Funny. (+ interesting)
Nothing wrong with a little jabbing if it's good natured.

Faldo should have turned around and said "what about winged foot ud never have seen me do that on the last hole"

i agree... roflmbo
ps...
i wish phil would show a little more "ump" in public ... when i was growing up, in wrestling there were bad / good guys ... we need more of that in golf, instead of all the robot stuff we see now ...

I thought all golf fans had already heard this but apparently not so here ya go:
"Nick Faldo has tried to redefine himself," Azinger told the Mail on Sunday. "Some people have bought it. Some have not.
"But if you're going to be a prick and everyone hates you, why do you think that just because you're trying to be cute and funny on air now that the same people are all going to start to like you?"
"The bottom line is that the players from his generation and mine really don't want to have anything to do with him."

Phil Mickelson is a snivelling sunkist-smiling douchebag. VJ Singh didn't like him from the moment he saw his gerbil smile and who can blame him.
Now Nick Faldo's technique was a bit retarded. He was a control player not a power player. If your hitting as short as Faldo, that lack of aggression better be converted into consistancy to score like he did in his prime. Faldo was a little bit ahead of his time because with the new clubs that are out, means that you do not have to 'whack' the ball anymore inorder to get acceptable yardages and the human is really only capable of keeping a positive equity accuracy from 280 to 300 yards.
I have an old small faced driver that I can hit the same distances as the professionals on tv. However because of their superior equipment, they don't have to do anywhere as much work in order to hit the ball about 280 yards and is alot more accurate as a result. I almost feel ready for new clubs...lol
Now some of the courses have been made so long at Professional event that a power player still has a place. The way that John Daly played when he was at his peak means he will always have a very erratic round because of this fact. Whack it up to the green and short iron it in produces alot of birdies and eagles, however also a lot of dropped shots with recovery shots. If you get lucky, you can win. Hitting it softly twice basically produces more pars so if you have a lead in a tournament, it is ideal to play this way in order to make the other players have to do work to catch up and someone like Tiger Woods does that alot on the final day instead of doing what he did in 97 where he just kept going on with the aggressive game and was successful for all the four days is capable of playing both ways as he probably lost 2 majors this way and he learned to play it more like Jack Nicklaus.

Amazes me how many people seem to know Phil so well when they have never met him. He makes an effort to be friendly and does not pout when he is playing. Tiger seems to look miserable unless he is leading the pack. Friend of mine attempted to engage VJ in Florida when he was walking to the practice tee. He could not even be bothered to acknowledge him at all.
Till I meet anyone of these guys all we hear about them is conjecture and opinions. I really don't want to know them anyways. Many times you meet your heroes and you walk away disappointed. You are better off watching them from afar and not listening to what others say about them.
I will always root for Phil. He is a fantastic golfer and excites and entertains like no other. It is also a bonus that he appears friendly and kind to his fans too.

i was at the u.s. open at torrey last year watching phil and tiger warm up...tiger's done walks by the bleacher filled with adoring fans who are saying nice things,,,his response? ..head down ..not even eye contact!!!! this was BEFORE he tees off.....phil finishes..walks by the same bleacher....big smile,,,eye contact....thanks the crowd.....WOW what a difference.....GO PHIL!! he gets it.......tiger can go pout over his millions.....
i think tiger just likes to play up his "intensity" and "focus," whereas phil is more of a happy go lucky type. just two different people with different approaches and personalities. Not that you aren't entitled to prefer one personality over the other.
What you said about personalities is spot on. My understanding was that Tiger was a shy kid. I know if I were in his position, I'd be the same way. Dosen't mean he's a jerk. Maybe he's just not the schmoozing type.
