So basically, golf – the sport with the oldest fans – is trying to alienate young fans.

Or they have had a corporate partner pay for the rights to broadcast an event and tweeting live play by plays of the stuff that is televised later obviously doesn’t help said corporate partner….

Doesn’t mean I agree with it but there’s usually a reason rules like this get put in place. Further, odds are good I don’t hear a peep about it in most large publications like Golfweek, etc, because they don’t want to piss the PGA Tour off. Smaller publications, bloggers, etc., are up in arms, I’m sure, as to an extent I’m sure they count on providing live updates that others can’t.

Is what it is.

I still havent been to a tournament where he’s playing. It’s on my bucket list. But that guy is in the zone when he’s out there. I can’t believe he even mumbled thanks.

That was my first time seeing Tiger play in person. Get a few holes ahead of him, so you avoid the massive crowd that walks with him.

I’m assuming JMac hit Dildo with the banhammer so hard over his Musial-post stalking that it knocked everything off-center.

Obviously you are unaware that the PGA offers Shotlink and Shottracker online that will fans access to every shot already, and that doing de facto play-by-play violates most non-broadcast credentials. There is a reason they SELL broadcast rights.

Scripty, coming off the top ropes in the comments section! But yea; pretty much this. It appears one person knows whats up, and the other person needs sometime to call him a whambulance

Yep. The PGA Tour is clueless.

SEO should be used for fun stuff, like Jared Allen did coke lines off a boy scouts penis.

Are there golf tournaments where spectators can yell and scream as golfers are taking a shot?

O fer fuck their guy.

So basically, golf – the sport with the oldest fans – is trying to alienate young fans…Can the PGA Tour grasp the concept of knowing what happened vs. watching it happen?

Okay looking at the ShotTracker page:

PGA Tour – clueless, apparently.

So basically, golf – the sport with the oldest fans – is trying to alienate young fans. Are they operating out of the Bud Selig playbook?

You just had to go there didn’t you JMac?

You just don’t get it…

Not really, though the 16th (?) at Phoenix is set up for this. It would make things much more entertaining.

How disappointing. You should work on that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHWmxCoTV3Y

Some uber rich guy who pays too much in taxes for whore’s abortions and for jobless gays to drink champagne while watching hbo on their smartphones steps up to the tee. Great tea-shot, he keeps this up he’ll move to Florida.

I’m partial to the story of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner but like the arrangement of Lawyers, Guns and Money more.

Norways favorite son. I can still see his headless body walking through the night and the muzzle flash of Roland’s thompson gun…
