I know we said "โaim small miss small" in my Nike blade thread but itโs not working for everyone.
Faldo zings Rickie
- Edited
Does anyone here (or anywhere) really give a flying squirrel shit what Faldo says? I doubt Fowler does.
Obviously I don't see the ads you guys do so have no idea if it's excessive. Not sure how it could be so, it can't take long to film and ad surely? What little of RF I have seen (PGA Tour coverage is notorious for only showing players at the top of the leaderboard, even in Majors) he doesn't look comfortable on the course. Maybe working on (and through) swing changes to make himself more competitive?
I don't know for sure but if so, considering Faldo went through a couple of iterations of that process that led him to several Major wins, I'd expect him to be more ... understanding. Also, given his life experience of unfriendly media - he once thanked them "from the heart of my bottom" while collecting the Claret Jug ... poacher turned gamekeeper for me.
Maybe he's being prompted to be a bit more "controversial" (golf commentary/punditry is notoriously bland); let's see if he targets more than just Fowler in the coming months.

He has won about $450,000 this year golfing and
he gets 9 to 10 million a year in endorsements/commercials.
I could get by on that - maybe.

We all can talk...visualize ... and think, but to be what we criticize don't we first have to walk?
I prefer to like ALL attempts, especially at the toughest game ever invented.
That is why I play the game.

But, did these guys become golfers at that very young age, hoping to be good enough when they get older to turn Pro and get huge endorsements? Or did they learn the game, suffer along the way, working their asses off, to become the best player ever? Right now, RF is just another (overhyped from the beginning)golfer that has won a few(very few) tournaments, much like many on tour.
When the game goes to hell, so will the off course money. Then what?....has been????(but filthy, stinking rich, of course)
Sir Faldo walked back his criticism and offered an apology of sorts. I'm thinking Nickie found out the golf community at large wasn't amused and Rickie Fowler has more fans 'out there' than he does...

Lose the dorky hat and porn star 'stache, do something about the unibrow and dress more conservative. Do it, and you will win.
Rickie is killin it... Multimillionaire... Has a killer wife..
I am sure he gives Zero Effes about Sir Nick or his opinion.
He is probably more worried about Tiger...
