Any Golf Cart Stories?

I've played a few courses, but mostly a beginner. That being said I've had some crazy golf cart stories. The best of course when you have had a few beers. Share some golf cart stories.

It all started in 1993...

In high school, we played a very wet course. We spent most of the round unstrapping each other’s bag so it would fall when the cart took off. I was fixing my bag when the other cart tried to cut the wheel and spray me with mud. The cart just slid into my shins and I thought I broke both legs. Luckily, it was just a scare.
Another time I saw a young boy square up a tree texting on his cell phone while traveling to his ball that was well in the rough.

I had a buddy flip a cart one time into a hidden bunker. First time we had ever played the course, and he crested a hill and tried to turn left. Bunker was dead center of the fairway out of view. Best part was that it flipped, and he was standing straight up with the cart boxed around him. No clue how he didn't kill himself.

I've seen drunks put carts in the pond more than once.

Had a buddy that was a scratch golfer. Duffed one into the trees and got mad and tried to run over his ball. Right as he got up to his ball, there was a limb hanging down and it hooked the cart top and raised the front of the cart right over his ball to where he couldn’t run it over. Look on his face was hilarious. He was confused as to why he couldn’t run his golf ball over.
I worked for a country club. We had an illegal dude that didn’t know English that washed the carts. Cart barn was up on the top of a hill and the 18th green was below and it was an island green. Dude forgot to set the parking brake and the golf cart took off and jumped into the pond. Dude thought he was going to get deported for it. He jumped in with his clothes on and tried to get it out. All the while, golfers were trying to finish their round. It was a real distraction for them.
Another incident, I was setting up for a tournament and cruising around putting signs out. The 18th hole’s cart path was a bit curvy and there were a bunch of hills between the curves. So I decided to take the “short” path up and down the hills rather than take the cart path. Topped one of the hills and saw a little rain wash at the bottom of the next hill. Jammed the brakes, cart turned sideways and wheels hit the rain washout and I went flying out of the cart and landed arse first. Thought I had broken my back. Pretty sure I still have some back issues from that one.

When I was in high school, I had some friends who worked at Santa Maria. We were able to play pretty much anytime we wanted when they were off shift so on a late Sunday afternoon my younger brother(10yo) was with us and I hook a turn at full speed and he almost flew totally off the cart but managed to hold on by one hand. I thought he was dragging the grass but in actually he was being dragged on the cart path. Needless to say he had some really horrible brush burns, I was punished for quite a while, and he didnt talk to me for probably a month. We laugh about it now but I still feel bad that that happened to him.

Our club was having its big Labor Day weekend tournament. The range was packed and then a downpour popped up out of no where. Guys we’re running to their carts and one older guy, not much taller than his bag, jumps in the passenger side with his bag and the bag lands on the accelerator. The cart runs into the guy in front of the cart and knocks him down ... and the old guy can’t figure out that the bag is the cause of the accelerator moving the cart ... it actually runs over the guys leg and then the old guy switches it to reverse and backs over his leg again.
To his credit, the guy that got run over played his round with a bloody knee and he hobbled around all day (a lot of alcohol helped with his pain). His new nickname became “speedbump”.??

Was playing at Wolfdancer near Austin. On one of the hillier holes, I was driving full speed going back to the cart path, when a wasp landed square between eyes. I was swatting at it wildly trying to stop from getting stung, but I had never let off the accelerator. When I finally got it off, I quickly realized I was about to drive down into a very deep ravine. Slammed on the breaks just in time. Legit would have probably died.

I have 2 meh stories...
When I was very young (maybe 6 or 7) my whole family was on the course. Me, Dad, and my older brother playing... Mom was riding. I was riding on the back of the cart between shots. I hopped on the back of the cart and hopped off to get something out of my bag. My dad looks back and did not see me and proceeded to back up. My legs were locked up and I fell over and my dad ran over my arm. Luckily it was just scary and nothing was broken.
Another time when I was in college and playing with some friends we all hit our tee shots over water to the green and I had come up a little short but we did not see it splash. We drove around the bridge to the green and looked for my ball but did not find it. Must have plugged right on the edge of the water. I walked back across the bridge to take my drop on the correct side of the hazard. I then sculled my next shot and hit the GPS screen in the cart. The pro shop guy was pretty pissed that I treated it as a rental and did not offer to pay for it.

I don't act crazy on golf carts on the course. The golf carts we drive in the plant though are a whole other story. Especially after a good rain storm

In knoxville for the LSU game last fall. At a nice course and about halfway through the round and we are coming off the top of a hill, steep, but nothing crazy. Pointed straight down but front wheel catches a hole covered by grass and turns us sideways and flings me (passenger) out the cart. I turn around and the roof is staring me straight in the face, so i book it because i think this thing is about to come down sideways right on me. I make it out, but my buddy slides down the seat and breaks the plastic rail that holds you in and it rips his pants right on the arse on his way out. 
Fast forward, we drop the cart off and luckily no one is there. I'm in the pro shop looking at shite waiting on the uber and a guy comes in and says they have a broken cart and gives the cart number and the guys is like frick, that was the out of towners. I casually start browsing my way towards the exit and was like guys, we got to go.

While in the Navy, My sub put me and 10 others ashore on Andros Island (Bahamas) to make room for some sound engineers.
We've been out to sea for a month, placed on a beach in the Bahamas AND the Enlisted bar was selling beer for $.25... Shite's about to get REAL
No cars on the island just golf carts all with the keys still in them. We grabbed about 4 and started wrecking shite on the base. Bumper Carts, Cart polo, running over every damn thing we could, all sorts of stupid stuff.
At one point I was riding a bicycle racing a cart when my buddies say, "Shore patrol! Shite Hop in!" I jump off the bicycle trying to land on the moving cart...Did not end well...lots of rolls and scuffed up legs from that little stunt
Next morning, Shore Patrol is in the barracks looking for us. They identify us and call our ship. We return to the boat 5 days later to find the Chief of the Boat wants to have a chat.
We explain "We didn't know we couldn't use the cats, we promise we were not the ones who wrecked shite"
Chief says, "you're lucky this is my first trip with this command...This is your get out of jail free card"
Those 5 days proved that no one parties like a United States Sailor
USS Pittsburgh - 1999

I have similar stories from the Navy, but none involve a golf cart.

Actually recovering from a golf cart accident from a month ago still. Was playing a hilly course in town and was driving the cart down a steep hill to the green. At the bottom of the hill is a left turn, so I started to make the turn and made the turn too early. The cart came off the path so I tried to over correct to get the cart back on the path. When we came back on the path I lost control of the cart as it started to head for the trees. Decided to bail right as the cart started to flip.
Cart landed on my leg snapping it in half, compound fracture of the tibia and fibula. Looked like the kid from Louisville from March Madness a few years back.
