How does Tiger Woods deal with it? Baseball players at the plate, basketball players at the freethrow line, and football players attempting a field goal seem to deal with it OK.

But if it's that big a problem, it sounds like the PGA and the courses they play on need to develop and enforce rules about fan conduct.

Tiger deals with it the way all of the other Tour players do-- he tells them where to go. Didn't you see him back off his shot at the Open when a photographer shot him right before he pulled the trigger? Turned around and yelled, "come on!" Other professional sports have a constant noise level to which players become accustomed.

In golf, the majority of the time is quiet, because most fans of golf are well-mannered. When a knucklehead blurts out something stupid, it can screw you up.
