Immelman's son at the Master's...has that always been allowed and what do you think of it?

Question

I was a little surprised to someone so young running around at the Masters of all places, considering how many rules golf courses have.

Answer 1

Yes it has been.  The Masters allowed children 16 and under free admission this year.  I think its great and I do not have kids.

He was much better behaved than the idiot that yells "get in the hole" after every shot.

Answer 2

He was dressed more appropriately than allot of the spectators and was under control and quiet.  The one time he was shown to get loud (yelling "Daddy") his mom took him around the corner of a building and quieted him. He is a future lover and appreciator of the game and it's history.

Answer 3

WHERE WAS HE RUNNING AROUND AT??? SEEMED TO BE UNDER CONTROL TO ME!!! BETTER BEHAVED THAN SOME ADULTS I'VE SEEN... WHATS YOUR HANG-UP???

Answer 4

Yes this has happenede before. I rememebr when Mickleson won the second time both of his kids ran out onto the green.

Nothing wrong with that, surely you want to show clebration with your family!

Answer 5

Many times I have seen young children and babies greeting their fathers on the 18th green after a victory.  Why wouldn't you let him out there - his father just won a Major tournmanent.  I did notice they wouldn't let him in the scorers trailer though while they were checking the scores.  Can't afford any distractions there.
