I just think about when Tiger used to go off on people taking pictures I used to think he was being a bit childish. If the PGA was not willing to ban cameras and cellphones on the golf course then the players have to live with that as a reality. They are professional atheletes and as such should learn to handle adverse situations.

Cameras have long been banned at PGA tournaments. I know, because I volunteered at one for 4 years. We were to call security if we even saw a camera during the competition. Cameras were only allowed on the practice and pro-am days (Mon - Wed). Once the tournament began, anyone caught with camera had two choices, either let the camera be confiscated (and picked up only when you left the course), or you and the camera could both be escorted off the premises immediately. I'm not sure how they treat the cameras built into cell phones these days, but I'm certain that if a phone rings audibly, it will get the same treatment as cameras do.

The only people who are allowed to have cameras on the course during tournament play are legitimate photographers with press passes.

That is correct. We have to wear our press badge around our neck at all times to show that we are allowed to have cameras at the events.

LMAO, it's an interesting concept and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Most of the guys I hang around with talk smack constantly, of course we aren't playing for anything except maybe a lunch or buying a beer. They are also quick to compliment you on a good shot or try and pick you up after a bad one.

I find that the women I know don't talk smack. However, some of them are too vocal about what bothers them, which would allow someone to get into their heads if they chose to.

I could care less where some one stands as long as the ball, or club can't hit them during my swing, or impact into the ball.

When the PGA comes to Vegas, they don't allow any electronic devices, unless you have paper work and it's for personal. medical use. This includes phones of any kind, cameras, and those binoculars that have built in cameras. Get caught using one of the above on the course, and it's confiscated, or you leave with it. And they wonder why they can't get more folks to buy tickets to this tournament.

As for making noise, I am all for it, as long as it done in good taste, much like they do at the FBR. I think it will become the norm years down the road when the PGA is taken over by more fan friendly players.

This kind of thing doesn't bother me at all. A group I play with will harass you on the tee so I talk during my swing to show them it doesn't matter.I do have have some buddies who blame every bad shot on something other than theirself and they tend to p*** me off more than the hecklers.

Well Jeff, if you hadn't been moving around on the other side of the fairway looking for the other guy in your carts ball, it wouldn't have distracted me when I was in the woods messing up a hero shot when I should have just pitched it back to the fairway. Oh, and the fact that I couldn't actually see you? I could feel that you were moving around!

That goes for MO too! hehehe

that wasn't me......and you don't fit into the ones that p*** me off.But the ladies tees..c'mon

[marketheal]

If you ever get a chance to play with Smalls or Mo take it...it will be an enjoyable round

[Loolasant]

I don't mind people standing around as long as they are not moving. What drives me crazy is when the ranger zips by with a cart down the cart path as if I'm not even there! Makes me want to change my target if you know what I mean.
