I Hate Phil Mickelson

[Long Ball]

How is it that, Phil Mickelson (#1 Tiger Chaser) can't even compete with the field at the Houston Open?

Before you say it, don't tell me he is practicing shots that he needs at the Masters, because thats a bunch of steaming crap. These guys, when they get over the ball, thing about flagging it when ever they can.

Maybe if FIGJAM showed us who he really is, through interviews and TV Appearances, he would be more likeably. The only time you get to see the real Phil Mickelson is when he chokes coming down the stretch.

"I...I am such an Idoit" My favourite golf quote of all time.

[Golden Bear]

I love Phil. I think he's a great guy and a great golfer, and a class act from start to finish. He's awesome. If I wasn't already older than him, I'd want to grow up to be just like him.

You can't be serious. Have you ever met him? He is as phoney as three dollar bill. What do you like about him in specifics?

[sharkhark]

He is great. Classy guy. Lots of sponsors. Enjoys kicking back like me. We even have the same man boob size (well he has been losing weight so.....) We hang out a few times each season, just me, phil, amy and the kids. Its awesome!!!!

Phil Mickelson is a phoney. Heard this from many people who work on the PGA tour. He's a very media-savvy fellow. But that isn't the point of this thread. Just because a player is losing or faring poorly this week, doesn't mean he sucks. We have to admit that some players just aren't clicking on all cylinders this week. It rarely happens that a player wins week in week out. Even the best golfer of all time - TIger Woods - doesn't win each week. He does seem to be near the top regulary, but even he falters sometimes... But hey he is the GREATEST to play the game... :D
I expect Phil to be ready to win the green jacket... He has established a great connection wtih Butch Harmon - things are looking very good.

I have a source that tells me its hard for him to find people to play practice rounds with.

[Snipes5150]

I think this is a bit of a ridiculous thread. The fact that you "hate Phil Mickelson" because of the fact that he "can't compete with the field at the Shell Houston" is a pretty mindless comment. How can you say he's a phoney? A phoney how? That he acts nice in front of the cameras but secretly is a gutless child abuser in his free time? I wouldn't say he's a phoney in that he acts and talks like he's an incredible golfer but doesn't content all that much...he's #2 in the world. You have absolutely no right to say anything negative about him seeing as you, or any of us on here know him.

To be honest I don't feel the need to defend him seeing as I'm not obsessive about him or anything, I just see that comment as colloquial, needless, and just plain dumb.

Don't take it wrong...I'm not trying to start an arguement or anything...it's just my 2 cents.

[Golden Bear]

I have a source that tells me its hard for him to find people to play practice rounds with.Who's your source? For the record, anytime someone on the internet says "I have a source", people roll their eyes and say "sure", because generally the "I have a source" people are making up that source.

But I have a source says otherwise. My source is Fred Couples, who plays practice rounds with Phil and has said publicly that they are good friends and often play practice rounds together. I think Chris DiMarco often plays pratice rounds with Phil, too.

Phil's the best. If I had a son, I'd name him "Phil the Thrill" and tell him to model his life after Phil Mickelson -- hard worker, good family man, generous, classy. I don't have a son, though, so I'm just going to recommend to others that they tell their kids to pattern themselves after Phil.

Don't call your son Phil - He will ended up with the nickname - FIGJAM

I completely agree. Dumb thread. Why are people more concerned with who they don't like then with who they do like? Does it make us feel superior to talk trash about sports stars that we will never have a chance to be as good as?

[Benny]

He wont win the Masters. TOOOOO many short puts are always missed by him

[Long Ball]

I completely agree. Dumb thread. Why are people more concerned with who they don't like then with who they do like? Does it make us feel superior to talk trash about sports stars that we will never have a chance to be as good as?
So what do you recomend, we talk about public golf courses and used 9-Irons on here? Have some balls, start a thread of you own. Because you think its a "dumb thread" doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way.

I thought this was a Forum?

[Golden Bear]

Does it make us feel superior to talk trash about sports stars that we will never have a chance to be as good as?It is a dumb thread, you're right. People love to say "Phil is phoney" ... but they can't REALLY back it up. They just don't like him, so they claim he's a phoney.

