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!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
