That ship has sailed and it's infecting the UK crowds. Plenty of idiots shouting at Wentworth last year at the BMW. Are you suggesting snipers in the trees along each hole?
Why do fans do this?!?!

Not suggesting as such, but now the possibility has been raised then I'm happy to donate or sign up to anything that can make this happen.
Exuberence and excitement exhibited by spectators is fine up to a point, but when it crosses the Rubicon and strays into the realms of mindless moronic nonsense, then it must be stamped out; preferably with a violent blow of some sort delivered to the miscreant's head.
The trouble is, hitting some of these idiots with a blunt instrument, especially around the frontal lobe will do more damage to the implement

I reckon it adds a bit of passion and atmosphere to the event. Otherwise it's just a staid, boring ripple of applause
Are you two volunteering to administer the blow in question??
Really? You think shouting "mash potato" or other inane nonsense adds passion and atmosphere?

Yep. Makes it less like a county cricket match. I love a bit of bubba, and the whooping on the first tee. It's just a laugh.

I fear that I cannot see my way clear to agreeing. It's the mindlessness, the i'll-judged inappropriateness and complete ignorance in the context of the game of these mironic and inane outbursts that I can't be doing with.
Cheers.
PS MASHED POTATO!!!

Have to agree to disagree. All for some atmosphere around the first tee and appreciation for the creativity of these players and it shouldn't sound as though they are in an open air library but inane and random nonsense is a pain and adds nothing

Boring!!! When you go to wentworth do you wear chinos and golf shoes ?
First tee at the last two Ryder Cups- that'll do for me please on day 1.
If you build it, they will come.

Yup, that kind of crowd celebration at the start of the tournament would make a great atmosphere (& have the added bonus of drowning out the 'masticated tuber' shouts)

Would agree that has been great last couple of times, but for me it works only for that specific event. It's been more about team support in the way the rugby fraternity do it. In a stroke event with a field of 98 individuals then I don't really feel it could work.
