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!

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
