When did the decorum change in golf spectators?

[Snattlerake]

I'm watching this Tulsa Pro championship and I am amazed at the rudeness of people yelling, "IN THE HOLE!" when a guy tees off on a PAR 5. Idiots!

During the Nicholas and Palmer years you could hear a crowd murmur between players taking shots. Now it seems everyone wants to cheer on their favorite golfer especially when they are trying to concentrate between shots. In my opinion, I think it is just plain rude.

It isn't golf. It is all of society.

I was waited on today at a restaurant by a tattoed up 170lb chick with a nose ring wearing a faded tshirt and snake skin leggings. Everything is lower brow now than it used to be.

I blame democrats.

They’ve been yelling “in the hole” for over 20 yrs as I remember

When they started selling beer and building grandstands. They should also ban cell phones from the course.

Yep - up until this afternoon it seemed like the fans were polite. I watched most of all four days. It wasn’t until the last couple of hours today that some fans started getting really obnoxious. I was embarrassed for Oklahoma when one fan keep yelling to Thomas to “hit the driver” on 18. Also heard a “lets go Brandon“ and several “get in the hole” screams. Some people are just obnoxious to begin with and it only gets worse when they get intoxicated.

Wifey just told me a co-worker was there after being invited by a mutual friend. He said the tent they were in was an open bar and there were about 20 republican contributors drinking. None of them were feeling any pain and were telling Biden jokes and not letting any suspected demonrat escape their wrath. He said they did keep the ruckus in the tent not letting it spill out into the tourney.

He also said he met with the main republican leadership and they said it is scary the amount of outside the state Dem money being pumped into local Dem coffers.

How is this covering for the shooter? It’s simply sharing a thought that the corrupt government helped this guy do this. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Some of y’all get triggered way too easily.

"I blame democrats" Um, Oklahoma is a heavily Republican state. Everyone needs to look in a mirror.

It was actually in Tulsa. So I blame Tulsa democrats.
