Didn't he only have 3 wins by this time last year, with Rory then winning the PGA and 2 playoff tournaments?  Anyway, I agree that basically one of the other guys (mainly Phil, but I guess Scott as well) would have to win the PGA and a playoff event.

With Kodak's filing of Chapter 11 last year, selling off most of their businesses and layoffs Rochester is practically a ghost town.  Should be interesting to see how big the galleries will be.

Really? I was wondering how to get there from my home in UPSTATE NY. Thanks for the edification though.

If you yell something irrelevant or obnoxious, you should be kicked out immediately.

"GET IN THE HOLE" - BAN HIM

"MASHED POTATOES!" - BAN HIM

"HHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG" - BAN HIM

"BABA BOOEY" - BAN HIM

You get the idea...

I agree. The stupid thing is that it only takes one idiot to affect the entire round for all the spectators and TV viewers. I'd wage the players are not fans either.

Did you hear on Saturday (I think) when the one guy yelled, "YOU AREN'T TIGER WOODS!" at one of his playing partners?

I think they should be banned not so much because it is bothersome to the players or interferes with play, but just because a) it is moronic; and b) it is now incredibly unoriginal. Mashed Potatoes????? Only an idiot would yell something that stupid.

If I was going to yell something after a Tiger tee shot it would be, in the voice of the commercials, "Tro-Jan Man!"

Totally agree, What are these yahoo's trying to prove? They should be kicked out. And if they effect a players swing---banned

It's annoying to hear on tv can only imagine how aggravating it would be for the golfers on course.

Or the other fans around him.  I think that every time it happens, if whoever is closest to him boxes his ear, he just might get the message eventually.

Yeah. I mean, yell...go crazy, whatever. But yell because of a good shot...don't just wait for the "PING" and yell dumb sh** to be "funny".

I bet it'll eventually be addressed by the PGA.. There's been a couple times I've heard a fan yell nonsense before the player is at impact.

Wasn't he just saying that because the dude's last name was Wood? That's how I interpreted it but everyone else I've talked to think they were mocking him for being worse than Tiger. Either way, not funny and pissed me off while watching. That couldn't have felt good to be that golfer.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
