Golf Is Indecent Files: FCC Complaint Division

Tiger was the headline grabber but the real fun in Alan Bastable and Pete Madden's golf.com scouring of the numerous FCC complaint forms filed against golf telecasts was found later in the story.

CBS Sports announcers David Feherty and Gary McCord were criticized in 2012 by a Brooklyn, N.Y., viewer for appearing in a commercial that made “a mockery of the Roman Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation.”

Two viewers asserted that commercial breaks during golf telecasts are an inappropriate forum for promoting erectile dysfunction medications. (You know the spots -- sunsets, bathtubs, knowing glances.) “Children and young people may be watching,” wrote a viewer from Alexandria, Va.

Groused another Virginian, from Ashburn: “I just feel so violated and disgusted when I am watching golf with my five year old daughter and then a barrage of sexual issue commercials come on. … I'm no prude believe me, but enough is enough!!!”
