While the JT was duchesque and could have just signalled a Marshall, agree that there's a code of conduct on the Golf Course & Gallery which should be respected. Hate to see it go the way of cruising & air travel. Still room for etiquette in the world, so let's leave Golf alone, please. We have plenty of ballplayers & Umpires left to vent our frustrations on.

It is shocking to me that no golfer has attempted the Happy Gilmore approach and asked fans to be loud when they hit.


It’s more shocking that you don’t understand how stupid you sound. Just to make it easy for you, in a golf tournament (at any level) there are other people playing aside from your buddy

He didn't cuss or say anything vulgar. If he got kicked out that's lame. Pretty lame of Thomas too.

I thought that was a little over the top by JT. But what was even more interesting, when JT made the the winning putt he said “frick yeah” very clearly during the broadcast. My 18 year old son asked if CBS was going to get in trouble for not bleeping it out. I said it’s live Tv and no way to bleep it.

The weird thing is that CBS replayed it 2 more times afterwards without bleeping it out.

He plays trivia at das beer garden in abacoa in Jupiter if anyone interested in a surprise meet and greet ( my work dept usually goes)


Highly doubt he will be in Jupiter on Tuesday since he tees off in Mexico City on Thursday in a WGC

Why is golf the exception? I agree that it's dumb as hell to do that but it exists in every other sport.

ETA Thomas sounds like a douche in that clip.



I enjoy golf, but pro golfers have arguably the least amount of adversity of any pro athlete. The vast majority are silver spoon folks. It's not surprise a young pro is a douchebag at the slightest bit of adversity.

And? Crowds roar on birdies, eagles, and other nice shots all the time. They don't care what's going on around the course.

I have no problem with golf fans in general... they make a broadcast more exciting , however when a player shanks one in the trees or tough , throngs of fans go crazy trying to see where the ball ends up... for what reason??????

What kind of idiot yells that out loud at a golf tournamen


Someone hired by ESPN and other media outlets who want Tiger Woods to win. Tiger Supply's his brothal to all those who constantly talk and promote him even when he isn't playing or in contention.

I'm fine with it. There's a certain etiquette to the game of golf, the fans are literally 5 ft away so you can hear everything (on TV as well) and if you allow that it means that any fan can heckle any player at any time, in addition to fricking yelling "get in the hole". It's the same reason you can't yell shite at a tennis match.

If people want to yell whatever they want, let's put bleachers around the outside of the entire country club be the only spectator viewing and they can have at it.
