Is DJ the "new" VJ?

[playa]

VJ is more like Dirty Harry, he can't remember if he took six shots or five.

[KirkNo-yes]

DJ seems a decent person on the surface.

 

VJ doesnt, and isnt a nice person as far as I've seen, especially in public.

 

I've talked to VJ before. I've seen him interact with the public a few times. There's nothing wrong with VJ.

well there you have it. Definitive proof!

 

I have been fortunate enough to have been around quite a few tour players and VJ is the only one who has made me feel uncomfortable to stand around and listen to how he berated someone ( his caddy).

 

We were in Qatar at the Qatar masters on the range and VJ was working on something ( don't remember what). He was having his caddy say whether or not he did something or other. His personal trainer Joey was there and both of them them were just being such a ***** to his caddy. From my standpoint the caddy was doing what he asked him but it was like VJ wanted to belittle him for no reason. Who knows what was going on. All I know is me and about 5 other guys on the range including a few bigger named pros moved down the range and to the putting green to get away from him because he was getting LOUD. His trainer was the one who was acting more condescending than anyone really. VJ just yelled at the guy.

Basically confirms what I've always thought of VJ. Seems like he has a chip on his shoulder.

[Christosterone]

I did not get into deeply personal issues on my breakdown other than my observations as an outsider regarding VJ's tendency toward the Michael Jordan/Tiger Woods chip on their shoulder....

 

i think a chip on the shoulder bears mentioning in another breakdown...understanding this is derived from my opinions and sensibilities

 

----------------------------------------

Chips On Shoulder:

***Tiger Woods: took great offense at many things and would furiously apply that to his ambition to be the GREATEST....see Steven Ames

***Michael Jordan: he would read an op ed piece in the Milwaukee Journal and use it as fodder to light a fire in him against the Knicks...

***Jack Nicklaus: was so incensed by Arnie's army calling him "Ohio Fats" and "Fat Jack" he lost 40 pounds and obsessively drove to best his Masters record.

***Larry Bird: was an all time sh*t talker and felt he was always overlooked because of his color

***Joe Montana: took offense at the NFL combine when he read a scouts assistants comment that he threw "a wobbly spiral" which would lack accuracy...

***Ted Williams: was mad at the us government, the Red Sox media and Red Sox fans yet was the greatest hitter that ever lived...

***Ty Cobb: top of the hill probably on all-time chips on their shoulder

***Muhammad Ali: whether he was a draft dodger or moralist I'll never know but he was easily offended and used perceived slights to drive his ambitions.

***Greg Norman: one of, if not the greatest all around players of his generation, he was snake bitten...he used that for fuel but sometimes set himself ablaze

***Secretariat: that horse was a cocky a-hole....my dad met him and secretariat refused to give him an autograph or talk to him at all

***Ben Hogan: Johnny Miller approached him at the US Open when he had achieved low amateur and Mr. hogan told him to "get outta here, I'd rather have a conversation with my soup"

***Nolan Ryan: he would throw gas at his son in a father-son game if his son was crowding the plate

***Barry Bonds: my favorite baseball swing of all time behind Williams and he was pissed to see someone he regarded as less talented(Sosa and McGuire) garner more attention than him...he changed that narrative by eclipsing the home run record...for better or worse I'll never know...

***Lee Trevino: his chip on the shoulder was more a belief he didn't belong…1971 proved he did belong...as the son of a gravedigger he knew well how to cope with difficult circumstances...on the course, he was an assassin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urdUwammrEM another great one:

---------------------------------------------

Non Chips All Time Greats:

***Arnold Palmer: guy was easily the coolest human to ever play golf...and the nicest with only Lord Byron competing with him in that arena

***Wayne Gretzky: I can't say for sure he was nice if u were an opponent but he seemed awesomely cool and easy going...ironically dj's dad in law

***Roger Staubach: I've met him and he was as kind as he was amazing...

***Babe Ruth: growing up as an orphan gave him great perspective and saw him play with abandon and fun while being the GOAT

***Byron Nelson: Lord Byron was a simple Texan with a fixed moral compass..had hogans number as Ben was awestruck by the man and his game...hogan and demaret routinely got curb stomped by a retired Nelson and Bobby Jones throughout the 40s each year at Augusta on Tuesday of the masters...

***Phil Mickelson: say what you want about Phil but he appears to be a nice human despite being one of the top 10 golfers to ever lace it up

***Tom Watson: seemed a genuinely nice guy on the course...at least to Jack and Trevino

 

 

I could go all day but my fingers tire on this stupid iPad
