As a one off it’s great entertainment.
Still a very good tournament going on.
Millions going to local businesses and charities.
The locals love it and have embraced it.
The players that don’t mind it enter the ones that don’t won’t.

I've been playing and watching golf for 50 years so I know I am a dinosaur. The lack of common courtesy displayed by the beer addled, self obsessed 'look at me behaving like a p*ssed up a**ehole' so called spectators demeans everything I love about our wonderful game.
Just my opinion.

No, but I’m loving this as 1 tournament a year.
Generally I’ll watch the majors, a few ‘big’ events (such as this, the players etc) and that’s it. As something a bit different once a year, why not?

I think its ok for one week a season. It's not for me though.
I've only been to one event in America, a bloke shouted something rude at Justin Rose, two blokes in uniform appeared, out he went!

Beer cans being thrown on the green is not ideal. But each player checks their line and tidies it up. If there was a dent from a can, I can’t imagine it was any less visible than a spike mark that we see them repairing all the time.

Dunno Steve, I've never had a beer-can dent on my line!?

A pretty entertaining end (not end) to all that.
Gutted for the young lad, but hitting it in the pond at 17 wasn't very clever.
Don't particularly care for the lads left, looks like they'll need to get it very close to actually hole a putt...

Disgraceful. So much beer wasted.
They’re not wasting beer, they’re wasting Budweiser which is probably the best thing to do with it. ?

I’ve not issue with the fans having fun, but seems like it’s encouraging excess, binge drinking to me. Yes it is an one off but maybe we should have more events when the fans get a chance to hit the players with beer cans. Why not open it up to other sports?
Like a coconut shy but with real sports people?

Apparently it is ok for the fans to "nail" the pro's as it only happens once a year.
For now!

The "for now" comment resonates.
It started with the stadium effect around the hole. That became a reason for shouting and booing. The players bought into it and got involved.
Now, we have players waiting for greens to be cleared of beer cans.
What next? Bringing rotten fruit and eggs to throw?

How often do you have to disagree? Asking for a friend… ?

I’m still struggling to understand how someone can think it’s “enjoyable” and also “entertaining” and good for the game for a beer can to hit a player ?
Some can’t see the middle ground
What’s good - the crowds , the stadium atmosphere created , the drama
What’s not good - thousands throwing beer cans and alcohol over the tees , greens , and players - players running around with their shirt off
In what way is any of that enjoyable entertainment

As Peter Alliss would have said, "Ah, Americans. Bless them. What would my old dad have made of all this?"
