“We’re going to be leaders in this space,” he said. “We’re going to show everyone how easy it is to enjoy yourself at an event while also respecting the athletes in the field of play and the fans around you, many of whom are families with young kids who have a chance to be lifetime fans of the game themselves. Quite honestly, we should expect nothing less from each other, whether we’re at a golf tournament or elsewhere in life.”

The frustration got to us, and I didn’t mean to offend anybody, and if I did offend anybody, we apologize.”

We hope this act is one small way that we can help alleviate some of the stress the university is currently enduring.”
