United we stand as golfers Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The fools that ran onto the green are not patriotic they are fanatics. Golf is a way to unite countries. This is just embarrassing. russtopherb, BIG STU and poprocksncoke 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM01 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 How is this embarrassing for the tour? Is it embarrassing for football, soccer or baseball when some knucklehead runs onto the field? No and it’s not for the tour either. its an embarrassment for the donkeys that run onto any playing field JohnSmalls, BIG STU, 2puttbogey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolter1 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I don't think it is an embarrassment but definitely a bad look.

It’s clowns usually drunk ones that think they can do this. It’s for attention. Happens in many pro sports and not a bad look for any of the organizations BIG STU, Hacker60521 and Rob Person 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker60521 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I’m with @RickyBobby_PR on this. Protestors who vandalize, obstruct, or basically engage in criminal activity only hurt their cause. If anything I’m less inclined to care about what they are protesting. We’ve seen this happen in many settings and I don’t think many folks think this reflects poorly on the PGA. Here in Chicago this weekend Buckingham Fountain was vandalized and the water in the fountain dyed red. So now the fountain has been turned off. It needs to be cleaned and all of the water replaced. How does this make me want to support their cause.

ShimmyCocoBop Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 My take-away is that it is scary how close weirdos can get to golfers not only on the course, but when walking anywhere that spectators are allowed to be close enough to touch the players. IMHO, fan interaction is over-rated and potentially dangerous. " Party Holes" are just as bad. I remember when Tiger used to play in Jack's Memorial Tournament back in the early 2000's, his team requested a 20 person security detail. At first, The Memorial Committee thought it was a ridiculous request, but it eventually became commonplace.

parisio28 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 In all reality, I feel bad for that greens keeper who has to figure out how to get the spray paint off that green without murdering the grass.

I forgot who the statue was and what it represented and where it occurred. In the case at the tournament I think the folks involved were only cited for vandalism and disorderly conduct which are no more than a traffic ticket.
