anyone hear apple's f-bomb?

[niblick]

On the 18th at the Shell this weekend after hitting his approach into the water, Stuart Appleby let out an emphatic f-bomb, which was captured in all it's HD glory. The announcers didn't acknowledge it, but it was plain as day.

I know he'll probably get fined. And if there was ever a situation to be ticked off about a bad shot, that was it. It's not the first time he's done it though. I really like Apples, but I think he could have behaved better.

The video is posted here.

If the video was there, I sure couldn't find it.

How could you miss it? If you had the tournament on and were at all paying attention you couldn't miss it. It was loud and the camera was right on him. I imagine this thread will replace the "Sergio spit in the cup" thread from last week. The only thing Appleby might have going for him here is his accent.... but yeah, even with that it was pretty clear.

Scroll down. It's right there.

I thought it was my imagination.

How does the TOUR treat it if a player swears in a foreign language? I occasionally swear in Chinese after a bad drive. Of course, I'm not even remotely close to TOUR quality, so I don't have to worry.

I continue to be surprised how the networks can pretend to be surprised when they stick a long-range microphone in a player's face after a shot goes bad.

What to they expect to hear, exactly?

Golly gee whiz?

Thanks. Had it been a snake, it might have bitten me.

BTW, that looks like a pretty good website.

I agree 1000%. If they don't want to hear the odd swear word keep the microphones out of range.

It's not as clear though as the F-bomb one of the Red Sox players dropped on live TV after winning the world series two years ago.

I also totally agree. While it is their job to represent the sport with integrity, emotions can get the best of us all. Give me a break... they had the camera zoomed in on him well after the ball went in the water. It was if they were looking for a reaction. Well, they got it.... and funny as hell that the announcers didn't say a thing about it but made such a big deal over the Garcia incident last week.

I don't think it's funny at all. Every time I play golf and I play a lot of golf I will hear someone swear. But in all my years I have NEVER seen anyone drop a golly in to the hole.

Relax... I didn't mean it like that. If you saw the Garcia incident live, they didn't say anything about it then either. Johnny Miller started to say something and then stopped himself. The funny thing is I think they want to pretend they didn't see/hear it. I've said many times (in the Garcia thread) that his actions were uncalled for. It's disgusting. However, after I imagine people called in they talked about the Garcia incident a lot and even interviewed him about it. I'm not saying they shouldn't have but there wasn't even a mention of Appleby. Perhaps because it was so close to the end of the tournament.
