Probably didn’t help that Brooksey offered a case of beer to those ousted for heckling Bryson. Shows how low standards have fallen when folks will act like a fool for Michelob Ultra.

As someone mentioned above, the Waste Management tournament has set the standard for boorish behavior.  Throw alcohol into the mix, and you get what we have today. 

Here's an honest question though.  Should the tour implement their version of baseball's 7th-inning stretch?  That is no beer after the 7th inning.  And I think football has banned alcohol sales after the 3rd quarter.  How would the tour even implement something like this?  Does it even make sense?

That's different. That's invited, expected, etc.

They already do that.

This isn't only happening on the last two holes of a golf tournament.

dzjc.... I won't even watch the Wasted Management Open.  I haven't for a couple years.  Why should I be entertained, and yes... that is what it supposed to be, "entertainment"... by a bunch of 17 year old drunks desperate to have someone notice them by screaming "in the hole" at every opportunity.  I can also record the tourney and put in mute, see the interesting parts (if there are any) and avoid many/most of the drunks behavior.  Works for me.  Skip over the ads too....

I think fan interaction is good, just not all interaction is good.  Not everything at the WM is bad.  The hard part is defining & enforcing a reasonable line and some people simply do not know/care where the line is.  To me Booing when they miss the green at the WM is fine, getting loud when the player encourages it is fine. Throwing beer cups onto the course, hurling personal insults, etc. is not cool.

FWIW, they are much older than 17 at the Waste Management. They are just acting 17.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
