I say kick them out because players are now tweeting about it. People might say the yelling comes after impact but what happens when someone gets drunk and yells out the split second before impact and screws up someones swing? I say get em out of there before one of these jerks causes someone a stroke or more, heaven forbid in a major.

Let the players vote whether they should be kicked out. I find it annoying, but not enough that I think someone should be kicked out. However, if the players have a problem with it, they need to GTFO.

Because you didn't have the choice, "Be forced into the 9th Level of Hell as per Dante's Inferno", I chose the last one.

I am waiting for someone to yell out to Keegan, "While we're young!" I thought that this would be prevalent material for the USGA events. Maybe, "In the hole" guy can become relevant again if he switched over.

I was watching an LPGA tournament a few weeks back.  Paula Creamer was taking way too long on one hole.  Judy Rankin made the comment that maybe she should say, "While We're Young!" to Paula!  Now that would have been classic!

I think they should get one warning then kicked out if they continue. It's starting to get annoying because these guys are trying to come up with different things to say. One tournament I heard someone yell, Hamburger. What really annoyed me were the knuckleheads that yelled "your not Tiger at Chris Wood. Now it's a direct attack at a specific player. What's next? Jackass? I'm all for Cheering a favorite player or a great shot. I heard comments that these guys paid so they are entitled to say what they want. What about the rest of the people that paid? They are there to enjoy golf.

Seems like "you da man" is thankfully not quite as popular as it once was. It would be nice if these idiots seeking their 15 minutes would realize how stupid they sound and just stop, especially with the non-specific, non-golf comments. On the other hand, some have become acceptable, like LUUKE and BOOO when appropriate. Of course the 16th at Waste Management has become a tradition of sorts, and even a lot of the players seem to embrace it. As for kicking them out, as long as they don't interfere with play, I guess let them stay. I think that would be a can of worms full of potential unintended consequences such as the behavior police becoming overly intrusive.

I've finally had enough, this PGA for me has been ruined by people who like the sound of their voice way too much, the stuff they shout is loud enough to curdle milk.. Im pretty sure Jim Furyk just turned around and said something to someone too, proving its starting to get on the players nerves.. Time this is put to a stop, encouragement is fine, shouting random loud things because you like the sound of your own voice is not..

Especially when it could be effecting someones game.. Throw them out.

Yesterday, right after Stenson hit, some guy yelled, "Swedish Fish". I had never heard that one before. Luckily, I did not hear it again.

They ruin every tee shot with their yells to be noticed! The PGA should hire cameramen to catch the screaming offenders. Since they are looking for attention they could show them on the Jumbotron screen with embarrassing captions like...screaming banshee, I'm a dick, etc. (of course don't show them on television or the floodgates will open).

It's getting to the point where, like women's tennis, because of the grunting, you just can't watch it.

It was driving me nuts today, all these morons thinking it's about them

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I totally agree, it was totally unwatchable, I was cringing with anticipation waiting for what the next stupid shout would be.. totally embaressing.

I volunteered as a hole marshal at the Senior PGA Championship in May. Most of the loud rah-rah near the tee box was by people following a particular player.

More irritating to the players was the "social club" clusters around some of the greens. You'd have a couple of people run into each other in the crowd and start "old home week" chatter.

  • Marshal instructions were to hold up our hands as the players got ready to hit, to let the crown know it was quiet time.
  • If you had people who were still talking, you would say loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please!"
  • Next step was to talk to the cluster between shots if they didn't get the word. Never had to do this: others in the crowd would counsel the talkers on their rude behavior.

Each hole had one or two hole captains with a walkie-talkie to summons security if need be. If security has to come, people got thrown out of the tournament. Security mainly was needed for someone who had too much to drink. You want to let security handle the drunks - security knows the legal niceties of how to escort them out.

In today's PGA tournament, won by Jason Dufner, the announcers noted several people yelling before the player hit the ball. Jim Furyk pointed at someone in the crowd a couple of times right after his tee shot.

I personally find it distracting from the shots, but when watching from a television it isn't too bad. Mainly because I'm busy trying to figure out where the golf ball is going in relation to the fairway when all I can see is a lurching view of just the ball in the air. I wish they would use their shot tracker, or whatever they call it, that highlights the line the golf ball took much more often than they do. It's interesting to me to watch the variety of shot shapes and trajectories that different players will use.

The PGA Tour could put an end to if they wanted.  All theyd have to do is throw out anyone who yells it.  I would agree though that its a potential PR nightmare and one that they probably dont want to deal with.

As long as its yelled AFTER that swing, its not really hurting anyone, although it is annoying.

Nobody watching at home knows who is yelling the crap. The only one who knows are the players, caddies, tournament officials, and gallery at that particular tee. Vigilante justice should prevail :D (just kidding)

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
