The golf world reacts to the beer-bottle shower!
The photos of the beer bottles at the TPC Scottsdale are circulating all over the internet. The volunteers and workers at the golf course had to remove the bottles to continue the tournament. Stephen Cox, a PGA Tour official, took Twitter to acknowledge this situation. He posted,
25 years in professional golf I’ve had a delay in play for situations related to weather, a gas leak, fire, medical emergency but never for excess beer cans 🍻 That’s me above the red line trying clean up the mess. Wild scenes @WMPhoenixOpen
A golf journalist, Ryan Barath, also took Twitter to address the situation.
Can someone please explain to me how this of all things “grows the game”?

The posts of them clearly indicated they were not happy with the situation. However, the fans didn’t agree with them. A writer at Golf Digest wrote: “Sure. It changes the perception of golf. People see this and think “wow, maybe golf isn’t so stuffy and elitist. Maybe it can be fun.” As such, they’re more likely to want to pick up the game or go to a tournament. Really not that complicated.”
It's not. Did anyone say it was? This is a tournament held at a massive frat party. It's one event per year. Enjoy it, laugh at it, it's not hurting the game at all
I think watching the ball go in and fans go crazy is awesome for golf and appeals to a certain audience. I’m all for growing the game, but not everything has to have that focus. Just my thoughts 🤷🏼♂️
Hi Coxy mate, the Sam Ryder Hole in 1 is great viewing though to be fair👍. Would love to be in that arena looks awesome, maybe not for you but would love to see this at the Ryder Cup 👍 my best pal 💪
Well as for the rubbish thrown it is the waste management event so fits the sponsor really well 😀😀 as for the behaviour of the fans it’s only one hole embrace it.

Hoffman going to post about unfair playing conditions
Charley Hoffman is an American professional golfer. Recently, he had been getting media attention for throwing shades at the PGA Tour. He accused the organization of making penalty rules that make no sense. Moreover, he added that this nature of PGA makes the golfers go to different leagues. Since Paige mentioned Hoffman in the post, it became funny.
Celebration is one thing. However, there are some consequences to it. Although it was nothing big, the event had to be stopped to clean the premises.
