As for mobiles, I have no problem with people carrying them in case they require to be contacted, but do you see a football player stopping mid game to send off a tweet or post a picture on facebook?
It's hardly a meaningful comparison when talking about being able to use a phone between a game in which people need to be constantly paying attention and following the game, and a game in which you are either walking or standing around not doing a great deal for vast majority of the time you are on the course.
I've taken pictures and tweeted several times from the golf course, there were pictures on twitter of the ball in the cup after my hole in 1 about 1 minute after the ball had rolled in there. Where's the problem with that?
