I’m... guessing... Budweiser didn’t sponsor the Master’s this year?

Just a hunch.

It’s a private venue. They CAN throw you out.

This is the Augusta National Golf Club. Being a private club, they have all the rights to impose their own rules on their property.

And finally, my captain said after a rough landing in weather, “Well that was a dilly of a landing there girl”

That beats your instructor screaming “What the hell are you doing!!??”

Good. I wish they’d ban all yelling. It’s gotten out of hand with the yellers wanting to be the first and loudest to yell something as soon as a golfer hits the ball.

How very (low brow) American.

Spend big money to go to a golf tournament just so you can be obnoxious and disruptive.

How about ejection for yelling out anything prior to the point the golf ball stops moving? Bunch of yahoos.

Remember when all you used to hear during golf tournaments was polite clapping?

It has to be distracting when you know that the split second you make contact with the ball, all drunken hell is going to break loose!

IN THE HOLE! Ejection for that too, please.

The guard hauls you out, puts one "in the hole" and you'll have a painful ride home.

I want a LEGAL change to the rule book.

“Anyone who shouts ‘GET IN THE HOLE!’ on ANY shot is immediately game for a knee-capping by anyone standing nearby”

The "humor" of the phrase is really a marketing ploy to create a "buzzword."

It's from a series of beer commercials last year set in medieval England, where the king would shout "dilly dilly" when pleased with a tribute, and send a person to the dungeon if the gift disappoints.

It's been recently expanded to cheer on the troops at a battlefront, where they are overwhelmed by a larger force, but for a "Bud Knight" marching through enemy lines to get a case of beer.

The Masters takes place on private property. The government has nothing to do with it.

...

And they have a high standard of behavior which is one of the reasons I like it so much.

Now, if only they would toss people off the course for yelling, "GET IN THE HOLE!"...I'd be a happy camper.

So if someone wouldn’t mind, I would like to understand the humor in these phrases and why would anyone yell then at a golf tournament?

I'll take a stab at it....

It doesn't make much sense, but.... many years ago, some idiot in the golf fandom thought it would be cool to YELL something just as the golfer strikes the ball. I think, it started as a mocking response to all the demands for "QUIET!!" prior to the golfer's swing. It's all.. hush, hush... shhhhhhh!! So, it feels cathartic to some to yell "YOU DA MAN!", or "IN THE HOLE" when the ball gets hit.

Now, it's kind of a game to see who can yell something first... who can yell the loudest.

"Dilly Dilly" is just the punch line of jokes in a series of comical Bud Light commercials. I haven't heard it, but... my guess it, "Dilly Dilly" has become the "new yell" at golf tourneys this year.

It's silly silly, and Augusta National HATES all things silly. Plus, they probably didn't get a sponsorship from Budweiser, so... they are extra-averse to letting Bud get free advertisement from silly fans.

Maybe there's a better answer somewhere for you.... but, I doubt it.

If you didn’t bend the gear you’re good.
