If I had one super power

It would be to have the ability to invisibly slap every single golfer/golf fan who yells, "GET IN THE HOLE". Drives me nuts. Watching the Masters and one of the pros tees off on a 442 yard par 4, and people in the crowd yell, "GET IN THE HOLE". I am convinced, these are males who aren't playing with a full deck, and need attention and willing to do anything - no matter how stupid - just to draw attention to themselves  :angryfire:

I would love to be like the Invisible Man, being able to make yourself invisible to others and be able to be, like what we refer to as a 'fly on the wall'. I would love to be in the room for many discussions about world events et al. and know what was really going on.
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.

My noble side would want to be harm proof like Superman and take on bad guys.

My selfish side would want to be able to eat what I want and as much as I want without gaining weight.

Chris, I could see how that could bug you.

When I was playing softball I wish I had a dollar for every time someone hit a routine fly ball and someone would shout "Can of corn!".  That irked me.

Well, I'm Ric, not Chris, but that's okay. Been called far worse

Yelling, "get in the hole" every time someone hits the golf ball, was novel the first time I heard it years ago. But once a dozen or more people yell it for the 40,000 time...it's like "enough already". I love golf, but I'm a hacker. I've had one of my golf partners yell "get in the hole" when my shot is clearly heading for the woods or about to plunk in a water hazard (water is a magnet to my golf shots). My shot is never going in the hole from the tee box (although I got a double eagle once and no one yelled for it to get on the hole", and no professional golfer is going to get a hole in one on a 460 yd dog leg par 4 - yet a bunch of guys will yell it anyway. They must not understand the game at all and simply like to hear themselves  :-??

Hey Richris, 😉 tell me about it. I live on a golf course, so I hear all kinds of buffoonery most every day. Perhaps the most puzzling blather I've heard was when some guy once duffed his second shot and yelled out, "Ohhh raisin-head!!" Never heard that before or since. I've also never actually looked it up to see if there's some derogatory meaning to it. I'm afraid of what I might find.

Never heard that one, but I'm sure far worse words than Raisin-head have been yelled on a golf course, coming from priests to fair women and from my own mouth. Frustrating game.

My super power would be time travel. I could go back and get all of the answers to life's most talked-about mysteries.  :yes:

Time travel would be fun, but my interest would probably be in going back in time to buy stocks, winning lottery tickets, and betting on games...LOL. That, and probably do a lot of apologizing to a certain gal, or at the least, change what I said...duhhh

Interestingly, I caught a few minutes of "Gutfeld", last week, and the question was asked, "what super power do you wish you had?" One guy said, "I'd like to be invisible and kick a guy in the balls if he yelled, "get in the hole"...and he went on about people saying those words during a tee shot on a par 4. I thought, "son of a gun...that guy reads this message board". It seemed just too odd to chalk it up to coincidence  :-??
