What is it with the yanks and shouting random crap during golf tournaments? I was watching the us open yesterday and someone shouted MASHED POTATOES after Furkyk hit a shot, apparently they do this often.

That's stupid. Also, if you were that way inclined, surely the best time would be mid-swing?

It's Americans thinking they're funny when they're not.

They don't want to put off the golfer, they just want to be heard and make people laugh after the shots been made.

Worked with me, funny ****.

They do say that, and I can't help but usually agree with them. However, I know some Americans find it funny, unlike yelling Mashed Potatoes
