come on.... every hole it screamed out (par 5's par 4's) it sounds like one guy and he really bugs the hell out of me... why is no one slapping him every time he does it...
am I the only one?
Full Version: Tiger's "IN THE HOLE" guy....
Probably not, but then you have to single out Phil, Boo, etc, etc....
I hate all those guys...and the udaman too.
Agreed, but these are also the people that get the vanity plates from the dmv that make no sense. Darwin is right and they eventually weed themselves out of the gene pool.
I would make a poor deity.... Those people would be blasted from existence.
I truly, truly would like to know what motivates them, and what sort of image they think they are giving. I've heard all the arguments of free speech, excitement, etc., but I don't know... it just sounds moronic to me.... Call me dull I guess.
All it would take is for Tiger to just once call out one of those fools and let them know how foolish they sound.... But that will never happen.

It's actually Stevie yelling that. You never noticed that? He'll never get rid of that annoying guy.
I Think the guy has Tourettes...
But it is damn annoying! .. Even if i want it to go in the hole.

BUD LIGHT = MOTIVATION
I too am getting tired of hearing this. If it was a putt or something that would be fine but tee shots on par 5's, even when people lay up you have to hear this. I can live with it, but would rather not hear it if I had a choice.
I think this is a ratings opportunity.
Imagine if the Player (or their caddy) could plunge into the crowd with a driver to club a "YOUDAMAN" moron like a baby seal after two warnings.
That would be television worth watching.

yea when tiger hit his first tee shot on wed it was really over the line! especially the "you are back tiger you are back" at the top of his lungs guy! people take their freedom of speech a little too far nowadays! i used to think golf was sacred but these tools that make it to pga tour events are getting out of hand. it used to be the most drastic thing u used to see was the guy with the rainbow afro and john 3:16 shirt. do u actually think that tiger is going to go out of his way to come over and fist bump you like phil? no way...leave the screaming for when he drops a 20 footer to win the open...until then pipe down!

If I didn't know better, I would have thought Will Ferrell was in the crowd saying that. It sounded just like him.
And yes, it IS annoying.

Didja ever watch baseball on TV and see the parade of clowns who position themselves where they are in the background during the closer shots of the batter? You know, the ones holding a cell phone in one hand, waving furiously with the other, all with the sillya$$ grin plastered on their face.
The shouters on the course are the same mentality. "Hey y'all, that's ME on TV!"
They're out there folks. We gotta live with 'em...

This week's resident 'youdaman guy' obviously has little else in his life that makes him feel valued and worthwhile, and perhaps shouting out something utterly unnecessary and foolish on nearly every hole - and then going home to watch the TV coverage of the event that he recorded and being able to proudly pick out the sound of his own voice - makes him feel a little bit more important; or perhaps feel somehow connected to Woods as an 'extra special' fan. Whatever; it makes perfect sense to me for someone to shout 'get in the hole!' on the tee of a par 5 hole - or, as we had later in the match, when the ball is clearly heading forty yards right of the target into the bushes. It adds to the atmosphere and really does augment the tournament experience for me. I thank him for his efforts.
Unencumbered as this chap clearly is with even a modest level of intelligence, we should be happy that he's found something that gives him pleasure. Plus, it must be exciting for him to decide whether to shout 'youdaman' or 'get in the hole' on each tee. A couple of times, he had so much trouble deciding between the two that he resorted to simply shouting out Woods' given name after contact was made with the ball. You have to admire the bloke's ability to think on his feet and adapt to circumstances if nothing else.
I reckon he must be good friends with the lad who came out with 'be precise!' after Lee Westwood's tee shot with an jron in his play-off against Cink. Perhaps the two of them had a great time together afterwards, excitedly swapping stories of what they yelled, and on what hole. It makes a nice thought doesn't it? Sort of like one of those wildlife programmes when you see one chimp picking the muck out of another's fur.
Less sarcastically, it's a great shame but until the PGA Tour develop an IQ Screening Device that can be employed at the gates of golf tournaments, I feel we're doomed to suffer such idiocy for years to come. Perhaps the tickets could have a fingerprint ID feature that cross references the prospective patron's IQ and has the option to refuse him or her entry to the venue if it falls below a predetermined level? Greg Norman summed up one such utterance many moons back with a startlingly frank and erudite response to the 'fan': 'what an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. You must be a complete moron...' In the interim period, whilst the technology is developed, perhaps Greg could be enticed back to the tour? Just throwing ideas out there. Brainstorming you might say. As opposed to brain dead.
Never mind asking the players to shave. If Tim Finchem were to appeal to fans not to act like they've had a lobotomy when they attend tournaments he'd instantly go up in my estimation. Possibly to about 5'8".

