What I don't get is who goes to a golf tournament to get rowdy? Akin to doing the wave at church. I imagine these dolts high fiving all the way to the parking lot reliving their screaming conquests as they get into their truck with rubber balls hanging under it.

Kick them out.  "In-the-hole!!" guy is a moron.  It's not clever, it's not entertaining, and having to listen to that idiocy ruins the broadcast. It's the ultimate "look at me" moment. Why not

These idiots that yell are probably so pleased with their accomplishments of getting their voice heard by millions of TV viewers. They probably get on their phone ant text their friends, "hey did you

I don't mind it as long as they wait an ample time after the ball is hit. Anyone that makes a peep before contact is made should be escorted out immediately. I voted for #4 though.

With as DAMNED SERIOUS as they are about people who pull out a 100% silent phone to check a text message (happened to me, can you tell?) .. One would think people would be kicked out for this stuff. Granted, in my case, I unserstand that there was no way for them to know that I had zero intention or capability to take a picture or distract a golfer in any way with my silent phone. So I understand. But I think the same amount of firmness and enforcement could and should be given to the shouters. While I can see how it's funny conceptually, particularly AFTER a shot, I think it's too close to causing a player real problems/costing someone a win. It can't be let to get to that point, IMO.

Now that would get people back in the pews!

How about this?  We get this guy on the course.

This trend has gotten way out of hand.  It really has become annoying.  It is like going to a concert and some ass beside you thinks everyone came to see him dance really big and scream the lyrics right beside you.  I didn't come here to see you - I came to see the band.

They should be tossed.

And to those who think it was funny the first time someone shouted mashed potatoes really loud and so totally random - I get it.  I don't really share it with you as a source of joy, but I can see a chuckle.  But like most jokes, it was only good the first time.  And all of the other words might as well be mashed potatoes - it doesn't get funnier to say chewbacca.  Doing the same thing over and over is not good.  Just sad.

If you still think this is funny - you are an idiot.

The Masters has it right and I wish that the Tour would follow.  The people who yell inane things after (or during) the golf swing are just attention seeking losers who think that they are being funny but instead are simply showing that they're adult in age and juvenile in intelligence.  People, it's just not funny, no matter whether you say Bababooey, Swedish Fish, Mashed Potatoes or anything else.  The people who yell are just a group of tiresome clowns who should have their passes taken away for the remainder of the tournament.  Most people, including me, will go to a tournament to enjoy the golf along with others of the same ilk, not be bothered by people who want to use the tournament as their own personal "look at me!" event.  Do us all a favor and go home and yell at your TV but stop making those of us who are there for the golf be subjected to your idiocy.

Really makes you miss the quiet guys with the rainbow wigs and simple cardboard signs.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
