Because it's fun. What they really mean is "Wohooo I'm so excited to see Tiger Woods in action!"
They are so happy that they don't even know what they're saying.

Drives me nuts... Frankly, at the risk of insulting someone on the boards that may indeed partake in such nonsense - I think they're jerks. "Get in the hole" and "You da man" - sheesh, come on, do you REALLY think that is cool??????

Agreed. I admit, it was funny the first 437,000,002 times that I heard it, but now it is annoying and stupid.

Because they record it, and then they can play it back and say "Listen here, I'm the idiot that yells "get in the hole" when he hits it. Told you I was there!!!"

Probably the best explanation.

It sounds stupid. "You da man" sounds better than "get in the hole" if you ask me. It would be a little better (not much though) to yell it if he were say, hitting a driver on a short par 4 (trying to drive the green). I agree with others, it was entertaining the must million times but now it really does sound dumb. Also, it seems to me it was originally reserved for the big tee shots (with a driver) and now Tiger could be hitting a 4 iron for position and it doesn't matter.

That truly is the reason. I on Sunday at Oakmont, I was on 18's green with a friend. He yelled it even for tap in. He recorded it on his dvr and went hom to see if you could here him. You can.

yes, exciting. If Tiger doesn't play people don't watch. Why? Because those tournaments are boring, plain and simple.

some what true but far from totally be true, you act as if Tiger wins every tournament he enters, and we all know that's not the case. you also seem to forget that, this STUPID term "Get in the Hole" was 1st used on John Daly and not Tiger Woods right?

To suggest this has this become a tradition is just crass . To suggest it brings excitment to golf is just plain stupid , the finish of this years Open was rather exciting despite the absence of some moron shouting get in the hole at every tee shot. The best player of all time is not yet Tiger woods Nicklaus has more major wins , second places and third places , byron nelson has won more consecutive tournaments and Bobby Jones has a vastly superior winning percentage .

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