Personally, I vote for the tour employing some marshals who are equipped with some dentistry equipment and who are authorised by federal law to conduct Lawrence Olivier-like procedures upon the errant fans when they are identified. They could have a tour van, a bit like the OEMs have, with all the gear inside. I'd be happy to pay a modest supplement on the ticket price to fund such a scheme.

I was there this week and I had to laugh when someone screamed "Nice Shirt Tiger" after he ripped it down the pipe on his first tee shot on Weds..
At least it is original..
That said, I'll take these clowns over some of the nonsense I saw when I walked with Sergio (I was inside the ropes). Some absolute tool said to Sergio- and was no father than 5 feet away when he said it:
"Locker rooms big enough for you Sergio? We got a whole bat pole of excuses for you if you need them".
Absolutely class A ****** bag. This kid was a punk- plain and simple.
Sergio walked right by him, muttered something on the next tee, and then drilled it 360 yards.

It would be hilarious if a big-name player* said something like this again. Unfortunately, the type of attention whore that would yell "GET IN THE HOLE" on every single shot would only be encouraged by a response like this, and more people would yell things hoping they can tell all their friends how they were the one being called out by a pro on TV.
*Except for Phil or Sergio - we would get endless commentary on what an epic jerk they are for trying to ruin someone's "viewing" experience.

The rowdiest fans seem to surface at desert courses and in NY/NJ, but these "get in the hole and u-da-man" guys manage to show up every week on the tour. They remind me of the wasted guys with loud voices who hang around too long at the local bars. I'm really laughing my @ss off at all these posts. You guys are great. Keep it up. 
lol. who cares? as long as it's not in the backswing, does it matter? all the people I know who went to schools like U of A and ASU made it a point to get hammered and go to FBR every year and yell stupid stuff. The "nice shirt tiger" comment is awesome. The way I see it, even if I'm tired of Tiger coverage, he brings fans to the sport that would never have cared for it otherwise and that helps our overall sport.

FBR is a little different though as every Player & fan expects it, as it's apart of a natural atmosphere that has evolved over the years.
There is a big difference between thousands of spectators going nuts after every shot, and 1 lone obnoxious tool trying to get attention.

Yes, Mat! A man after my own heart. Old enough to remember a great film.
However, to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson's comment about a pepper gas fogger ad he read in the "Police Chief" magazine, "Dentistry equipment slaps at the problem. Nerve gas solves it."
The words alone are a little ridiculous, but I am all for pure excitement and intensity from the fans after every shot. Anyone who has played American Football or is an avid fan, knows the kind of goose bumps and excitement you get watching your team play. If your a big fan of a particular golfer and want to go nuts after they crush a drive, or stuff it close I think thats great. However screaming the same damn thing like "Get in da hole" after every shot is just getting old.
They're easy enough to spot - they're normally the fat arse drunken loudmouth douchebags with the hats on backward
that make it miserable for anyone to follow their favorite players
The next w@nker that yells get-in-the-hole or you-da-man within striking distance of me is getting kung-fu'd

When I hear someone yell like that, I always think that the beer tents must be doing well that day. Not to mention they are selling at $5-6 each
Atleast that guy is having a good time and getting his moneys worth.
My brother was going to do that last year at the Memorial, so I punched him in the stomach. Needless to say that was the last time he thought about that.

The "You are back" guy needed to be beaten. It made me cringe. However, the Sergio heckler story was pretty entertaining. Loved it.
they have all this great technology now with protracer and aimponit for the greens, How can they not have a mute button on the mic that the sound guy can press after the player hits his shot. What are we really waiting to hear after the sound of the ball? That would at least make the home viewing more enjoyable.
The next guy who says it should be brained with a wedge and buried in the nearest bunker.
Anyone catch the little kid yelling "I love you Tiger, you can beat that guy!" on Wednesday.
haha
haha
Regarding the question of who that guy is referred to in the original post, I know him. Actually, though, it's about 10 different guys who live in different parts of the country. They walk around jazzed on Cialis.
The one in San Diego infrequently leaps to the top of his desktop in his cubicle at work screaming the same thing: "GET IN THE HOLE!"
It's a sad, sad, thing.
