WTF!?!? Whoever posted this… you may wanna take it down…
Misleading title. Clickbait. This is a great man and competitor. Shame on Golf Icons for posting this.
How many times did the narrator say unwavering…30?
Your click bait title just lost you a subscriber. Best of luck.
It is a crime that a hack like you would use that word to describe a great golfer and hall of fame.
What a waste of my time.
Title is nothing but shameless click bait…….nothing in here that people didn't already know and certainly no "crimes"…….slow play on the weekend at the club can be a problem……but apparently the the PGA doesn't care that much…..more TV advertising time they can sell………just sayin'……..
Crimes? Fuck that title. Click bait.
More click bait Shite !!!
Bad video. Too dramatic. Ray Floyd was a great golfer. Let it be.
How can you tube allow this sort of dribble on its sight.
I stopped watching this. The title is disrespectful to Ray Floyd.
If I was Floyd I would sue this stream. Hardly crimes and misleading title.
2nd one of these 'CLICK BAIT" BLA BLA BLA never provides any real infromation about the later years. tried the same thing on Watson. The only thing that is clear is that they are old now.
Shit Babble!!!
Ray is truly unwavering
Click bait. Don’t bother.
Raymond Floyd is a legend. Super great competitor with awesome skills, and yes, he was one golfer that you followed very closely.
I can't believe over 400 people liked this video. The title of this video seriously misleading. I'd be surprised if it didn't result in legal action.
Wow, you sure don't know Mr. Floyd! It is amazing to me what people will do to make a buck! Don't worry, I won't be subscribing!
Since when is slow play a crime?
whole pile of crap..not accurate in intro…very annoying
This video has wasted more time which is ironic as the "crime" referenced is Floyds slow play, nothing else, no gambling, no cheating, just a bit of Patrick Cantlay lining up of putts… for that a massive clickbait thumbs down from me. No subscription either.
You’re a talentless hack and a moron. You do not deserve to decry a legend.
Also, you’re moronic in your approach in how you have approached this and shouldn’t have ever labeled this criminal.
This Headline is a trap just for clicks Ray didn't commit any real crimes and this content creator needs a smack for his crimes like using a Golf American Icons Legacy and using the word crimes next to Raymonds name to get you to jump on it is clever for the Brits who created it but for me ill catch up with this guy and get him to understand how baiting your hook is always risky. Raymond did not commit any crimes and his Legacy will be remembered because of heartbreaks and his Stare that made him iconic 4 majors.
Headline is nothing but clickbait
A lot to do about nothing!
