Catchy headline right? Well there's a reason I've baited all you 6 people who venture onto this website. The reason is we have to let the golfing gallery know that there are 4 words that are absolutely destroying golf.
Those 4 puke inducing words are:
GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!
Those words are absolutely killing golf as we know it. It wasn't too bad 10 years ago when a putt was really tracking and someone yelled it out but really folks, the ball isn't going in the hole from the tee on a par 5. Not to mention, they're screaming it .008 seconds after the clubface hits the ball. They will forever be known as the 4 words we don't speak of.
I've been ranting about those 4 words we don't speak of for about 3 years but finally, just yesterday, the announcers made a comment about how abnoxious it is for the fans to scream that. Why can't the marshalls do something? Why can't they kick out every douchebag that screams those 4 words we don't speak of at ridiculous times? Can they put up signs that say, "Jerkoffs will be escorted from the premises"?
It's insulting a bit to the integrity of the game to have it made a mockery of in that fashion. Maybe I'm looking a little too deep into it but there's just no need for it. Golf is a game of quiet, of concentration, of nerve control. This is the only sport where you need to keep your excitement in check or you won't be able to perform.
This is the reason we need to spread the website so people can read this post and the agreeing comments that you, the reader, will provide. This way people who are screaming those horrible 4 words we don't speak of can realize how stupid they are. If that doesn't work, we need to get some low flying planes with banners attached to them reading to not scream those words.
This is the only sport that people can actually learn lessons in life by playing by the rules. This sport teaches honor, integrity, and humility. Let's try to preserve it and get rid of idiots who are trying to tarnish this great game. If you're ever around someone who likes to scream those 4 words we don't speak of, be sure to let them know how much of an idiot they sound like and how they're disrespecting over 100 years of tradition. If golf can have rules for every single scenario in the world, they can sure as hell get rid of those 4 words we don't speak of.
On another note, why can't photographers wait until the golfers are finished with their swing before they take the picture. Someone is going to get seriously hurt one of these days, and legitimately. Not like John Daly who can hurt himself getting off the toilet. There are so many muscles that are utilized in the golf swing that a simple distraction can do some serious damage.
So clicking cameras are just as big a nuisance as those 4 words which we won't speak of. Let's get rid of both and get golf back to normal.

Holy anger, Batman! JK. You know how much I hate it when people yell that, so I am in total agreement. I am convinced it is Happy Gilmore's fault.
Are you kidding me butch, I know the 4 worst word in golf, YOUR STILL AWAY...................DI*K
I agree completely. Bobby Jones surely wouldn't have tolerated that. Can you imagine the glare "The Hawk" would have given to the individual who exclaimed those 4 puke inducing words. Sad to say but I believe there was a higher level of integrity in the game of golf with regards to the fans back in the's 40's -70's...On another note....I never liked to hear those 3 dreaded words...."It's still you!"
I think it just part of the game today. Tiger has made the game so popular that different age fans are showing up to events. These fans tend to be younger and maybe party more than the 75 year old beside them. As long as it doesn't interfere with the players, whats the problem? These events should be fun and attract all ages of fans. I'm sure the PGA and tournament sponsors are not complaining about all the increased revenue. Things change. No sport and its fans are like it used to be 50 years ago. If a golf event just consisted of a subtle golf clap and a low volume "well done", that would suck. Fans get fired up. I think I've seen you fired up about a sporting event before Butch. Just learn to love it.
I know you get fired up when you look at all those Tiger posters in your bedroom at night, so let it out.....
My Tiger fantasy has nothing to do with inconsideration. I'm a rowdy guy for a fact. When it calls for being rowdy. As i said, when a putt is tracking, let the roar begin. But these people are only screaming to hear their own voice when they say those 4 words we don't speak of after a tee shot on a 550 yard hole. The game is different, that's for sure, but that doesn't change 100 years of tradition. I love the FBR because the crowds are crazy but they don't scream until the ball is way off the club face.
I'm not a simple golf clap guy, let the crowds roar when someone drains a huge putt. That's the best part. But they're taking away the importance of those important putts by screaming for no reason. Get those clowns outta there and get someone in who appreciates the game.
