hole and Bubba never looked back. While I’m not a huge fan, he dominated the second nine and certainly earned that second green jacket.

Yeah, 8 was the turning point for so many people

it’s where Spieth freaked out and had his first real setback
it’s where Couples lost confidence in his putter
it’s where Kuchar didn’t birdie at a crucial time

So important. The 9th hole shot by Bubba was the shot of the tourney for me. Excellent, and made a great putt.

Yeah making that sidehill putt was something.

His drive on 13 was just fucking ridiculous.

I was rooting for Jimenez. How can you not go with a cigar smoking ponytail donning aviators wearing Ferrari driving red wine drinking DUDE?

What does everyone think of Ian Baker-Finch’s golf commentary. I can’t stand listening to him on account of the multitude of retarded comments he makes. One such example was during the masters coverage when Furyk had a shot go a little not his way…IBF says “that’s going to make him want to pull his hair out!” um has Ian Baker-Finch not seen Furyk without a hat on?

They need to kick him to the curb and double up on the mic time they give to Oostie. He’s perfect.

That was a sarcastic joke about furyk. How you didn’t get that …I don’t know.

Finch is great. Oosterhuis is boring as fuck. That’s why he gets the worst holes and no air time. He’s also 70 and out of touch. Finch was world number 1 and won a major. And he’s funny as hell. (Depending on the audience lol)

Saki you’re known for pointing out apples to oranges comparisons as opposed to making them!

Joe Carter as an RBI man was second to none. As a Jays commentator in retirement, no good.

Lanny Wadkins won 21 times on TOUR with a Major. As a commentator he got booted to the champions tour.

Ian Baker Finch may have been a heck of a golfer but as a commentator, ouch.

I don’t mind Finch - or Oosterhuis. The guy I absolutely cannot stand is McCord. But I’m sure I’ve already posted that a few times in this thread.

Welp, my true “LOFT” has shown itself in my last few rounds. Hittin’ it all over the yard, but of course throwing in the occasional birdie just to tease myself and keep me coming back… What a game…

At least I’m finding time to play, right? :stuck_out_tongue:
