Bubba Watson Instruction To Playing Partner

[Mule56]

I has just watching the replay of todays Zurich coverage. I heard Bubba ask his playing partner "would you please stop walking". You can't hear the response from who ever it was, but you could clearly hear Bubba respond to that comment with, "kiss my a..". :eek:
Anyone know who that playing partner was and if there is any history between them or just Bubba having a bad day. He did hit his next shot out of the ruff to about 1 foot. Maybe he should play mad all the time. :rofl:

[davepratt]

Here's the video. Pretty funny.

Turns out Elkington kept walking towards the hole while Bubba is ready to make his shot.

Bubba: Can you stop walking, man, damn! You did it all day yesterday... Fcukr...<mic fades, you can hear a commentator gasp>

Elkington: <not audible>

Bubba: Tell you what, <jumbled word> can kiss my a$$...

You get the hint that maybe Elkington threatened to tell the PGA on Bubba resulting in Bubba's final remark. Good thing for PVR... had to rewind that like 10 times and crank the vol up. :p

Yes, bad blood between the two.

[BowmanvilleJim]

That's hilarious. That's the kind of thing they should let us hear.

better link...Bubba said 'veterans can kiss my a--'

[Pingeye2_fan]

My freind's nephew pulls that crap, he walks ahead all the time,
I was hitting a blind shot on one of the Par 5's at Copper Creek, I think it is on the front nine, there is water down front and I was in the long stuff short and right.
Before I hit my blind wedge shot I walked over so I could see the green and yelled "heads up" I hit it over the trees and landed on the green, I walk up and the guy says you almost hit me you know, he seemed a little shaken up.
I said sorry but you know maybe the green isn't such a great place to stand when someone is hitting an approach.

The guy is about 45 but acts like he is 12, one of those guys whose father has a P.H.D. if you know what I mean.

I don't want to seem like I'm a complainer but this person is my least favorite to play with but I like playing with my buddy at the Country Club.
My buddy tries to avoid getting in a game with his nephew if I'm coming as his guest because he knows he gets under my skin with his crappy etiquette

Boy do I feel better now.

[The Troll]

Geez, Elk looked like he was 40 yards away.

See, Tiger acts like a jerk so his "practice" partner thinks it's his birthright too.

If Bubba played from the correct side of the ball Elk would have been behind him. :rofl:

[Leftygolfer30]

Cool it there buddy! :cool:



What did we learn from this???



Don't mess with lefties! :eek: :rofl:

[Carlton]

Ahhh, they cleared up some of on TGC. Elkington supposedly told Bubba that he should have more respect for the veteran players, hence Bubba's comment about veterans.

I just lost any respect I ever had for Elk. Who does he think he is?

A veteran....a right handed veteran!:rofl:

[The Troll]

Cool it there buddy! :cool:



Had to figure you'd be the one to notice that comment. :rofl:

[Big Shooter]

this link is even better, shows the aftermath in the scoring tent, where 'supposedly' they 'made nice'.......yah right!

I think mosy players depending on the situation walk 40 yards ahead and more depending on line of sight. Elk should of been still while Bubba addresses the ball etc.. but walking ahead shouldn't be a problem as players do it alll the time.

Good find. Bubba apologized and thats that.

AVONDALE, La. -- Les bon temps did not roule Friday afternoon at the Zurich Classic when Bubba Watson and Steve Elkington had a catfight on the back nine of the TPC Louisiana. Apparently, what happened was this:
Bubba detected some movement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FOySaUc_Rc) while he was trying to play his approach shot from the right rough on the 10th hole. He felt it wasn't the first time Elkington was moving at inappropriate times and unleashed a torrent of expletives, a portion of which was captured by the Golf Channel's microphones.
Afterward, Elkington and Watson settled their differences in the scoring hut. They were playing with Shigeki Maruyama who emerged from the glass-walled tent with his usual smile, bobbing and weaving like Sugar Ray Leonard. "Big problem," Shigeki said as he walked away.
Elkington, who finished the day three shots off Briny Baird's lead of eight under par, left without speaking to the media. Watson, on the other hand, apologized to virtually anyone who wasn't moving, as it were. He said he and Elkington had "hugged it out."
"I want to apologize to everybody in the tournament," Watson said. "Everybody who heard it, whoever saw it, especially Steve and Shigeki and their caddies. I heard something and I took it out on them and shouldn't have done it. I apologize to the tournament, to anybody that's involved in this tournament, all the volunteers, all the caddies, the spectators, the kids that came out here. I'm not like Charles Barkley. I'd love to be a role model. I make mistakes. My mistake was I got angry today.
"Everything's good. He's not mad. He's looking at me like this is like his son, basically. I'm a lot younger, he took me aside and said, 'Look, be strong in what you're doing and make sure you don't do that.' I apologized to him as best I could."

[WDM1980]

I hate it when people move ahead or move at all while you're trying to hit. During a pre-shot routine, some movement is tolerable, as long as people keep quiet.

