Stadium Holes

I'm pretty sure you're incorrect.

I'm not incorrect. Fancying someone of the same sex is totally different to trying to change your birth sex.

The sudden eruption of noise must have an effect on other players around the course who may be in mid swing.
What next..... trans, woke cheerleaders welcoming players onto the tee?
Not for me thank you.

Do you wear black socks and shoes with shorts?

Stadium holes are great if it annoys people with this kind of attitude.

They are great on TV but not when the loutish behaviour filters down to courses across the country and people think it's OK because they do it on telly.

So you're happy when you annoy people who have a different opinion to yours?
Gotcha

I was being inclusive, not leaving anyone out because these days, you're not allowed to.

You'd have been better off apologising for your misjudgement rather than trying normalise it.
If you have an issue with trans or woke people, whether they are cheerleaders, bank managers, or golfers - then you are homophobic.
If you don't want cheerleaders on the tee, just say so.

Really? Can you provide any evidence to support that is happening?

If those people have opinions like the one you posted I am.

Exactly how drunk and loud do you have to get to avoid being labelled "a stuffy old boys club?"

Just slightly merry? Can't stand up? Wet your trousers and get in a fight?
Is it compulsory to try and hit a player with a beer can? Maybe throw an empty whisky bottle?

Surely anything less than a night in the cells is too stuffy?

Why not just say you don’t like people who aren’t like you, and you don’t wan them on the golf course .

It would have saved quite a few posts.

Yes I can. I witnessed 3 guys on the tee in front of me chuck beer cans and jeer at their mate when he topped his drive off the tee in the States last year. They also had music playing in their carts.

Good lord..
Please stop, now. Do you not think that trans people come under that umbrella?
I mean, if you'd scrolled down your google search to the next definition of homophobia you'd have seen it covered trans people as well..

Byron Nelson was a truly great player and one of golf's finest gentlemen, a quiet man who retired at the age of 34 to become a rancher. If they choose to desecrate the tournament by turning it into a booze festival for the self obsessed spectator, at least they should have the decency to remove his name from the title.

Hi

Who don’t I like just because they aren’t like me?

 

[bobmac]

Ok, it was not my intention to upset any section of this community, if I did cause offence I apologise. I was merely giving my opinion that as a nation, we tend to copy what the US does and by adding 'razzmatazz' to golf is not my cup of tea. Not for me thank you.

Based soley on this thread, anyone who doesn't want a version of the Phoenix Open at Hoylake in July?

I don’t know everyone’s ages here and I’m sure I’m generalising somewhat - but I’m getting the feeling younger fans like the stadium holes much more than the older fans.

I’d hazard a guess we will see more and more of them in the coming years.

Great idea. Something that moves the image of golf away the stuffy old boys club image it has is a good thing.

Normally I would agree with this sort of sentiment - but I'm not sure if this moves the needle too far in the opposite direction. It's more American amateur culture to get wasted on the golf course, when you've got pro players taking their shirts off (as two did last year who got fined I believe) and people throwing beer cups at them, that's not quite my vision of what golf is about.

If I wanted people chucking beers around and taking their shirts off at a sporting event, I'd go to a yank football game, not to a golf course.
