I've never heard someone "yelling," just talking. However, a couple of days ago, my buddy was making a 15 foot putt. He ended up landing the ball right on the rim of the hole. Probably in anger or annoyance, he slammed his foot, and the ball went in.

I personally wouldn't do either, but everyone is different, I guess.

Oh, I'll shout 'SIT DOWN' and 'COME BACK', but 'GET IN THE HOLE' off the tee? Never, lol.

This is what I don't get about yelling "get in the hole". People only yell it on shots that have practically 0 chance of going in.

Yes, people have holed out from 100 yards, and there have definitely been of hole-in-ones on 150yd par 3s, but that happens what, like 0.0001% of the time? If you're going to yell "get in the hole", why not on a shot that actually might go into the hole?

First off, I did search and saw a few old posts on this topic, but...

I just don't get it.  It was very hard to watch 4 days of golf with every shot being followed by some guy yelling "GET IN THE HOLE!".

It just astounds me that there were at least 54 people in attendance EVERY DAY that wanted to yell this on every shot.

- On the tee, par 5,4,3 yell it.

- On the fairway, 250, 200, 100 yards out, yell it.

- On the green, fried egg, chunked rough, behind a tree, yell it.

I want to hear the commentary, so I don't mute, but I would pay $100 for a filter that would edit it out every time it was yelled.

Rant over.

It doesn't really bother me to the point where I would want to mute it, but I hear your point.  There are lots of strange and sometimes annoying traditions on the PGA Tour.  I'm not sure it would be the same without someone yelling "GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!"

I find "GET IN THE HOLE!" and "YOU DA MAN!" to be very annoying. I got a laugh when some guy shouted "BABA BOOEY!" yesterday, but nothing will beat the "MASHED POTATOES!" guy from Chevron last year.

While personally I love the game but am very put off by the stuffy and pretentious nature of some of the rules and mores, I completely agree. I'm not entirely sure how the players cope knowing nano-seconds after they strike the ball they'll be met with a deluge of inane screaming. It must be extremely off putting.

Wow, it really bugs you? i am assuming you are of an older age, but then again young cheer leaders is your profile pic hmmmm.... It doesn't bother me one bit.

I will never forget 3 years ago a nationwide tour stop at my home course, colt knost 130 out in a fairway bunker, I was up on the green, Colt chunked it maybe 15 yards and I yelled "Get in the Hole!" I don't know if he heard but on the same hole he missed a 4 footer and I clapped and he looked over and gave me the dirtiest look ever, I was pretty embarissed but hey they could have been claps of encouragement. Funny thing is I walked right by him next day and he looked at me but I don't think he recognized me or maybe he did, I just smiled.

There was a guy at the US Open that shouted "YABADABADOO" after one of the shots.  Normally it's annoying, but if you're at least original like he was it isn't so bad.  That one got me to laugh.

I love when people yell "WOOOOOOOOOOO" off the tee I think it pumps up the players a bit too. I also don't mind "Get in the hole" no matter where it's from. To me, it has become a saying in golf just hoping for a good shot. I don't like that everyone is screaming "mashed potatoes" now... Has nothing to do with golf

    • Shot an 89, 12.2 differential.  
    • There's no such thing as the spirit of the rule. And, you do realize how insanely small the time window and the level of water is for water to come up with one person standing there but not another person, right? It's basically never going to actually happen like that. There are lots of rules like this: a 7' tall person's knee height drop is from higher up than a 4' tall junior's drop. Their driver is also longer, so they get a larger relief area. What are you gonna do? Beyond that, my reply to you is the same as @DaveP043's: write a better one. This one is easy to understand and enforce. The penalty for playing from a wrong place is two strokes, so no, it's not significant. In that sense, the potential advantage must be > 2 strokes. No, it's not "irrespective of it." That's why the penalty exists. If it's significant, it's a DQ, which is the ultimate penalty. See above. They don't need to judge that. No, he didn't. He could have taken one stroke to drop in the same place. This was already stated. Instead, he paid two. Of course they do.
    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".
