Really must I see Ol' Boo spit his way down 18 holes? Ok, I get it he's a redneck. Enough already. One of the things I love about golf is that it is still a "Gentleman's Game" and Happy Madison is still a joke and not the norm.

Actually, I'd like to see him and Monty paired in match play...it'd be like Oscar and Felix, or maybe Hawkeye and Winchester, or maybe...

I bolded your truest statement. I don't see a problem with how anybody on the tour is behaving.
I guess we just see appropriate behavior differently. No, I do not slam clubs, throw clubs, throw golf balls, etc, no matter how I'm playing. You can believe that. I may have a moment of disgust after hitting a shank, but it stays contained. We don't all act on this frustration by throwing a tantrum.

did anyone else see Sergio spit into the cup on 13 or 14 yesterday?

I think that deserves more of a fine than slamming a club.

Yes, it's one thing to slam a club, it's another to spit into a cup that other players will need to take their ball out of.

I never slam my clubs, because I have to pay for them!

At least there is some hope. There are some out there who think some decorum on the course is appropriate. Sergio did Whaaaaat? Tell me you jest! I can't believe that. Maybe he was making a Boo Weekly point. The cup, the green, what difference does it make?
