    I hate watch PGA golf and pros are the most coddled little babies in sports

    They must have complete silence and absolutely no movement before they swing. Phil Mickleson forced the golf channel to move a drone cause it was in his line of sight. Asshole, when you swing you're staring at the ground.

    They abuse caddies who not only carry the clubs and clean up after theses pricks, they are expected to know the geography of the course, the yardage of each shot, the slope of the green, basically they plan every shot for the player. And when they sail the ball into the pine straw or shank a putt, they berate the caddie for fucking up the read.

    Probably the thing that irritates me most is the rules. Aside from hitting in the water, it's practically impossible to get a penalty. I've seen a dude hit into a tool shed. He called over a ref who promptly placed the ball back on the course where the player could see the flag. If a tree is in the way of the swing, you can move the ball to a position where you can complete a full swing.

    They're almost all conservative assholes who loathe the fans. The only guy on tour who seems to have a personality is pat Perez, who unironically rocks a mullet and air Jordan cleats. He's a huge gambler and drinker who hangs out with nba players. I think he has the biggest Jordan collection in the world. That's not cool or anything, but it is interesting in a sport full of boomers.

    Edit: jfc my longest post on this site is about golf. My priorities are clearly in the right place

      Their hate for golf fans is the only thing I can respect about pro golfers

        True, true. They're all the same guy. The dickhead that wears a belt with shorts and tucks in his nike collard shirt and yells out "get in the hole" after every fucking shot.

      Also there is a golf tournament called the Masters, located in Georgia, that was all white for forever and the only black people allowed were caddies. Players had to use the club's caddies, who were all black, until 1982.
