What do people think about Perkins' courtesy violation on Nikko?
Click to expand...

I'm a Nikko fan. I've liked him since I started watching dg. I like watching him play as he definitely plays different lines and shapes his shots differently than a lot of other players.

However, having seen his bad behavior before in person in addition to on video, I don't appreciate that aspect of his game. I cringe when something bad happens to a shot of his as I'm concerned about what could be next.

I think that the really sad thing about Perkins making the call was that it seemed to mess up his own game. Nikko seemed to continue on at about the same level, but Nate's game seemed to suffer. It would have to be a stressful situation. I think that making the call was the right thing to do, though.

That's what happens when you're more worried about your competitors behavior than on your own game.

When I saw the actual violation, Perkins just comes off as a tattletale.

We'll have to agree to disagree. :)

If it had been the first/only incident in that round I could see letting it slide. But I believe I heard a few bleeps before that hole. IMO It really does have to stop somewhere... sooner rather than later preferably.

I also disagree with the tattletale asessment as Nate didnt go behind Nikko's back. He said it to his face.

Fair enough, tattletale might not be the right choice of words but it kind of comes off as petty. If he was kicking his bag, hitting the ground, slamming his stool (lol) then sure, call a courtesy.

IDK, Yelling ***K as loud as you can multiple times in the round has to fall into that. Ricky dogs on himself all the time while he's playing, but he just mumbles "terrible" or "garbage" under his breath. He doesn't scream loud enough for other cards to hear him. It was making me uncomfortable just watching him get more and more frustrated, and good on Perkins for calling him for that BS. The reason he gets away with the antics is because other players allow it. I know I get frustrated when I play with people who act like that, and I bet there's people who think it's normal because they're big Nikko fans (I love watching him play BTW.) He even whines about the call instead of just saying fair enough and moving on. I wasn't as frustrated by that interaction as I was when he barks at McCray after he said "nice putt" or whatever, he comes off as very unprofessional.

I completely agree with you, and for what it's worth, I've heard that Perkins and Nikko are friends.

And that outburst after the putt really was quite strange. "Nah man, I don't really wanna, I don't honestly. It's 10 feet for 4, I don't really want to hear it honestly. Sorry, but I don't."
