Unpopular golfing opinions

[bluewolf]

As the title implies. What unpopular golfing opinions do you have? I have a few I suppose, but I’ll start with -

Royal Liverpool is one of the better Open rota courses.....

The Masters is the worst major in the year

Oh Danny, what have you started ??

Well I’ve quit drinking for a couple of months mate. I need to get my jollies somehow ?

Is this a No questioning thread..purely opinion?

After reading the book “Tiger Woods” by Jeff Benedict, I think it’s a shame that Tiger won The Masters in 2019 again.

I’m as fascinated by Woods as anyone else and understand the great impact he’s had on golf, but oh my. If 25% of what the book says is accurate he’s still an awful person. Or at least was.

Proper golf attire should be worn at all times. Clothes maketh the man.

Sky coverage of golf is far superior in every way to anything the BBC ever offered!

Yes. Offer an opinion. If someone wants to argue it then they’re misunderstanding what an opinion is.

A lot of people don’t rate Royal Liverpool, and at first glance I can see why. It’s certainly not as picturesque as other Open rota courses. But it’s a beautifully designed course that is a great test of every shot in the bag.

It won't end up like that!

Premium golf balls give no advantage to the average club golfer

Having The Open at St Andrews so frequently is a mistake. It is no longer a sufficient test for the modern elite.

Ooh, I like that one. I agree completely.

Sky Sports having exclusive coverage of all golf will have a negative affect on participation years down the road

I loved it - certainly preferred it to Royal St George’s

Probably not, but we’re all adults in the room. ?

Cast golf clubs are horrific compared to forged and those who spend 250 quid on a putter with a plastic insert need to give their head a wobble

 

[tugglesf239]

Oh and Taylor made clubs are all cheap poop

Assuming you mean negatively?

Get this man another drink, he's on fire ? (I love the head wobble phrase, it just makes me laugh)

1) I really like Royal Liverpool!

2) Women Pros' short games should be as good as the mens'. But are way off.

3) If a club want to have a daft rule, that's their business. Paying to play there is not compulsory!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Dress codes are entirely unnecessary (this may or may not be unpopular ?)
