Phoenix open fans

just switched on the highlights and Jon Rahm on the short stadium hole and all i can hear as he stands over the ball is "Shank it" being shouted.... pretty pathetic

I do like the stadium effect they have created there but the jeering does go a bit too far at times.
I suppose you always get small groups who ruin it for others. It happens on courses all over but dare I say the Americans do seem the worst for it.

It's a unique set up and players know the score. Treat it as the fun experience it is supposed to be. It's great theatre.

There's another aspect of the 16th hole that they definitely got right...

I'm with Patrick on this. It's as pathetic as the football chanting and general melee of the Ryder Cup now.

The event has grown and grown on the back of the spectator behaviour, it has the highest attendance figures, the players know what they’re in for when they enter the comp.
The beer sales are through the roof, millions are raised for charity during the event and for all the expected bad behaviour the “Amy” and “Jarrod” happenings are superb.
Every year this event is moaned about on here, guess what? same again next year.

Think you’ve missed the point here Paul🙄

It’s the “Shank it” shouts that Patrick as a problem with.

But for every one of you, there are 10 of them, it’s advertised with the crowd behaviour and being different from the norm.
It’s not your normal golf fan that it attracts.
I agree it’s not what’s accepted or tolerated at other events, this one it is.

No I haven’t, within hours of the gates open thousands are drunk, Sky commentators last night apologised a couple of times about the language from spectators in the background, they weren’t apologising for people saying shank.
The morons the event attracts probably have absolutely no idea what a shank is or how it effects some golfers even saying the word.
Some of the best in the world are playing in the event, do you not think they’ve heard it all before?

Agreed

I like it. Not every week.. but once a year for something a bit different from the staid usual fare (borrowed Homer's thesaurus there)

Seriously mate, I thought you were better than that.
I’ve agreed it’s wrong, all I’ve tried to do is explain why it happens and why it won’t change.
As you’ve started the thread, you can delete it yourself.

i didn't ask for it to change or any action, other than it was pathetic .

you came on criticising the "moaning " and condoning the actions.... TBH i don't watch much US golf and switched this on for a quick look, i then switched straight over, not for me.

FYI the comment to mods was a joke, you should maybe lighten up

My first post quoted nobody and was in response to all the previous posts.
I didn’t get personal.
