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. Rather than a trip to a shrink I would suggest a quick escort to the parking lot! The New York _expression_ "Trow da bum out" should be applied to rude fans in ANY sport! A statement of unacceptable behavior and the consequences should be clearly printed on the back of the admission ticket. This type of behavior should not be blamed on the location of this event. I worked at Winged Foot for 3 Summers during my teen years and one of the most valued lessons I learned there was gentlemanly behavior.
