[video]http://youtu.be/vX5oeaHs2pM[/video] This slipped under the radar, but on Tuesday evening, Golf Channel looped video of a manic Oak Hill crowd trying to get a Tiger Woods autograph -- giving autographs seems to be a dangerous practice these days. When I first casually glanced at the sequence, it looked like Woods gave the group a pump fake, walking over to stir things up and then leaving while laughing and pointing his finger at all the crushed hopes and despair left behind. But no, Tiger was dodging a barricade that was quickly coming down thanks to the stampeding mass (via Weston Happ):

Tiger's take on this from SBnation.com apparently there was a kid up front scared. She was just on the ground crying," he told reporters. "People get so aggressive for autographs. And security is trying to be aggressive to protect the little kids up front. You try and sign, but sometimes the adults start running over the little kids up front, and especially on a fence like that, on a hard fence, it can get dangerous sometimes."

Ya I saw that. Pretty sad that adults can't act like adults any more. Well its the same crowd yelling mashed potatoes, so its not surprising.

These dumbasses don't even keep the autographs, they turn around and sell them on ebay.

At the 2009 President's Cup, Tiger finished signing autographs and you can imagine the crowd that built. Poor Anthony Kim follows and he has to deal with that crowd and so many people kept dogging AK for an autograph. There were two sides, and the other side not getting autographs were saying stuff like "C'mon AK, I know you can turn around and sign my flag." If I were Kim, I would just finished signing a few more and walk back to the clubhouse.

I've never been big on getting autographs because they just end up collecting dust in the closet or storage somewhere. But it amazes me how people are just to get one.

Best Regards,
Ryan
