Its moronic and stupid. I have no problem with spectators shouting good shot or the odd ooah if a putt justs misses but this getinthehole is idiotic.

I think it was Butch that said they only do it when the camera's are around so when they get back home and have TiVo'ed it they can say to their mates.

"That's Was Me"

If that's the case it kind of makes it even worse that it's not even a shout of encouragement.

It's is just pathetic. I was watching Friday night on the PGA website. Mickelson and partners had teed off and where walking down the fairway and a fan shouted 'get in the hole phil'. WALKING DOWN THE FAIRWAY!!!!!

Is it Steve Williams that's Tigers caddy? Occasionally out-spoken etc. Now he's the man to go and *** one of the crowd. Now that would be worth watching. ;)
Oh please, if Sky could guarantee that I would definitely subscribe (even if my decoder breaks again one day after deciding not to take up the extended warranty)

You do know the extendy warranty is a con don't you....just ring Sky and tell them you want a new one.....

the absolute worst has to be the 16th at Scottsdale. there the worst elements are not just welcomed but are encouraged, and goaded into even greater excesses by some of the competitors. at least one put on a local football shirt just for the hole - talk about lack of respect for your competitor and the game.

Shanker is a ....... I mean...he's clearly had a bad day or summat....??
Well, I didn't have a bad day. A very nice one, in fact. However, I will apologise to Basher publicly.
Getting back to the Americans, I like them. I've played lots of golf with them and enjoyed it. Golfers like Nicklaus and Palmer have done so much for the game. Where would our Open be if Trevino, Watson, Hogan and company hadn't included it in their programme? Why so much Yankee-bashing on this board? :(

It isn't the players that get a bashing, it is the idiots in the crowd.

I like playing golf with the yanks, and will be doing just that in a couple of weeks time. However, they too get annoyed by continual shouts of you da man, and get in the hole. It ruins the coverage.

I agree Murph, quite why Shanker thinks we are all US haters I dont know....?
Its just the eejits in the crowd, why the hell dont the USPGA do anything about it ????

As far as the yanks in general are concerned, well,........I dont hate them, just find them a smidge irritating to be honest.

However, they can be refreshingly open too, if thats the right word.

And the Telly is just too annoying for words...... :D
