    I see golfers are starting to spit on the course...-eg. Tiger woord.

    this is not the way golfers should behave, golf is not rugby,it is a classy sport and there must be fines or penalties for spitting.

     

    anyone agrees?

    I agree whole heartedly,the only trouble is you can't just leave it with sportsmen/women.Probably 80% of the people on this planet would get fined and yes it is a disgusting habit and i curse every day at the people i see doing it.

    Snobbery should be penalised also, If you are an intolerant snob there should be sanctions as well because you are setting a terrible example to young people

    I abhor cursing and all forms of blasphemy perhaps there should be fines and sanctions for that too, oh and don't forget intolerant snobs either.

    I find the spitting to be a disgusting habit, too, but understandable in his case. Tiger Woods has multiple allergies, many of them to things on the golf courses. They produce phlegm. In his case taking multiple drugs to suppress all of them are not an answer.

    Tiger is the most photographed and followed golfer in the world. When he spits, even for health reasons, it's going to be on camera.

    Rather than simply condemn the practice and suggest fines, what is your positive suggestion to solve his problems while still allowing him to maintain the sharpness needed to play the game at such a high level?

    "Momma looked down and spit on the ground every time his name was mentioned." :-D

    Not only tiger woods does it, i have seen many golfers do it. Not all of them have allergies.

    It doesn't or wouldn't trouble me at all as long as the spit misses my Padrone cigar. Nevertheless, I would draw the line if Tiger started 5hitting on the ground...especially with the allergies.
