Augusta chairman: Thou shalt not shout 'mashed potatoes' at The Masters
Augusta chairman Fred Ridley reveals Masters venue continues to take patron behaviour seriously.
I guess when you're paying thousands of dollars to become a patron for the week at the Masters, chances are you've not signed up to act like a prat - even if a pint does only cost you $3.
Fresh off the recent trend in heckling on the PGA Tour, Augusta's new chairman Fred Ridley has reiterated the historic Georgia club's stance on crowd patron behaviour, and it goes along the lines of 'thou shalt not shout out mashed potatoes'.

In other words, if you route for someone's golf ball to go into a bunker, you will be booted out immediately - despite what PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan recently said.
Ridley said: "I can’t cite any specific examples, but when you hear something improper, you know what it is."
