Does anybody know what is wrong with Bubba Watson?

  • Dude has some issues.
    Two links, one about a weird car chase that I'm assuming is a paranoid delusion and another article saying it's not fun playing on tour anymore because of cell phones.
    Think he might have gone off his meds. It makes his crying fit at Augusta make more sense now.

    Phil Mickelson texted PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem from fairway at Memorial about cellphone usage being out of hand - ESPN

    The biggest distraction Jack Nicklaus ever faced on the golf course was from a helicopter.

    Bubba Watson Car Chase: Golfer Caught In Late-Night Pursuit After Memorial Tournament

    DUBLIN, Ohio -- As perhaps the hottest name in golf these days, Bubba Watson is trying to keep his public and private lives separate. But the two may have intertwined - no one knows for sure - in a curious incident earlier this week while the Masters champion and his family were in the Columbus, Ohio, area for the Memorial Tournament.

    A bit of an over exaggeration there steve.

  • Yeah, because it is so unlike crazed idiots to chase celebrities, and God knows how much we all love it when strange people are taking photographs of us, especially when we are trying to concentrate on our job. That wouldn't be a distraction at all.

    Give the guy a break, the article was in fact about Mickelson not Bubba. Bubba just happened to be associated in the article because he was in Mickelson's group and some clown with a mic stuck in his face after Phil withdrew.

  • I still think he is a pompous ass...sorry fellers.

  • i think anybody with his collar buttoned to the top looks like a pompous ass, in this case, i am right.

    on another subject, i saw that ricky martin guy playing with tiger in the last round, with that ugly orange outfit, he is still the ugliest man in sports

    Dude you are so right. However, with that said he is doing something right....laughing all the way to the bank with the endorsements. He may even have a pending deal for Tater Nation.

  • Fowler played golf at Oklahoma State. He wears those colors to honor his school.

    It's an ugly color, but he's doing it for a reason.

  • So let me get this straight: bubba driving his family away from a stalker + Phil Mickleson complaining about cell phones on golf course = something being wrong with Bubba?

    You're talking about Ricky Fowler who is one of the nicest guys in the sport.

  • Kinda funny how all the Bubba sunshine pumpers after the Masters are silent. I mean I understand if you are a fan of the guy but i got downvoted like 50 times for saying he was a pompous ass and one of the most disliked guys out there.

    chucktcock ●

  • Bubba was driving away from a stalker huh? That's why he didn't call the cops, instead he called his caddie! If you read that story and don't think it sounds a little weird than I don't know what to tell you. He was either blazed out of his mind or has frequent paranoid delusions IMO IYAM.

    And the guy just won the Master's and has made countless millions playing golf because of the fans but because they bring in cell phones "It's not fun anymore." Give me a break.
    Should have believed the guy who posted on here and said bubba was a flake the day after he won the green jacket.

    Oh by the way, Bubba let's Rickie Fowler babysit his newborn. They left him overnight with RF when the baby was like 8 weeks. Kind of weird.

  • We should go to Kiawah for the PGA Championship and take pictures of him with our cell phones the whole time. You can shout your "release the hounds" everytime he hits the ball. That should be enough to bother him.

    Good idea. We can get some old cell phones that don't work so when they confiscate the phone we can just do if again. I swear I can fit about 20 flip phones in my cargo shorts.

    That is the funniest thing i ever heard.

  • I dig the cell phone idea Steve. May run into you there with my wife beater and jorts.

    Back to the original topic...not making excuses for Bubba, but he's paying the price for success. The question is can he handle it.

    Hope he doesn't turn out ot be a Daly. Not saying or predicting he will. Dude has a strong faith in Christ, not in and out of rehab, not on his 12th wife, etc.

    Probably just an adjustment period for Bubba.

    Speaking of Masters hangovers, what has Trevor Immelman done since winning the Masters? A stupid azz shade commercial with Kenny Powers, umm Perry. Dude hasn't done squat since on the course...mia

    not questioning his niceness. he may be the kindest man who ever lived, but somebody needs to have an intervention....honestly, he looks like a 1950s refugee from a pool hall.

    you cant judge a book by its cover, but there is no need for scaring innocent pets and bystanders

    Yea, it's loud as hell and definitely not the norm...but Puma is now making a killing off the little guy.

    Since I'd be willing to bet every penny I make for the rest of my life that he wasn't "blazed out of gis mind" it must be the alternative. Yeah, I can totally see that, it was one of those weird paranoid delusions where two people experience the exact same thing. That happens all the time.

    Nobody is gonna judge you if you just come out and say you don't like the dude. It's fine, it's rather obvious anyway. I certainly understand that he has shown an abrasive personality at times, but he does not have a history of brash erratic behavior and if you know anything about him, it would be a stretch to draw the conclusion that he got high at a christian music concert and then decided to get behind the wheel of a car.

    You on the other hand have a history of making brash, erratic posts. So, I'm inclined to assume you just don't like him.

    .

    I beg to differ. I posted that I heard from a guy who works on the Tour that said Bubba was the biggest Pri Madonna jerk out there right after the Masters and got around 20 downvotes for it. I guess those that were on their knees when he won have since gotten up and realized he isnt God, literally.
