Did anyone hear that guy yell out "Come on.. TERRIBLE read." on the CBS coverage of the AT&T; National on what I think was the 15th hole or so on Sunday after Tiger woods putt? I remember thinking how rude it was and what those guys on tour must have to put up with, particularly Tiger. I'm constantly shocked at the lack of humility that comes with being an average golfer. Wondering if anyone else heard it...

the mean spirited yelling and baffoonery has gotten out of control. The fans are best behaved at the Masters and on the Euro Tour.

oh, sorry, that was me. i was off outside the crowd and got into a heated debate over whether or not "the scarlet letter" was a masterpiece or not. i felt it was terrible.

no, really. i didn't catch that, but people need to learn some f'n manners. i saw a video awhile back where vijay was hitting a shot over water, and some guy in the crowd, right as vijay was swinging down, yelled something like PUT IT IN THE WATER VIJAY.

even the commenters were like, wow. some people just have no class.

I'm never surprised over the amount of stupid things people say. Sadly, golf has become more and more a stage of this yelling. Now, I like emotions when something great is going on, but all the "get in the hole" comments I'd rather be without.

another was at doral when someone yelled "get in the water" after phil's tee shot on 18. what a d*ck.

i remember that, and good ol Johnny Miller seemed to be OK with that saying "

well, this is a sporting event " or something to that effect when the other announcer said that person needs to be thrown out....

this sort of thing must have been common last week as i remember when tiger hit a shot into a par 3 (i forget which one) and someone yelled 'youre a freak'! now this was probably in good nature but it wouldnt take a lot for someone to take it the wrong way!

Yeah...I heard it...and I'd like to say "I can't believe it"...but with all of the stupid people out there in the world, it's hard to be surprised anymore.

Who are these idiots that go to a golfing event, but don't respect the game? I figured maybe one of the announcers was going to say something but they either didn't hear it or more likely are as tired as the rest of us of hearing this crap!

OK, so let's all agree that next time we're at an event and hear someone say something like that, we'll turn to him or her and say (loudly enough to be detected by any nearby mike),
"You, Sir, are an idiot!".

What is it about these (relatively few) people at golf events? What would make people want to make themselves look like such dolts?

I heard it -- whoever shouted it made himself look like an idiot, because the read was not terrible at all. In fact, the guy shouted it right after the ball left the putter face, so it's obvious he was just trying to get a Tiger reaction - jerk.

Sometimes I wonder if it's just the fact that there are now so many more, and more sensitive, microphones all over the courses during tournaments to pick up these ridiculous comments. There's an easy way to fix this - turn the mics off.

As a possible alternative solution, I think the tourney out in Phoenix(?) has inadvertently stumbled onto something with their stadium 16th hole par 3, where rowdiness is encouraged. Let all the shouters have their hole, and leave the rest of the course respectful.

I doubt it's the microphones. It seems pretty obvious to me that manners degrade more and more with every generation.
