It has been said that golfer Raymond Floyd was somewhat arrogant. It makes the following story quite believable.
David Feherty does a standup show that is quite spectacular. It's all about his life in golf, the drinking and lots of stories about life on the tour. Here's one of his stories...
It was back in the 70s and a soon-to-be prominent golfer Ray Floyd was playing at Augusta for his first Masters. Back then the players could not bring their own caddies but had to use one of the locals. Floyd told the caddy master he wanted a big fellow who could handle his bag, but who also would keep quiet, no advice needed. When they met, the caddy who was assigned Floyd said, "Hello Mr. Floyd".
Floyd said "Hello." And followed that with, "That's the last I want to hear from you." Everything went well until the 10th hole when Floyd pushed his drive into the right trees on the Par 4. After surveying the scene he said out loud, "I'm going to hit a low fade out through that opening to carry and land mid green…then it will roll over the crest down near the hole." Surprisingly, he pulled it off exactly as predicted, then turned to his caddy and said, "So how's that for a shot?" The caddy spoke for the first time and said, "That wasn't your ball."

I dont want to sound like some kind of liar, but have met him and his son on a few occasions. Heard some stories about Raymond Floyd, maybe this was in his younger days. To me honestly I never saw any of this. He was a super nice guy, more than polite, very genuine, honest, and very likable. Also met his Son Ray Jr., played at the Doral Jr. with him back in 92, and still have the golf ball he gave me that says R. Floyd. Ray Jr. was also great. In 96 at the Masters it was just me Ray Floyd and his caddie on the Par 3 course, and I filmed some of it on my camera, while I sat and watched him chip, he was so good on those super fast greens.
