Need to go back to no fans at tournaments. The idiots are back with a vengeance.

U sit in your living room watching golf on mute? 🤣


Living room?   About the only time golf is on is during the week when I’m in my home office.  It makes a nice screen saver.  
 

Life is too short to waste my weekends watching golf.  Maybe when I’m 90 and in a nursing home it will seem like a good choice!

I think that they should have an abundance of plain cloths security that can grab these yelling dunces by the neck and throw them out the nearest gate. 

 

Once word got out that this is how they're handled the issue it would be largely self correcting. 

They should throw them out, and have police give them a sobriety test as soon as they are outside the gate. A nice night in the drunk tank would do wonders for their behavior.

Agree. Never understood the double standard.  You can get drunk in a bar and get pulled over in the parking  lot.  But for some reason sporting events , or restaurants are off limits.   You can walk out sauced and nobody bats an eye.  Watch the coverage. Every idiot there is holding two beers.  You could write 5k dui s I gaurantee it.

You guys all sound like you’d be a lot of fun at parties. Listen, you’re never going to catch me yelling anything loud enough to be heard on camera, but is it really that abhorrent? You guys make it sound like every hole on The PGA Tour is 16 at The Waste Management.

Maybe not every hole at every event, but yesterday at Innisbrook was simply obnoxious.

 

I seem to remember this became worse following the popularity of Howard Stern's radio show and that some of the lines used ad nauseum by the idiots attending tournaments originated there? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be connected somehow.

I don't know man, I distinctly remember watching golf in the late 90's and early 2000's with buddies, and remarking on this same level of idiotic shouts.

I mean specifically the “don’t hit it in the water” I’ve never heard that level of idiocy. And I grew up going to the waste management.. haha

So, here’s the answer...

 

 

Just like you can go to a ballgame and sit in seats where behavior, relative to the nature of the sport, is in keeping with manners expected around families and upstanding members of society (regardless of if you actually are one or not ; )

 

You can also sit in the equivalent of the “bleacher bum” section of Yankee stadium.

 

In golf, they will have designated areas, they can be marked with line, like how hazards are marked, where all the drunk fools can congregate and yell their lungs out. They can be marshaled from hole to hole like a cattle herd of idiots and their areas can be far enough away from the players and civilized fans to be tolerated and mocked from a distance.

In my opinion. Yes. It is. It’s a clear barometer to the world around us. People have no decorum , class or concern for their actions or its effects on others . 
 

a party is a private affair.  Get naked and play twister and it’s ok.  In public it’s not. 

none of this should be difficult to comprehend, but i guess it is for some folks, regardless ...

Cross-referencing GolfWRX threads would be an interesting study of cognitive dissonance.  

 

Person A:  Golf is a gentleman's game with many long-standing traditions, customs, and norms, and we should expect people to follow them.  We shouldn't be so quick to do away with them.

 

Person B:  Ok boomer.  Why are you so rigid and afraid of change?  Don't you want golf to be more inclusive so we can 'grow the game'?

 

--------------------

 

Person B, different conversation:  Golf tournaments are classy events, not some frat party, and these "mashed potatoes" screaming a-holes should be drug off the property and beaten to a pulp.  

 

Person A:  Obviously, I agree...but...uh...

These last two tournaments have been pretty bad with the “look at me” guys. Reminds me of high schoolers in a mall food court. Can you imagine how sick the players must get week in and week out?

I despise social media, but I seem to remember these shouts just as frequently before it's prominence. 

 

I think it began with a guy at a tournament telling his buddies watching on tv at home "Hey, I'm going to yell "Mashed Potatoes!, Baba Booey, or what have you". Listen for it."

 

And the rest is history.

 

Ya! Down with all online platforms that allow people to have a profile and communicate with other likeminded people!
