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?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

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.

    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
