Waste Management Golf Event...

I know there are some golfers on the SYC...curious what you think of the beer can shower at 16 yesterday...and again today following a hole in one ??

I have kind of gotten used to the rowdy yelling and excitement...but throwing beer cans is whole different movie.

Don't they have Fancy Driving range Ball retriever machine that could be modified for cans? LoL.
That's why No Beer cans allowed at my Local Race track (1/8 mi) imagine the carnage cutting a Perfect Light,,,,,,,,

all in fun

Yeah, it may be going too far as I saw some of them come close to players. I don’t remember it being that way in years past. I actually went to the tournament several years ago and was surprised at the volumes of alcohol!
On the other hand were most tournaments are quiet this one really gives a players the sensation of playing in a football stadium!

I've worked this event before. It's one continuous party from sun up to sundown. Most of the players love it....some like Tiger Woods hate it.

I was fortunate a few times to get "Greenskeeper" passes for the 16th hole. It's crazy.

The throwing of projectiles is a new one on me...

This is nothing new,they've been doing it for years,and the very reason they installed 3 tier seating around this Hole.
I think it's great.

Stuffed Toys on Ice Rinks move over.

Players Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen decided to take off their shirts after making putts on 16...then the beer cans rained down.

Another player missed a birdie putt on 16 due to possible 'can damage' on the green...

I enjoy having fun on the course, but these things don't belong on the PGA tour.

Partying is one thing, but I’d assume several hundred beer cans, full, or partially full would make a green nearly unplayable. Bet there’s no beer cans next year.

You’d probably have a lot of explaining to do if you were in the crowd and got stopped by a cop on the way home. ��

I enjoy golf a lot and proper etiquette is a long tradition. With that said, this tournament has a long history of being one big party and rowdy at times. Golf needs to adapt a bit to keep the game relevant for the younger generation. I've attended a couple of Ryder Cup tournaments and they are a lot of fun with the team atmosphere and they can get a bit boisterous, but the Waste Management is in a league of its own.

Perhaps a rule that only empty beer cans can be thrown as no one should waste a full beer. :-)