I don't care if he's a phoney or not. I don't know him personally, neither does anyone here. Unless we think he beats his wife or tortures his children, who gives a damn if he's rude or arrogant in private? (Not that he is -- that's just the sort of thing people like to say.) We don't know him "in private". We know the public figure, and that public figure is classy, respectful, generous, and a good family man.

So what do you recomend, we talk about public golf courses and used 9-Irons on here? Have some balls, start a thread of you own. He has started many threads of his own. What point are you trying to make? Should he start threads saying "I don't like this player?" He may not have that much time on his hands.

Because you think its a "dumb thread" doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way.
He didn't say they did. But some do. He does, so do I, so does the other poster, and we've said so. Shouldn't we be allowed to say so? In your own words ... I thought this was a forum.

[slightdraw]

Hey Longball, Phil has 2 Masters titles and a PGA title, has shot 59, won his majors with Tiger in the field. Do you hate him because he's fake? Who cares if he's fake, I watch becasue he's a great golfer that makes tons of birdies. Oh and this "jerk" has paid for 3 teenagers college educations, is known as the best tipper on tour ( and Tiger is the worst) and gave away Superbowl tickets!! Do you honestly think he cares about the Houston Open? Maybe a little, but he's already in Augusta in his head.

From your posts, I thought would name your son - Jack Nicklaus :D

Gee, I really like you and all, but I think I've given you the wrong idea ...

I find it a little more interesting to hear from people about who they like and why. If you're going to start a negative thread about a golfer then at least supply some fresh information instead of regurgitating the same old crap thats been said a million times before. I think the 2 most boring mindless statements made on this site is #1 "I hate Phil" and the #2"Leafs suck", #2 is true and takes the clueless without anything better to say to state the obvious an #1 could be true or untrue and is usually stated by the ignorant that really have no idea what Phil is like. Don't believe everything you hear in the media. There are those that simply want to hate someone for the sake of hate.

[grass connoisseur]

the good family man things gets to me- as Phil has several illegitimate kids that you never hear about, according to my sources -who will be covering the Masters next week. Did you ever hear when he was miked at a tournament ?-every bad shot he blames on his caddy.

[Snipes5150]

"Long Ball" - My point is that you have absolutely no ground on which to speak poorly of Phil Mickelson. He's the second best golfer in the world, and you live in Toronto, Ontario and play golf 5 months a year. I can only imagine what he would say about you if he found out what you said/cared

again, not trying to start a fight...just pure speculation.

[Noremac]

Your son is a very lucky man.

To some it wouldn't matter what Phil did. If he was a cheapo tipper they'd hate him for that. If he tips heavy, he's just doing it for the camera/media and is a phoney. When someone hates you for whatever reason or no reason, you can't win.

the good family man things gets to me- as Phil has several illegitimate kids that you never hear about, according to my sources -who will be covering the Masters next week.

Yeah I'm still trying to locate a few of mine.





Did you ever hear when he was miked at a tournament ?-every bad shot he blames on his caddy.

If its true he is the most generous tipper on tour I'd let him blame me for anything he wanted.

Hey if you don't like the thread - don't respond. But apparently you do like this topic & by the amount of time you spent backing Phil, you secertly love.

Hey guys that's why there is chocolate & vanilla. hahahahhahha

Yeah I saw the Super Bowl ticket thing. It was so incredable that a camera crew was there in the exact moment when Bones hand over the tickets. The timing was remarkable. hahahahhahah

Its called good P.R.

If you think I've typed anything that indicates that I've backed Phil then you show a lack of perspicacity.

Its ok to like Phil, just come out of the closet! I don't care if you like Jimmy Mickelson or Peter Mickelson or any other Mickelson, just don't rain on my parade of hating Phil Mickelson.

[SoNgMaN]

i hate you cause you're a hack. does that make you feel better. leave hefty...i mean lefty alone.

Did you ever hear when he was miked at a tournament ?-every bad shot he blames on his caddy.Not true. I've heard Phil cutting himself up after bad shots. Besides, Bones seems pretty fond of Phil. Why are you comlaining about the way he treats his caddy if his caddy doesn't feel mistreated?

[sennawcf1]

Our son? :eek:

Gee, I really like you and all, but I think I've given you the wrong idea ...


