If You Are Going To Heckle, At Least Know What You Are Saying
/Courtesy of reader thusgone, Jim McCabe reports on the Golfweek blog:
Having birdied three of his first four holes, Mickelson was roaring out of the gates when he pulled a hybrid at the short, par-4 sixth. After surveying his options, Mickelson hit what appeared to be a splendid escape shot, though it came up just short of the green. As he headed out from beneath the tree, a man clearly yelled out, “Way to go, Figjam.”
Mickelson stopped, turned, and confronted the man.
“What did you say?” Mickelson said, and the man repeated it.
Figjam is an acronym that stands for “F*** I’m good, just ask me.” Mickelson certainly knows what it means and asked for Mackay to help marshals identify the man. They did, and while Mickelson and Mackay headed to the next shot, the man was removed from the area by the marshals.
According to Mark Spencer of the Radio Golf Show, the heckler in question didn't even know what his jab stands for.
I remember the good old days when they knew what they were saying. And they were original.