I actually had a instance where I was sharing a cart with a rookie golfer in the foursome; the other two got sick of waiting on one hole and actually drove to the green while we were at the 150 marker. The group behind saw them on the green and hit into us believing it was clear. I had to restrain myself from wrapping a five iron around their heads; good thing I like my clubs.

Bubba - nice job - it's always nice when a tour player experiences the same issues as us weekend warriors.

[Big Shooter]

I hate it when people move ahead or move at all while you're trying to hit.

I don't worry about it, and I NEVER use it as an EXCUSE, like so many OTHERS do!!?
There are so many distractions, but if you 'zone them out' it shouldn't/doesn't really matter!! :cool:
my 2 cents.

[ryguy]

i like bubba but uncalled for!although elk shouldnt have been moving! undecided i guess!

[golfhacker]

"I'm not like Charles Barkley. I'd love to be a role model."

Now he is going to piss off Sir Charles.

:) Fore the most part, I couldn't agree more. Look what happened to Davis love III:rolleyes: ?

As long as they don't blame me and get mad when I shank one and hit them.:rofl:

He didn't threat bodily harm on anyone...I dont see the Bubba instance anywhere close to the same as Tiger.

[Merlot]

Did Tiger threaten some once before and Bubba plays with Tiger on practice round? What you can miss in a month without TGN!

[Bellyhungry]

Bubba did not threaten bodily harm, but he did make a unwanted advance to Elk by inviting him to kiss his behind.

[bundy316]

Loved it!!! :D

'Veterans' quip from Elk was a jab...and Bubba called him out...

If it was Boo Weekly, the good ole boy coulda dropped a body slam or Stone Cold Stunner on him....:p

[Golden Bear]

Did Tiger threaten some once before and Bubba plays with Tiger on practice round? What you can miss in a month without TGN!That was a big part of the controversy last week with the photographer. Tiger threatened to "beat the %#^" out of the next photographer to take a picture during his downswing.

[Pingnut]

I think Tiger said he would Break their neck.. Tomatoes, Tomatos.

[Golden Bear]

I think Tiger said he would Break their neck.. Tomatoes, Tomatos.Could be -- I didn't hear the actual words. All I read in the media that it was an expletive-filled bodily threat, and someone told me it was what I quoted. You're probably right.

And anyone who says "to-mah-toes" should have their neck broken, in my opinion. :D

[cleveland]

The one thing I haven't heard mentioned is whether or not there will be a fine impossed on Watson. Does anyone know if there is going to be one?

[dekker]

they probably both learned from this.
I don't care if you walk ahead but I won't yell fore either if you do.

[davepratt]

They never publish fine information.

No Love! (Davis) :D

[Merlot]

No Love! (Davis) :D

I wonder if that still plays on his brain regarding how he is percieved by fans/peers after incidents like that. Not to mention the Ryder Cup mishap with Garcia skipping like a little girl:rofl: down the fairway to congratulate Parnevik was it? but as sucky as a full-grown adult, who is one of the best at his profession, can get!

No love here.:rofl:

Would be good to see him play well adn contend for a possible Ryder Cup birth.

No Love! (Davis) :D

When I think about the video footage of Davis, his caddie and maybe an officoal of some sort looking for the guy and threatening to stop play till someone fingers him, I bust a gut.

Then the camera shows a kinda geeky kid who loves Tiger so much he is trying to throw off Davis. It was priceless. It couldn't have been a more pathetic villian for Davis, to look a little foolish .

[cleveland]

Watsons' conduct was poor and T.W.'s worse. Not to excuse either one but compared to cowardly acts like goaltender J.Roys' attack on another who he KNEW was not going to fight back,I can handle a little swearing. It's unfortunate though that our children have to hear and witness their 'heroes,role models' being involved in such incidents. Somewhere some little boy/girl will be using the f word because good ol' Bubba did. p.s. I think Roy is in for a surprise next time those 2 teams meet. :eek:

[Kace]

FYI, Bubba never used the f word.

[cleveland]

FYI, Bubba never used the f word. I was sure he had ,but it was censored a milli-second after the first letter. My apologizes to Bubba and his family for accusing him of being rude! :rofl:

[Kace]

No worries...he did use the V word though, but it's not the V word that would have put him in hot water. :(

[Carlton]

FYI, Bubba never used the f word.

I had my system cranked up and you can hear Bubba drop the F-bomb. Where are you getting your infor from Kace? I probably replayed that scene 10 times to makes sure what I was hearing on the PVR. This was recorded from the live version before they BLEEPed it out.

At what point does he say it? I listened to it on You Tube before I posted that as I was sure that he didn't say it.

If he does, my apologies.

After he complains to Elkington about walking around, Bubba walks towards his caddie to reset his preshot routine/club selection and while he is walking he says "f**ker"

[Kace]

Ahhh, I never heard that, my bad then.

[cleveland]

Ahhh, I never heard that, my bad then. No worries.:)

[Andru]
