Guys have tried it with Tiger pre-round in the press and have been buried. You might awaken a player who had written himself off.

Henny.... thank you. Isn't that what the game is about? Don't we love the game, partially because it has a bit more integrity than most other games? Don't we all want to behave like we've graduated high school? Why would I ever want to delibrately do something that would annoy another player?
One of the great joys I've gotten from high level competition (state am. sen. am stuff) is the association with other good and much better players. I golf my ball, they golf theirs ... the best man wins... afterwards we have dinner.. the next year I see the same faces and we genuinely enjoy seeing and playing with each other.... why would I want to behave like a 4 yr. old and ruin that? ....anyone who would delibrately try to annoy another person in a feeble attempt to win....would look inadequate and foolish and needs some help.
