" In The Hole"

" In The Hole"

  •  

    Maybe it's just me, but anyonre who shouts "in the hole" from the gallery should be staked on the driving range 200 yards out for a day.  Am I just grumpy or does this get under anyone elses collar?

    Deno - I recommend the 100 yard marker...

    I agree Deno, but how about 20 yards out. Like the pane of glass on the Big Break shows. It's so annoying, I don't know what anyone gets out of yelling that.

    You are right Deno. It is like being surrounded by a bunch of idiots. But why ruin a good driving range-fill their pockets with X-Outs and sink them in a water hole.

    Nah, you're definitely not grumpy. Really get's me when they yell it out after drives on par 5s.

    Just pips those guys driving past the course yelling out FORE!

    Stake 'em all ... great idea.

    Good idea ToddL.

    One of the most annoying "traditions" ever.

  •  
    The chatter on the tee boxes this week has been unacceptable. Unreal how much "in the hole", "go Tiger", "Mashed Potatoes" has been shouted. It must drive them nuts,because it drives me nuts.

    Bad thing is I doubt alcohol has a lot to do with it, wish you could point that yahoo out and pooof, he's ejected!

    Good idea Deno and, I like the "Big Break" 20 yard idea. I've asked the few tour pros I have met what annoys them most and the "Get in the hole!" guy wins every time. As for what drives a lot of golfers crazy is the guy on the adjacent fairway that insists in yelling at his golf ball as if his/her voice will command the ball to do whatever they say. Invariably, their Zeus-like command is while you are starting your downswing.

    Not at all Deno, all I could do is watch the game in silence. . . but I like poof it's gone by TNT!

    Almost as bad as "you da man".  Jerks just like to be jerks.

    "Mashed Potatoes!"

    Three time offender...Oh how I wish it could happen!!
