Really wish I was in town during this event. The pictures of my family (dad, brother, 2 nephews) make me very happy for them but very sad for me.

You can take the viewpoint expressed by my buddy who was with me (and is 54 years old.) On the way out he said, "when this thing comes back to Hazeltine in 64 years, I'm definitely going again."

I would definitely go. Even if you don't get tickets from the lottery system, (which if the experience of me, my friends and family is any indication, you won't), buy them on the secondary market. I bought mine about two weeks before the event from PrimeSport, the official re-sale vendor, and got them for just a few bucks over face value.

It was a spectacular experience. It's actually a bad experience if you want to watch the matches. We ended up moving back and forth between seats behind #5 green, seats behind #8 green and standing halfway down #16 fairway. But other than watching play on the jumbotron or following it on your phone, it's pretty tough to tell what exactly is going on elsewhere on the course.

But if you want to feel electricity in 40-50,000 people at a sporting event, there is nothing like it.

I was a little surprised to hear about crowd problems. The closest I saw to anyone getting out of line was when a fan yelled "noonan" as a player was removing his mark from behind his ball on #5. The rest of the crowd booed the fan.

Obviously, having a crowd cheer shots that go into the water or sand or over the green isn't the norm at a golf tournament, but this isn't a normal golf event. From my limited observation points (see above), what I saw was mostly enthusiastic and good-natured.

after one rory shot some fool yelled "you hate your father" which was audible over tv. willet obviously also got personal stuff yelled at him because of his silly brother.

Yeah, that never happens over there. Even Rory said bfd. Get over it.

Didn't you hear? European fans are saints.

As soon as they see Martin Kaymer they'll flee, even though he's on their team this time.

I'm trying to think of a French golfer...

Whoever he is, he's probably on his knees, lining up some putz.

I don't get the context.

Only one comes to mind and he had a major yack at The Open in 1999.

Ah yes. Carnoustie is so much fun.

Edit: but, for current guys, Dubuissen (no idea if I spelled it right) is probably the one guys out there.

I know it well. Only needed a double bogey to win. Tripled.

I thought our fans could have done a lot better. Too many idiots, who don't know how to behave.
And not all French guys are rude, just the waiters, and then just in Paris.

The Europeans are terrible as fans at this event, but they haven't shouted as a guy takes his backswing.
