Uh no. Louis is generally a cry baby on the course as we all saw during his letdown in the Shell Houston Open.

I guess I stand corrected

How about Mother Theresa, did she play golf?

I guess no one is perfect...who would've thunk it.

Hes generally a cry baby on the course because of something that happened one time?

But since I can only choose one, I'll go with KJ Choi.

Bubba Watson, not so much. The France thing doesn't help.
Rocco, it's not you, it's the V-harness. I'm sorry Rocco, I can't get past it.

Are you basing "the France thing" off of the reports or from watching first hand the post round interview that garned all the buzz? (http://www.golfchann...t-happy-070111/) If you watch the actual interview I don't think it comes off nearly as bad as the reports.  Note he never bashes the fans, but just says the environment is just something different that he is not used to.  He goes so far as to say "it's not bad, just different." He aknowledges he wasn't comfortable, but put it on himself, not the French or the fans.

That video is hilarious. Bubba looks like he wants to cry and then the tournament director after looks like he wants to burst out laughing at the situation.

There was other things besides that interview anyway. Like him throwing a hissy fit at the hotel when he found out he was sharing a courtesy car. The writing off of the Arc de Triomphe, a memorial that honours fallen French soldiers, as "this arch I drove round in a circle" didn't win him any fans either. If a French golfer had gone to New York and said something similar about the 9/11 Memorial there would be people calling for his head. Bubba calling the famous Louvre Museum, home of the Mona Lisa among other things, as "that building that begins with L" was just hilarious though.

For me, Stricker, I've followed the guy for years and met him a time or two and he's the same guy today he was years ago, personally, not golf wise. A private guy, yes, but not a phony or a richard head.

On this site its KJ Choi, we all like him.

Charlie Howell is pretty popular too as he checks out the site for info on clubs every so often, I like him a lot, im sure most other wrxers feel the same way.

Did not know that...he's due for a win!  

KJ's a good man, impossible to dislike.  Darren Clarke is probably one of the most likes, and probably the one guy most would want to enjoy a few pints with.  Luke Donald is probably the most well-rounded golfer out there, very intelligent, superb artist, and very gracious with the fans from what I gather.

Yeah but people and media just ignored that... more fun to talk about the pink drive...

ben curtis, multiple tour winner + a major in the resume as well.

I'd have to say K.J, Luke,  and definitely Tom Watson (absolute gentlemen).

I really dislike Kuchar.  I find the constant vacant smile irritating.  It just seems insincere and douchey.  I also thought his "joke" about punching Faldo in the back of the head to be very random and not in the least bit funny.  But I guess humor is subjective.

Also a vote against Furyk, because he is walking ambien and does not seem particularly friendly.  Funny that such a dull, monotone guy pitches 5-hour energy shots (hate his dumb 5 hour energy hat also).

Luke Donald is prob my fave and I really can't see any reason for any golf fan to dislike the guy.

[onafriday]

Lots of seemingly decent guys, whose games are appealing: Cink, Day, Clark, Quiros, and Glover.  

Lots of guys a little too arrogant for me:  Poulter, Bubba, Sabatini, Vijay.

I have an irrational dislike of Dustin Johnson.  I don't know if it's his flat finish or what.

[rex235]

Mike Weir.

Steve Stricker.

[sefus12]

There are a lot who seem to just be likable guys to me:

• KJ Choi
• Steve Stricker
• Darren Clarke
• Graham McDowell
• Boo Weekley
• Zach Johnson
• Stewart Cink (no, beating Tom Watson in a major isn't a reason to sincerely dislike someone)

I know people may not like a few of them because they aren't emotional enough or are too country, but I find it hard to find much to dislike with any of these guys.

Does anyone dislike Adam Scott? i mean that swing is perfection
