To bad the PGA hasn't figured out that rowdy drunks chanting "Victor, Loser" over and over is not "good" for the game.  What is the issue with removing abusive fans?  Is the PGA that stupified that they are afraid of throwing drunks?  Is the PGA proud of that?

Lighten up. This isn't a golf tournament it's a team event not unlike any other. If the cheering and rowdy behavior bothers you, turn it off and wait for the Masters.  Definitely not for the country club "Get off my lawn" crowd!

I agree to an extent. The comment about a player being a loser isn’t a big deal. I am all for ribbing the Euros but be clever more than obscene. Kids are still there watching.

I do like that the crowd is doing “Whooooaaa!” during the practice swings on the first tee. It’s fun and lightens thing up. I don’t like cheering for missed putts and bad shots though.

None of it bothers me - like others have said, this is a totally different animal where the ribbing and gamesmanship is more of less expected.  I don’t believe any of the players take it personally, it’s all in the spirit of fun. But I do see & appreciate your point that there is a difference between celebrating your own teams success and celebrating to the opponents’ failures.

I do think dead silence on bad shots and missed putts would be more fun! 😜

Really enjoy watching the chit chat between Gannon and Maltbie. It’s so nice to watch them talk. I can’t imagine showing anything more interesting.

I'm hoping to see the same BMW commercial at least 77 more times before the conclusion of coverage today. FFS already

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

This coverage is pathetic. Bryson just drove it 417 yds on a par 5 and they didnt even show it to us.

There's only 16 players on the golf course. FFS.

Here's the drive if you still haven't seen it. I love how the cameraperson is looking way behind where ball landed, expected it to be much shorter, lol. Love that recoil.

Should Brooks have gotten relief from that drainage ditch?

It looked like his through-swing / divot went right through it?

After the fan behavior this week, I hope Wisconsin never gets another golf tournament.

"I don’t like cheering for missed putts and bad shots though."  Agreed.  That's not the game I learned over 40 years ago.

Question about Spieth's shot at #17 - how does that ground not fall down during the first bad storm?  Is it reinforced?

So based on that logic then everything in your golf bag is the same as 40 years ago right? Nothing about your game or equipment has changed or evolved in the last 40 years?

The euro fans will travel no matter where it is.

Not my sense of what's right and what's wrong.  That's still pretty much intact.😊

I don't own a golf bag anymore.  Injuries made me give up the game.  But, I still love it.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
