What is going on with this guy? Thought he’d mellowed out a bit with marriage and masters but holy shit this is peak Sergio spitting in the hole.
How can you be a Rickie hater? Guy is one of the nicest guys on the tour by all accounts and does not do anything on the course that anyone could find annoying. The only way I could possibly see a way to "hate" the guy is just if they don't like the in your face marketing and over exposure he gets that's typically reserved for Top 2 or 3 players.
This is exactly why he dislikes Rickie as a golfer. Thinks there’s more fluff than substance based on actual wins. He made it quite clear he likes Rickie as a person.
Yeah, that was his problem with Rickie...the marketing and the overreaction to his Players win to rush to include him in the top 4 players in the world when his resume does not support it.
Well in that case, I guess I get it. Not his fault people in the media build him up but I still get it.
I think late stage capitalism rickie was half tongue in cheek from big randy a few years ago and they just turned it into his schtick to be contrarian.
I’m sure the fact that Rick’s team has told NLU that they have no interest in doing an interview/podcast makes it much easier for them to bust his chops
Soly has actually commented on how the whole storyline makes things weird for him because he does have a relationship with Rickie (even without a podcast). But he also sees how playing favorites is not great journalism, so they need to be at least somewhat objective making arguments about everyone.
I’ve noticed soly biting his tongue on several topics and it feels like the more time that goes by he’s just more of a podcast host where he lets tron/randy/dj opine and he’s more there to keep things on topic and moving. I do think he does a great job as an interviewer. The little criticism (that I’ve noticed) of rickie just doesn’t seem really entrenched. It really seems like a hill that big randy could come off any minute and the rest of the guys just at him any time rickie is doing well to chirp him jokingly.
I’ve tried to have Ricky be my golf villain several times just based on some of the ridiculously gay shit he wears. It’s just not possible. The guy is clearly really cool/nice and is possibly the most well liked guy out there. Would love to see him get that elusive major.
Big Randy fucking sucks and every pod he’s on is worse because of him. Agree about him just running with the Rickie hate schtick though
Heading down to SC for a wedding in March. Golfing Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Is it cheaper to just bring the clubs on flight with me, or should I use shipsticks?
What airline? If it's Southwest you can check them as one of your free bags. Any other airline it's just the cost of a regular checked bag as long as you keep it under the 50 pounds which shouldn't be a problem. Any time I've looked at Ship Sticks for an estimate it's cost more than checking it
My Samsonite hard shell with my shoes, dozen balls, etc. is 44 lbs which is good for every airline but Allegiant, who I fly a lot. I usually can sneak it through though.
C'mon Jack. You shouldn't be photographed looking like a retired cop that took up golf upon retiring in Estero Florida
You know what I like about it. No matter the outcome...I win. Ty wins and you lose....I win because you just took another L. You beat Ty and I'm still 1-0 against you regardless. Good luck tomorrow!
Soly does way too much, "We've heard some things about <insert golfer> that would shock you, but we can't tell." Dude, spill it or shut up.
