  1. What I mean is, Tiger Woods has the best golf ability of all time ever. However, he is also in extremely good physical shape, so, although he has the top spot in golf ability, his physical fitness is also very good, not bad, so his ratio is nowhere near the most severely inverted.

    What I'm looking for is, which golfer has the most positive units golf ability per negative units lack of fitness ratio in all of golf.

    For example, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh both have slight pot bellies, as well as "bitch tits", yet still have extremely high golf ability, not as good as Tiger, but still way up there, so they would be wayyyyyy way higher on the golf ability to negative physical fitness inverted ratio rankings compared to Tiger for example. Maybe one of the two of them is the correct answer to this thread even, although, I don't know enough about golf to know if there are some guys who are considerably flabbier/in shittier physical fitness than them that are almost as good in golf ability as them, and thus have them beat for the top spot of most extreme golf ability to negative physical fitness inverted ratio in the world, which is why I'm asking.

    Also, remember, the golf ability is still half of the equation. So obv it can't be someone like John Daly, since altho he might have been near the very most extremely physically unfit of all the golfers, his golf ability isn't as high as some of the other golfers that were almost as unfit as him but had better career averages etc.

    So, I'm looking for the one that has the most super duper high amount of golf ability/success with the most super duper bad amount of fitness/flabby/shitty physical shapeness in the world, basically.

    I don't follow golf, but I know a lot of you guys follow it religiously, and probably know some good answers for this, so I'm curious (I find it funny/interesting whenever there is a person who is absurdly out of shape, yet ridic alien-good at golf, so I've always been curious which one exemplified this to the most extreme extent, basically).
  2. Maybe it's Nicklaus. He was pudgy.

  8. Tiger Woods after a tournament round was walking by the clubhouse bar where John Daly was taking a few back. John saw Tiger and yelled over "Hey Tiger come have a drink with me." Tiger kindly responded "John I have to go to the practice range and if I had half the natural talent you did I'd come in and have one with you."

    When asked about it later Tiger said he was being honest, and has many times said that Daly is by far the best natural golfer on the course at most tournaments.
  9. Yea, I think people are confusing what I meant by "golf ability" though.

    I didn't mean "golf talent". I meant the combination of golf talent into actual success/results. So, in terms of pga wins or whatever Daly isn't nearly as high as some other guys who are in similarly bad, or maybe even worse shape than him, but with better actual career results.

    Like, I get that if this guy was skinny maybe he'd be better than Tiger, but, I'm not caring about "potential" if in actual real life it hasn't translated into the results yet.

    It has to be a person who, altho super fat/flabby/shitty shape has sick talent AND sick results (sicker than Daly (unless in even way shittier shape than Daly then maybe even if not sicker results than Daly would surpass him on the inversion ratio list thing or whatever)

    Ture, but I have read that he was a tremendous athlete in HS and was offered a football scholarship by Woody Hayes (insert 10000 Ohio State SUKKKS that doesn't mean nuttin but he's to slow fo da SEC comments here). Was kind of pudgy though.
  13. how many people have sicker results than daly?

    He's won 2 majors, 9 tournaments on the 3 major tours.

    Quit trying to act like the easy answer isn't the right answer.
  14. I almost got hit by John Daly one year at Firestone. We were standing behind the second tee, which is on a hill up past the end of the driving range. As we were waiting for the next group to come through, you heard the hiss of an incoming golf ball, then it hit on the tee. About 30 seconds later, here came another one.

    "It's Daly!" someone exclaimed, and you could see him in the distance through the trees.

    He swung and about 10 seconds later, another one coming in. It was weird because you had no way of knowing whether the ball was lined up with the base of skull. A marshal got on his walkie-talkie and yelled "Make him stop!"

    So he stopped.
  15. nicklaus got recruited for football and his grandson was/is a highly touted TE if I recall correctly.

