One Rory McIlroy fan got the perfect response when he shouted 'get in the hole'
Anyone who's ever watched golf knows that the fans who shout "get in the hole" the moment a tee shot has been taken are the worst people in the world.
So it was a joy to see one such person brilliantly shot down when he made himself heard during Rory McIlroy's win at the Irish Open.
"Get in the hole!"
"Get off the course"

It was slightly unclear whether the voice shooting down the over-enthusiastic fan was McIlroy's caddie JP Fitzgerald or just another spectator who knew better.
Either way, it met with firm approval.
"Get in the hole!"
different guy: "get off the course"
God bless Ireland

'Get in the hole!' said the clueless Irish Open spectator. 'GET OFF THE COURSE!', came the reply. ?

"Get in the hole" shouts some clown after Rory's tee-shot on 3. "Get off the course" comes the wonderful response #DDFIrishOpen

The punishment for shouting "get in the hole" really ought to be a lifetime ban - or possibly a lifetime membership at Muirfield.
