That’s Wet! a Golf blog in West Palm Beach Florida

Here’s what I don’t want to see tomorrow during the opening day of the 88th PGA Championship at Medinah in my fair city of Chicago.

Click, snap, snap, click ARGH#@$*!!!

I was amazed by the lack of etiquette of fans taking pictures during The Open Championship at Hoylake this year. Hole after hole, Tiger and other huge stars were interrupted in their back swings, in their pre-shot routines and it was effecting the pace of play pretty dramatically. Hey, let’s throw some people out for that. Make a public example of it and word will get around quickly that we’re not OK with it. We all know that we’re not allowed to take a golfer’s picture during a round and during a major, it’s obscene.

I love the informal spirit that’s cropped up in golf in the last 10 years since Tiger has made the scene, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have respect for the game. It’s one thing to bellow out an unoriginal wore-out-your-welcome ‘who’s the man!’ after the player has teed off but QUIET PLEASE - we’re watching some golf here.
