New Yorkers!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tflan Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 8:41 PM To: Shop Cc: Spine Subject: ShopTalk: Well, the Open is done   Congratulations to Ogilvy. Condolences to Ferrie. Why Ferrie and not Monty or Mickleson or Furyk? Well, M, M, and F gagged it away. But recall early on the front nine, when Ferrie was cruising along, making pars, and some screwball yelled, a split-second after Ferrie's shot "SUPERMAN"? Innocuous as it may seem, it was enough to rattle Ferrie for a few holes. Which brings me to the point of this, likely my last rant on the Open.   Where do the knucklehead fans come from? They can't be golfers. Some of the loudmouth fans, admittedly only a few, act as though they're watching hockey or World Cup Soccer, or football. The louts at the Open this year weren't nearly as stupifyingly dreadful as are the fans in Phoenix, but for sure they're a close second. Screaming at the crack of a tee shot on a 495 yard par four "GO IN THE HOLE" should get those goons a trip to a shrink. You don't hear it at the Masters. You don't hear it at the British Open. And it isn't much of a problem at some other venues in the U.S., but this week at the Open? Incredible.   What did Paul Newman's "Butch Cassidy" say in the movie? "WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?"   Back to the cave.   TFlan   -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
