O/T Have you noticed an improvement regards course conduct over the last year.
« on: October 28, 2011, 12:04:23 PM »


What happened to the appalling conduct of many of our Pros. Hardly any now appear on TV or are reported

What happened to the club throwing dick heads, their tantrums and general disgraceful course behaviour over the last year.

And has your TV viewing been more enjoyable for the improved manners of the players?

If there has been--and i think it's possible--it's because the A-holes haven't been on contention as much. 

Look at who is on the top of the money list.

Luke Donald, Webb Simpson, Nick Watney, K.J. Choi, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Bill Haas, Steve Stricker, Jason Day, David Toms, Adam Scott etc., etc.

Can you imagine a more vanilla, bland, no-temper bunch of nice guys than that???

Melvyn,

If you are referring to the professional tour I suggest you ask Tim Finchen, he is the one that fines the miscceants for their transgressions.

I am not sure about the last year but I think that over a long period of time golfing behavior has indeed improved. Tommy Bolt's foul mouthed treatment of his black caddie in a tour of South Africa many years ago would have resulted in a prison term if uttered today. I must say that the one contretempt that I would dearly have loved to witness was the one punch ko of Christy O'Connor by Harry Weetman.

No Melvyn, we do indeed live in boring times.

Haha!! I have heard about 4 or 5 stories in relation to Christie O'Connor - all of them priceless - I must google this one and see what I can find!

Briam.

I doubt it was ever recorded by the press. Christy made a rather crude comment about Weetman's wife and Harry clocked him; Harry was a big man.
