Me too. It happened to us last week at league night of all things. We were on the green when it happened so we timed it, ran in hit our putt and ran away. My guess is it was some kind of mistake, because the sprinklers didn't run long and it was only on that hole. Usually, if I have to do the run in, hit, run away thing it's because I'm playing an early AM round.
My experience is normally there's at least some warning too. You hear the thing kind of purging the air or what not and you know it's about to go off. Seems like getting blasted mid-swing would be unlikely. ... It might be possible though.
I'm with you. I never want to "see" the commentators talking if at all possible, show me somebody hitting a shot.
I totally agree. I really like watching the Masters on 3 screens. Normally I have Amen Corner, Featured Groups as my baseline on two of the screens. Then I have at least one other feed. I'm often bouncing around on the 3rd screen between different stuff.
I have to confess, I'm bummed about DeChambeau. BUT not surprised.
I've always enjoyed the way he plays the game, he does stuff differently and I think that's good for the game. He also signed a buddy of mine's head cover a few years back and couldn't have been nicer to us.
Having said that, He also often behaves like a big old baby and does some things I simply can't defend. When he berated the camera guy that was ridiculous. When he stomped off the range and buried his head against the wall to cry. That was not only ridiculous, but also weird and made me wonder if there was actually something wrong with him. (More than just being eccentric.) His two minute forty second putt was also non-defendable.
I don't think he's a smart or as "engineering educated" as the media gives him credit for (No where near as smart as he thinks he is). But again, he's interesting and different and I've always argued that those characteristics make him good for the game. So, I was disappointed when he made the jump. BUT I was NOT surprised. I don't think he "gets it". I don't think he does his research on anything as much as he tries to portray himself as this man of study and logic. I think he sees himself as edgy and outside the box, but at the same time he can't read the room for s#it. His comments about vaccination were just embarrassing and I think show a real lack of seeing the big picture. So, I wasn't surprised when he jumped, but I remain disappointed. I've been disappointed in him several times in the past so, I'm getting used to it.
