Underrated or Overrated #23 - How Much Fans In The Gallery Influence Your Enjoyment Of Watching Golf On TV

This came up in a conversation with my father yesterday. He said he didn't enjoy watching The Charles Schwab at Colonial because their were no fans in attendance. I told him I kind of liked it better. 

Who's right?

What exactly is the cause of the blowup hole?  It's important to ask several iterations of "why?".  You generally don't need to ask "why" more than 5 times to get to the origin of a problem.  Example:

For the average person I'd say it's underrated, and for those that follow women's golf I'd say it's overrated. It's underrated for the average person because most people have never even heard of

I'm going with overrated. I say this as a fan of the LPGA. Personally I enjoy the LPGA almost as much as I enjoy the PGA. Here's the thing, I think the Ryder Cup is over-rated too.  I also don't

I liked that you could see the course the way it's designed without hordes of people in the way.  And the pros doing fake waves at the non-existent gallery works for me.

Overrated. The Charles Schwab was much more enjoyable for me without galleries. Main thing was there was more audible dialog between players/caddies, maybe by design of the production team, or maybe just because the ambient noise lower. Also, no morons yelling bababooey, ham sandwich, mashed potatoes, etc.

Overrated.  I honestly didn't even notice unless it was pointed out by the announcers.

Overall definitely overrated. But watching Tiger walk down 18 with the mass following ....that’ll never get old.

Overrated. I enjoyed it a little more without the fans, TBH.

Overrated!   I do agree with @Vinsk about the crowds following Tiger on 18.

Overrated. In fact way overrated. I hate hearing the fans yell stupid shit like was already stated. The one that gets me is “get in the hole” and it’s a par 4. I also like to hear the dialogue between caddy and player. I guess that’s why I like the UFC fights without fans also.

I am kinda split on this. For big moments, underrated. For non-big moments overrated. Watching Tiger get his first win back after so many years, and watching the crowd follow him and surround the green was amazing to watch on TV. There is something about being part of a crowd or feeling the energy of crowd. That being said, I love watching the Masters on their internet broadcasting and for the most part you see very little of the crowd and I enjoy it a lot.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