    Correct answer has to be Stadler/Daly.
  16. Billy Mayfair or Tim Herron are other possibilities.

    this and wtf is the point of this thread anyway?
  18. I don't know what majors mean. I just looked on his wikipedia and it said he only had like 5 pga wins, so I thought that's pretty low compared to lots of other fat golfers. The Walrus guy someone posted earlier had way more pga wins. So for right now wouldn't that guy already be in the lead, unless there's someone with an even more insane crappy physical shape to pga wins ratio?

    I dunno, I think you might have thought I was joking when I said I don't know anything about golf.

    I have no clue about it, and I always thought it was just whoever had the most pga wins has the best golf results, 2nd most pga wins is second best results, and so on. I assume majors means a win in a pga tourney that is more famous or something? Seems like that would be a less reliable way to measure results tho, since it's such a small sample size, so if someone with not very many pga wins gets sick positive variance during majors he could be ranked way high on majors but not be all that special in total pga wins and then would be overrated or something if people put to much emphasis on majors.

    That said, I have no idea how many majors there are per year, or what any of all this shit is, so I might be totally wrong I dunno (this is me hinting that it would be helpful if you could explain it in a way that someone who knows nothing whatsoever about golf could understand (as in, I'm not saying I disagree with you, you are probably totally right, all I'm saying is that I know nothing about golf, so, for someone like me who knows nothing about golf, either you need to explain it in a way that shows why his results to fitness ratio is the most extreme of anyone, or else I won't understand, since I'll just look at pga wins or something like a n00b since I don't know about golf, so, basically just explain it in a more simple/golf-n00b-friendly way basically))

    It's not that John Daly isn't great, it's that he isn't that fat, sloppy, or disgusting IMO

    Yea he has a big beer belly and his weight at times has gotten way out of hand but he's also a really big, strong, and super flexable guy.

    The Walrus is far better in relation to his build and athleticism but he's not the answer either.

    Laura Davies is
  20. there is a black kid who plays mini tours right now named Kevin Hall. he's deaf, so maybe him

    Reason: black tho...prolly a sick athlete
  21. While I don't have anything like the all-round knowledge many of you seem to, Daly gets my vote. Looks like a tub of goo and fucking mashes it every time. Pity he can't stay disciplined.
  22. ok here's the deal

    Craig Stadler played nearly every week for 20 years to get those results.

    Daly played half the time and half drunk the entire time and had similar results.

    Majors are the tournaments that mean the most, where pros try the hardest, on the hardest courses, with all of the elite pros playing. Most of the weekly tournaments have 1/3 of the top 15 playing in them and they are easier to win.
  23. Holy shit lol, I just googled Laura Davies. This can't be real

    In that case I guess it's probly pretty close between them. Sounds like Daly has twice as much ability maybe, but Stadler looks twice as out of shape, so kind of a coinflip.

    Unless there's someone even more ridic looking than either of them with similar results (I hope so, cuz for some reason i find it awesome when there's someone who practically wheelchair-fat that is somehow raping golf).

    I remember seeing some pics a few years ago when I first came on here of various poker players who were supposed to be really good at golf, and some of them looked even fatter/more shittily out of shape than even this Walrus guy, so I wondered what the most extreme case is as far as decent pro golfers go. It's just a perverse fetish thing about golfers, I can't rly explain it lol

    Build/results ratio won't be challenged if you try for eternity.
  25. David Duval is the opposite example. The more fit he became, the worse his game sucked.

    thats because he got vertigo not because he got more fit

  27. Kevin Stadler was one that came to mind besides the obvious John Daly.

  28. John Daly is the correct answer. He is more talented than Tiger and if he would have put forth the same effort to golf that he did to gambling, drinking, eating, smoking and getting married, we would be talking about him challenging Jacks records. Daly hits about as many range balls in a year that Tiger hits in a day and he still won 2 majors. Regrets much?
  29. wow you don't know what a major is and you're making a golf thread?
  30. It's 100% Daly, but I'll take the opportunity to post this anyways
