Question:
Jerry Kelly mentioned much the same thing (not about DLIII being a brat 
. He stated that golf has changed and you’d have to roll with the punches. The tour will crack down somewhat, but you are right about joking with the hecklers. When someone told him the putt broke right I’d yell out "I see two balls left…. how about you?". *That* is the way to win the crowds’ heart. After that any other garbage would be sternly policed by the crowd themselves. Scott
Good advice, these hecklers are much like usenet trolls, getting mad gives them the attention they crave. JL
Response:
what exactly is the thrill of yelling U-DA-MAN a millisecond after a pro’s swing?
I still know people who do that. Scary…. It is amazing the way people imitate what they see on TV. I remember about 10-12 years ago when Paul Azinger ate a banana during his round for energy. Don’t you know that the very next day, my local course was selling fruit at the counter? They never did that before, but since Paul did it…. Luckily, the Sergio Regrip Dance hasn’t caught on yet, but something tells me its coming soon to a course nearby!

Well, since the PGA tour is not a state actor the Supreme Court would not give a fig.

HEARD vague report about fans heckling etc…..any ideas ? thanks Here is an idea: tell the pampered brat to grow up and be a man. Look, I don’t agree with heckling golfers. I’d never do it, nor would I recommend it, but the game has changed. The tour wants big crowds and mass appeal. They build stadium courses and try to pack in the fans. This is the stuff that they will have to deal with. The players need a thicker skin. Had Davis turned back and joked once or twice, those same hecklers would have been instant DL3 fans for life. It also would have loosened Davis up quite a bit. Davis needs to work on his people skills.

DLIII isn’t my idea of the most charasmatic guy I’ve seen – but he’s also not a crass bore like most of the yokels who made their ill-informed, dumb outbursts. How anyone can condone dopes like this taking up space at any sporting event is beyond me. Its only the piss they drink (usually free, and usually to excess) that makes them believe that *anyone* is interested in what they have to say. And, most of them haven’t got a clue about the game in any event – and the disease is now spreading around the globe! — Regards Barrie Smart The Wizard of Oz!

I stopped going to sporting events in general because of obnoxious drunks. Get rid of them, and you get more fans. So it’s get rid of the obnoxious fans to get more money. I’m sure we all know which the players would choose!

I heard that they found the guy and threw him out.
Does the U.S. Supreme Court know that the PGA Tour is restricting free speech?

Here is an idea: tell the pampered brat to grow up and be a man. Look, I don’t agree with heckling golfers. I’d never do it, nor would I recommend it, but the game has changed. The tour wants big crowds and mass appeal. They build stadium courses and try to pack in the fans. This is the stuff that they will have to deal with. The players need a thicker skin. Had Davis turned back and joked once or twice, those same hecklers would have been instant DL3 fans for life. It also would have loosened Davis up quite a bit. Davis needs to work on his people skills. I play at a private club that has half the tees and greens (and several spots in between) exposed to the public streets. If I had a dollar for every time some bozo rode by and yelled "Fore!", I’d be a rich man. Horns honk, radios blast, people yell all kinds of crap… you deal with it. The average public golf course is hardly a library either, but golfers deal with it. Who hasn’t played an exposed muni? Around my way there is a place called Pennsauken CC and a busy, 4 lane county highway dissects the course. You’ll feel naked at times but, again, you deal with it. If Davis can’t handle a few drunks having some fun with him, then he needs to grow up. Speaking out makes him look like a baby and now it will get worse.

HEARD vague report about fans heckling etc…..any ideas ? thanks Here is the story.
http://sports.yahoo.com/pga/news/ap/20020707/ap-pga-westernopen-love…. I was at the Western Open today following the leaders. Even though I have never been a big fan of Davis Love, I agree with him about this. It was irritating to me and obviously to Davis when some idiot on the 14th hole yelled and said "It breaks left-to-right Davis!" He said some other stupid stuff too, but I can’t remember exactly what he said. I was on the 17th hole when Davis played it, but I was not close enough to hear or see what happened. On the other hand, Jerry Kelly interacted with and handled the galleries well. He had a lot of support though, since he is from nearby Wisconsin. Congrats to Jerry Kelly, he was a deserving champion!
