"Road Rage in the Scoring Tent"

David Fay sheds a little light on one of the last private places in the game: the post round scoring tent.

While I won't spoil the ending to his April Golf Digest column, let's just say that if Fox wants to innovate in golf, they'll convince the USGA to let them install a nanny-cam in scoring tents. Maybe stream that on a separate channel. With sound, of course.

There was this:

Some players behave like princes, regardless of their score. Good examples: Ben Crenshaw and Nick Price. On the other hand, Ben's college teammate, Tom Kite, would fall into what I coined The 67-76 Club. All smiles and compliments after a 67, but a steady stream of criticism—usually about the course setup, sometimes about the guy he was playing with—after a 76.

I preferred the guys you could count on to be jerks all the time over the chameleons whose score dictated their behavior. Let's just say that the players you've heard stories about typically lived up to their reputations. And don't think there weren't some LPGA players who could lose it, too. (By the way, it should come as no surprise that Jack Nicklaus was a model citizen: always pleasant, never saccharine, no matter his score.)
