"In golf, customs and etiquette and decorum are just as important as rules governing play. It is appropriate for spectators to applaud successful strokes in proportion to difficulty but excessive demonstrations by a player or his partisans are not proper because of the possible effect upon other competitors."
"The Ryder Cup last year was an unruly, disgusting disgrace when it came to spectator behaviour. There were ejections at the Players Championship last month after Rory McIlroy was heckled on separate occasions."
The Masters at Augusta National provides a unique atmosphere where traditions and etiquette are strictly upheld, contrasting sharply with the chaotic behavior seen at other golf events. Spectators are reminded of the importance of manners and decorum, as highlighted by a quote from Bobby Jones. This year's tournament serves as a welcome respite from the fractious nature of contemporary society and the unruly conduct observed at events like the Ryder Cup and the Phoenix Open.
