They should retitle this event to the "Phoenix No Drunk Management Open". Good grief! Sam Ryder gets a hole-in-one on the 15th and it takes them 15 or 20 minutes to pick up all the beer cans tossed onto the green and surrounding area. It was a great shot but, really? They can't cheer a player without tossing everything that isn't bolted down on to the course? A drunken spectacle, is what it is...

I'm pulling for Theegala. Go, new guy! Oops! Wife just made me pick up my beer can...

If only more people were familiar with the "Thin man" movies or had read The Sand Pebbles.  They would , at least, appreciate the concept of a well crafted drunk.

Of all the events in the West coast swing, I only know of one event that people from here travel every year to see, Waste Management Open. I think golf needs more events like this.

It’s one hole per year. It’s not my jam but lighten up.

Well if it was Bud Light, I can see why they tossed their cans! I wonder what it smelled like when Horschel and Bubba were putting in the next group. 😜

Well shoot!, I'm gonna do that because I definitely want to know if them Phoenix drunks are well crafted as opposed to your average poorly crafted drunk.! Of course, it may have just been some of that there "legitimate golf discourse".

I don't remember all the trash coming out in previous years. I guess it is this "younger generation" that gets blamed for everything. Fiscally irresponsible - tossing $8 beers 🙂.

* Historians have long noted that the older generation felt like the future is hopeless based on the actions of the upcoming generation. 

Regardless of how "unruly" people got, I would love to be there and be part of the crowd for the hole in one celebration! The two that I have witnessed were not attended by such a rowdy celebration.

As the golfers do not care that they have to wait for the green to be cleaned up for their shots, or they might be walking in beer soaked grass, then I do not care. The PGA tour players are the ones who have to play and accept the actions of the fans by not objecting to it.

It’s one hole, and looks like one hell of a party! People are throwing ten dollar beers like they are peanuts. That’s gotta be some big concession money being made!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
