You're
watching golf on TV, or you're at a golf tournament
following your favorite golfers. It could be the US
Open, the Masters, the British Open, you name the
tournament.
The
golfer walks up to the tee. It's quiet and the
crowd has silenced. The birds are chirping, and the
wind is rustling throught the trees. He pulls his
driver from his bag. It's a 528 yard par 5 hole,
with a dogleg left. The golfer steps up to the
ball, sets, and swings. And just as you hear the
metal driver ping, some hooligan screams
..."GET
IN THE HOLE"
I
often wonder why it is in golf that one needs
silence to his a stationary ball sitting on a tee,
yet a baseball player must contend with a 90+ mph
fastball, or worse, a wicked slider, with 50,000
screaming fans in the background.
It
might be interesting to see each sport with a
little role reversal. Screaming fans on the golf
course, and golf silence and etiquette on the
baseball diamond. Well, maybe not too interesting,
but just a thought.
Of
course, when some drunk looking for his 15 minutes
of fame runs onto the football field, everyone is
hoping some linebacker clotheslines the
knucklehead. And then there are the infamous
"soccer hooligans." But in golf, no matter how far
from the cup, 5 feet or 500 yards, someone can be
heard screaming, "get in the hole."
I
will, however, make a prediction.
Vuvuzela
blowing
fans will begin showing up at every sporting event
from golf to baseball, from basketball and hockey
to football.
