...remotely like the heckling I heard on Saturday (and on TV on Sunday).

Yes, New Yorkers have a serious dumbass quotient, yes, the prior Ryder Cup on L.I. amped things up...but the factor that I haven't heard mentioned (at least much) is the effect of in-pocket 24/7 gambling.

Watching folks gambling all over the course on Thursday and Saturday. More the young, 17 - 30. Large group of youngsters (to me) by us between 5 and 15th greens was prop betting on all sorts of stupid things as each group came by and yelling at some golfers...

I really think the gambling is only going to magnify the heckling aspect across all sports as folks take out their frustrations for their in-the-moment stupidity and losses...

Sad display. I wasn't rooting for Clark but certainly respected what he did and would never think of trying to negatively impact players and play...
