What the Tour players really think

By Tom Kirkendall

Golf Digest is running in this month's issue the results of an interesting survey that the magazine recently took of 25 of the top PGA Tour players.

Clear Thinkers favorite and longtime Houstonian Steve Elkington scores highly in one of the most important questions:

WHO'S THE BEST JOKE-TELLER ON TOUR?
Todd Hamilton: 17%
Steve Elkington: 13%
Harrison Frazar: 8%
Neal Lancaster: 8%
OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: Paul Azinger, Rich Beem, Tim Clark, Carlos Franco, Paul Goydos, Peter Jacobsen, Peter Lonard, Nick Price, Chris Riley, Boo Weekley

And you have to like the answers to the question "Who would you rather have dinner with, Phil Mickelson or Vijay Singh?"

Phil: 50%
Vijay: 50%
COMMENTS: "What are we eating?" ... "So either I listen to Phil tell me everything he thinks he knows, or I sit with Vijay while he says nothing." ... "Give me a choice!"

But my favorite answer came in the "Others Receiving Votes" category to the question "Who's the Slowest Player on Tour?"

"Any Swede."