:D

Good catch .. I will edit .. I don't think we are having a son :)

[Pingnut]

If you think I've typed anything that indicates that I've backed Phil then you show a lack of perspicacity.

What is this - $10 word day... perspicacity... yeesh :p

And everyone take it easy in this thread please. Poorly vailed personal insults will be deleted. Repeat offenders shall fell Mule's rath.. :nono:

[milhaus]

Now, Now that was kinda of harsh wasn't it.
Nope. I think it was actually quite generous to call you a "hack." Unoriginal hack would be more accurate. Sure, there are lots of threads bashing Phil, for the same, unsubstantiated crap you're spouting here. You could have just added to those, but nope, you thought it was an original idea to cut up Phil.

Have you met him for more than a few seconds? Did he sleep with your wife, or your dog perhaps? Is that why you "hate" him? Because professing to hate someone you don't even know from Jack is pretty vile behavior. . .

No facts to back up any of the claims you're making, and many of the points you've made here have been refuted by others.

hahahahah, Which part of Phil do you love the most, let me guess......... his breasts. hahahahah. But oh no, Phil is losing weight, which means his man boobs are shrinking, what are you going to do.

Don't really mind the personal attacks, I thing they are funny. hahahahhah

[milhaus]

You know, it is even funnier that you would send me a PM that states: "I would own you on a golf course, ah just for the record though."

It shouldn't be surprising that your virulent comments have spurred these responses, but I don't really find the idea of "hating" someone very funny at all. That's not very generous of you. That's all I'm saying . . .

Snipes,

Standing up for Phil as you are in this case is equally foolish. You ALSO KNOW NOTHING about Phil - and he doesn't care either way. You are better off to not commenting and let threads like this die if you think they are pointless. Phil doesn't need you to protect his integrity, which you seem far too eager to do. So in essence you are starting a fight and to use your words its all "pure speculation.":rolleyes:

[Big Shooter]

I'm a Phil-fan, not much of a Tiger-fan, though golf-wise he's the better! ;)

[Golden Bear]

You know, it is even funnier that you would send me a PM that states: "I would own you on a golf course, ah just for the record though."

Don't jump to conclusions. He may be offering to sponsor you ... the way KPMG "owns" Phil, Nike "owns" Tiger, Hooters "owns" Daly.

[Bellyhungry]

So much aggression, so little compassion.....You all need to do one of the below:

- Play some golf
- Eat a hearty meal
- Get laid
- Buy new golf gear

[Golden Bear]

So, we're all agreed, then? Phil's a great guy?

Good stuff.

Okay, next topic:


"I hate Roy McAvoy".

He seems phoney to me. Made an idiot of himself going for the green in the U.S. Open.

I guess I'm not owned. I didn't get a pm.

I guess I'm not owned. I didn't get a pm.Me neither, but that's because we're both Tour Pros.

I hate Danny Noonan. Who's with me?

I disagree completely - I never once said "that's not true, Phil is actually a nice guy" or "no, Phil's not like that...he's...so and so, etc". The only things I mentioned specifically about him is that he's #2 in the world, and that's not something you can argue.

Hey Golden Bear, when Phil comes over to your house do you shave or wax his bikkini line for him? hahahahahaha

No you didn't explicitly say anything !!!
But what you did no by entering a discussion someone who dislikes Phil was to argue that the other person "couldn't know" anything about Phil's personality, character, etc. But what you did do is make an IMPLICIT argument for Phil. You came to Phil's defence.

Let me quote your first post -

" I wouldn't say he's a phoney in that he acts and talks like he's an incredible golfer but doesn't content all that much...he's #2 in the world."

The way I read this, it sounds like you are defending him.

So lets learn to think about what we say before contradicting others..;)

[Long Ball]

"I...I am such an Idoit" My favourite golf quote of all time. Is hate really the word to discribe a person who you've,never met,probably have no idea what kind of father/mother,husband/wife,son/daughter,etc.that person might be? Life is too short to have negative, or for that matter positive, feelings for a complete stranger. Simply ignore him and you'll be a happier person. Maybe he'll catch on and ignore you as well. :)

I usually let these type of threads go on but the way this one is turning out, it has very little to no contribution to anything at all. Locked, let's move on.
