Until you've yelled out stupid phrases in public, you haven't lived.

It means that you MASHED it, as in crushed it.  Like a mashed potato. I think yelling during events is stupid.  But that's what it means.

I've come to the conclusion that most of you have a stick up your butt, and if I am ever to attend a professional golf event I will, in fact, yell stupid phrases after tee shots just to spite you.

I really try not be an a-hole or have a stick up my butt but go to The Masters a couple of times and you will not be able to stand any other golf tourney.  ANGC demands the fans (patrons) be respectful to each other, players, and staff.  Other tournaments could do the same thing but dont have the balls.  Personally, I think it is childish and rude to do all this yelling crap.  I am not saying that it should be totally quiet, but yelling is just dumb.  Someone looking for their 15 minutes.  If it is distracting for me as a fan, it has to be distracting as a player.

Conclude whatever you want, I'm just happy I was born with a stick up my butt and not with some childish desire to yell out stupid phrases in public.

Totally don't get the whole "mashed potatoes" thing.  Somebody was yelling something about "medium rare" at the US Open, too . .I have no idea what that is supposed to accomplish.  It's not so much the yelling I don't understand but the words they yell.  Nobody yells "Mashed Potatoes" at football games, do they?

I will always remember that fat dude standing behind Dustin Johnson when he hit that shot out of the waste bunker at Whistling Straights.  As soon as DJ hit the shot, the guy throws his arms up in the air like he just made a hole in one or a touchdown or something.  I guess people just get carried away in the moment and do things that make no sense.

Maybe they looked up "mashed potatoes" on Wikipedia and found the image I posted above. Did you hear anyone yell, "onion rings"?

I would guess "medium rare" implies that he cooked it off the tee or something... although "medium rare" generally wouldn't infer that he cooked it very well.

Who cares? As long as it's after the ball has been struck it shouldn't effect a player's performance.

Are you equally upset when people cheer at other sporting events? Make noise during a foul shot?

The problem is we have a culture compared to europe where you are celebrated for being a drunken moronic idiot. I miss growing up in Finland and would love to move back sometime but I'm not a fan of 4 months of dark and snow at the same time.

Think about it, if someone yells the same thing or something stupid after you hit the ball everytime would you be able to let it not get to you? I doubt it, go ahead and play with your friends and have them yell something a split second after you hit it everytime and watch as you hit a 102 instead of your 91 average.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
