(3,922 posts)is not in that nasty, violent mode, but when they are they feel they are just getting approval, and feel they are being encouraged to continue with their bad behaviour, I feel that is how they took it from Thomas.
The USGA, in their quest to bring more people to the game, have broken ethic rules everywhere, and they have attracted crowds who do not even play golf but are there to get drunk, yell profanities, yell stupidities like "get in the hole", "mush potatoes", and other silliness that contributes to the sport loosing its ethics and all the good things they continue to try to sell, and it only happens in the USA.
If there are any golfers in DU they can attest about the behaviour that is encouraged in the "Waste Management" tournament where on hole 16, a par-3, people boo the players whose balls do not land on the green, they are drunk, and they throw beer cups, bottles, cans on the course, it is disgusting, they are very loud, they go there just to misbehave.
