And yeah it is annoying. I can’t stand watching golf, and I still find it obnoxious.

I didn't hear all the details, but apparently it happened around 5 or 6, before everything started. So it probably is worse.
My wife used to work about a mile away from the Open and the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction. She dreaded working those few weeks every year.

Phoenix Open is in my Top 10 favorite golf events of the year. Love the fun and excitement the Tournament brings out.

Complaining about a bunch a drunks yelling at golf is far down my list of golf issues. Complaining about sportswashing the Saudi regime with the traitors on the LIV tour tops my list. Many 9/11 families feel the same way.

Also, the Masters Committee has suspended meetings since every member has gone out to look for his balls!!!!
