It's not just heckling, it's the ridiculous "In the hole!" or "Bababooie!" after a tee shot that gets to me. There is less and less decorum the past decade or so, and some of it seems to be encouraged, like the stadium hole at Phoenix. It could be stopped by kicking people out because it's definitely a small minority. Whether it was Fox's extra mics or the crowd itself, it really sounded bad on TV. It was like they emptied out the bars in Brooklyn and Queens and bussed them out to Shinnecock. With the general decline in interest in golf, however, I'm not sure anyone will take the steps necessary to control fans, except maybe Augusta National.
