ORLANDO, Fla. -- Rory McIlroy wondered Saturday whether limiting alcohol sales might help curb some of the loud and abusive behavior he believes is getting worse at PGA Tour tournaments.
A month ago, McIlroy suggested that the commotion that surrounds a group following Tiger Woods cost the 14-time major champion half a shot per round.
"It's tiring," McIlroy said. "I've got a headache after all that."

Rory is right. We live across the street from Muirfield Village Golf Club. Jack Nicklaus will once again host the Memorial golf tournament in late May. One of the advantages of living where we do is free tickets abound. My neighbor's husband, now deceased, was one of the original founders, number five, at Muirfield. His wife still receives passes to the VIP rooms providong free food and drink. Of course, she gives us whatever number of tickets we desire.
We stopped going a few years ago. Oh, we'll go over on a Thursday when the crowds are few and the rambunctious youthful ones haven't made their presence known. On Saturday and Sunday we stay away. The youngsters, twenties though forties take over a create havoc throughout the grounds primarily because of their drunken behavior. W can do without the harassment of golfers, the swearing, etc. Being intelligent beyond my years I would shut my mouth. Who wants to get beat up?
I don't mind. I can lie on the couch and watch on television.The refrigerator and toilet are ten feet away---tops. Old age has its privileges.
