Golf etiquette calls for silence on a player’s back swing.

Most golf watchers, however, have become familiar with phrases patrons on the course will often yell that are caught by TV cameras: "get in the hole!" (from the movie "Happy Gilmore"); "Baba Booey!" (from the Howard Stern Show); and more recently, Bud Light's slogan "Dilly Dilly."

At Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, yelling out one of these will get you thrown out.

In response, Bud Light suggests don’t say it, wear it.

The brew co. will be blanketing Augusta with 1,000 “Dilly Dilly” T-shirts for this year’s tournament.

The king tweeted:

"Your king hath received word that the guards of the Green Jacket plan to escort any patron who dare utter Dilly Dilly off yon premises.

Except for myself, I am against tyranny in all forms. So, I have instructed my royal tailors to make 1,000 Dilly Dilly shirts that shall be delivered to Georgia in time for the festivities.

For if thou cannot say Dilly Dilly, thou can still wear Dilly Dilly."
