In all seriousness, if the yell was not heard over TV they would stop.  I personally would eliminate the televising of golf if I were king for a day. 

Funny, last night my 16 year old son was complaining about what seemed to be an unusual number of commercials during the football game.  How else are they going to pay Michael Vick 40 million guaranteed?  I just took the TV out of my bedroom, too bad my wife sleeps in another room.

I'd make them televise 1 round of golf where they weren't allowed to show a single putt and stand outside the TV truck making book on when the director got carried out in a straightjacket for actually having to do his job...

I would create a mandatory match-play event for the top 64 in the world played over 5 days with a 36 hole final.  (Only excuse is doctor’s note.)

However, it would be held at a classic golf course rarely seen by the PGA pros.  (e.g. Yale, LACC, Old Macdonald, Sand Hills, St. Louis CC, etc.)

They would have to play without yardage books, pin sheets, or their regular caddies.  They would have to use a stranger (but golf knowledgeable) golfer as caddie who also was unfamiliar with the course.  The course would have ALL yardage information removed from the course.  The only yardage would be the yardage from the back of the tee which would be noted on the official scorecard.

There would be NO Ground Under Repair.  The whole course is played as it is found.  Bunkers would not be raked all week.

They could only play two practice rounds, and they could not refer to any notes during the round (other than a tournament rules sheet and the Rules of Golf).

Finally they would be restricted to 9 clubs; the driver and any other non-irons & non-putter would have to be wood; and no wedge greater than 56 degrees; and using a tournament ball that is similar to a pre1980 Titlist.

In other words, they would play on a very good course, but otherwise they would play golf they way a lot of us play – under imperfect conditions, with little course knowledge, and with inadequate equipment.

Do away with all walking only golf courses.

Do away with all riding only courses.

John,

I agree with you on  the editing if it can be done in time enough to hear the strike on the ball, some of these cretins start shouting on the downswing.

I would go back in time with a documentary film crew and fully document the complete history of the creation of Merion so that all future discussions per the history of Merion would be unnecessary, and we could all live in peace and harmony within the confines of GolfClubAtlas.  

[Pete Lavallee]

I would propose Melvyn Hunter Morrow for membership to the R&A, so he could do something about the damn ball!

[Melvyn Morrow]

Ball, Clubs and control technology for the good of the game and also lots of open door policy to collate the facts. But wild horses would not get me to accept, unless a number of existing members left.

A Member, perhaps when Hell Freezes over 

Melvyn

Bob,

Sound engineers can remove any single instrument or sound from a recording without compromising the integrity of the recording.  One of the most famous examples is the isolation of Linda McCartney's vocals from Wings.  Sadly the Golf Channel and other broadcasters are once again playing the golfing public for the rubes they are.  Why should they make the investment if it will not help their ratings? 

[Kalen Braley]

john,

The key word in your last post is "recording".  For a live feed, even with a 7 second time delay, this isn't near enough time to remove just the shout with any kind of grace.  They would have to mute all the input from that mic on the tee altogether.

Kalen,

I know you want us to play persimmons but sound engineers threw out their Comodore 64's.  Really, 7 seconds is an eternity. You simply write a program to identify the specific frequencies of the offending phrases. Kid stuff.

And there-in lies the problem,

Everyone's voice has its own specific frequency, even if the words being spoken are the same.

.... with supernatural powers, the courtesies and ettiquete once relatively common in the game would become as involuntary in action as breathing.  Enjoy whatever game you play and do no harm.

[Bill Shamleffer]

The Walker Cup would require at least four members on each team be age 25 or older.  The US team would be the top 6 ranked ams with at least 3 to be age 25 or older, the top 2 in the US am who are not on the team from the rankings and then 2 picks by the captain, with 1 of these picks having to be age 25 or older.

[John Kavanaugh]

You win, it is impossible to edit out someone shooting get in the hole when you are only given seven seconds. This explains a lot about your inability to get the ball in the hole. If it can be done in a day it can be done in seven seconds.  Quit shitting on my dream and focus on the task.

[George Pazin]

If they can get a yellow line on a football field and a glowing hockey puck, I refuse to believe they couldn't separate human voices from the sound of the strike. Where there's a will...

If they can't do that, then this...

Having watched too much golf on television, I would love to detain the lout that shouts "Go in the hole" at every opportunity. After due process, I would suggest a mild lashing with a rhinocerous whip and thirty days on bread and water. 


Bob

will suffice.
