There is no practical solution except educate the masses towards better civic responsibility. Security, who are in fact usually lowly paid and temporary day workers cannot be expected to wade into a crowd, identify one or more persons, and drag him/them away. All this on the tee box as the next player prepares to drive the green. And then, since they are rascals anyway, the offenders run away, down the fairway thumbing their noses at the tubby security guy running after. Oops, the security man slid down the wet slope on his arse, let's hope the TV screen captured that one. See where all this goes: totally contrary to the gentlemen's game. But hey, modern instant communication and attention seeking facebook and twitter pages demand we present ourselves to the world as 'bigger than life' and deserving of attention. And maybe the golf course, open to all persons who have a ticket, and which may in fact be a state property (Bethpage), or private, may not be insulated from 'free speech' laws. How is anyone hurt or threatened by such speech? Annoyed, sure but so does the loud mouth cell user in the supermarket or rail car annoy us. Can't do a thing except with each entry ticket offer an industrial, sound deadening, pair of ear-muffs.
