It was brutal. Was working at another course and a thunderstorm came through. We closed the course and this guy drove his own golf cart back to his house. Tree fell right thru the middle of his cart, pretty much cutting it in half. The guy lived, but lost his leg. To his credit, he still continued to play golf after the accident. It was a big tree.

Was playing at some course in Marietta, GA years ago and went into the woods on a hole to take a piss. Rounded a tree and there was a lady giving a guy a blow job in the woods. They took off running. The course was adjacent to a subdivision so I guess they came from there. They were well dressed so they weren't homeless or anything. I'd guess in their mid 30's. My best guess was it was 2 married people that lived in that neighborhood having an affair. It was a Sunday morning around 9 or 10.

A fight between two guys (one from our group - I didn't know him, he was a guest of another guy then proceeded to get trashed and not play after a few holes) at City Park in NOLA years ago.

Just off the course...there was a HUGE argument between, what I assume, was a husband and wife a few weeks ago at my club on their back patio. There were three of us on the tee box waiting for the green to clear and we just had to stand there uncomfortably and take it for a few minutes. I mean, they were going at it. We looked over a couple of times to make sure nothing physical was happening, but they were just cursing and degrading each other for the rest of the neighborhood to hear.

Years ago, I had just teed off on the first hole at Briarwood (RIP), when I heard this awful screeching sound. I looked back toward Airline Highway, and this old pickup truck full of watermelons in the bed had lost its right rear wheel. Sparks were flying as the truck slowed to a stop on the shoulder, and the wheel was humming along through the middle of the driving range. It finally came to rest in the driving range, the truck was able to stop and not a single watermelon fell out of the truck bed.

There was a brawl at Cedar Crest on the 18th over critical race theory and the 1619 project allegedly a few weeks back. Some old guy in Dallas Golf was telling me and my fitter about it during my session

Did it happen in a parking lot at a golf course? I'm confused how this story fits the thread.



Playing golf at Webb Park. One of the holes where you drive across the street, we are waiting to go across the street to the next hole and we saw it happen right in front of us

My buddy killed a Canadian Goose at Santa Maria about 2 months ago. Was trying to punch out from under the oaks on the left side of #10. The geese were 50-60 feet in front of him. He tried to draw it around...he didn’t and he didn’t get it up.
Hit the goose dead in the neck as it slept. It started flailing around and at first, we started laughing at him from the other side of the fairway. Then we realized he really fricked this thing up and there was nothing we could do but watch. Felt absolutely terrible and I hate those dam things. It was just starting to stop hopping around the fairway as we were heading to 11

Friendly advice: if you ever wound an animal to the point where it’s suffering and you wanna do the noble thing and put it out of its misery, don’t. I’ve seen stories of people getting fines for killing them. Kinda messed up

Also, the goose memes we sent him and the goosehonk.mp3 I played in his backswing to start the next round we played together were great

Playing at Howell park(rip), a friend and I get to #15 par 3 and there is a guy laying down on the tee box pale white. We were told he was having chest pains but would be ok in a minute. After telling my friend that he had a heart attack before, he convince them to call 911. The two guys behind us walked up and asked how the guy was doing. We told them the story and then they proceeded to tee their shot off 6' from where the guy was lying down. After teeing off, they said hope he will be ok and went play their shots. The next day the guy was playing golf and told me it was only a little heart attack.
One time playing a Dumas, I hooked a tee shot thru the trees on #2 and hit a cop car dead on the star on the door. Same friend in above story said f him, we pay for it anyway. The cop gets out pissed off like I had shot a gun at him and he was going to shoot back. After seeing I only had a golf club, he looked at the car and left.

This reminds me of a story years ago at the old LSU front 9 (also RIP). A buddy hits his drive on #3 (I think that was it, the first hole coming back down Nicholson extension across from CEBA) and it's right down the middle of the fairway. We see it hit and not roll at all, which was odd, but assumed it plugged in some mud. Get up to it, and he hit a squirrel on the fly. Killed it instantly.

A few years back at LSU. There’s this business professor that has developed a reputation for being a complete a-hole out there. Found this out from the people there after this incident.

Was on #3, par 5. 330ish to reach the ditch. Guy is on the right side in front of it. So I tee off, push it right a good 60 yards short of him, just off the fairway. As I’m coming up, I see him getting ready to hit so I stop and wait. He shanks it and starts cussing and pointing to his buddy that’s in the cart. It looked like it was directed at me, but I thought “nah, couldn’t be”.
So they go on.
Get to the tee box on #4, short par 4 but still 325 or so. They’re on the green. I tee off. Slice it, but couldn’t tell if it went in the pond on the right or not. So I drive along the bank, looking, al the way til I get to about 10-15 yards short of the green and I see a ball in the grass between the green and the 5 tee box. I know I didn’t just hit a ball that bad and it went 300+. So as I’m picking it up, this a-hole yells out from the green “If you hit into me again, I’m calling the cops” LOL. Idk if I was thrown off by the threat of authorities being brought in or if I was just surprised by the whole situation, but it took me a few seconds to respond with “excuse me?”. He immediately starts telling me about the previous hole and then starts pointing at where he thought I had hit. He gets all animated, hollering and pointing for a good 30 seconds while I’m just staring at him. When he finishes, I stay looking at him, don’t say a word and slowly flip him off. He frickin loses it, drops his putter and quickly starts walking to me. I get out, grab an iron and tell him I’m gonna wrap it around his head if he gets to me. He stops, starts ranting again. “I’d like to see you try. I’m Italian, I’d have you taken care of by tomorrow”. I immediately start busting out laughing & ask him “so are you a real gangster or a pussy that calls cops to a golf course? Cause it can’t be both.” That really pissed him off and made his buddy get in it to talk some sense into him. He ran his yap another couple minutes while slowly getting closer. He was a blowhard that had no clue that he had about 2 more feet to go to reach the imaginary line that I told myself was as close as I was letting this crazy frick get to me.
Anyway, CSB, but it’s the only argument I can ever remember having on a golf course. When I made the turn, I told the manager what had happened, just in case he had gone complain. His first words were “I know who you’re talking about. He’s a real a-hole”. Told me his name and that he was a professor. Made total sense then

How long ago was this? I remember a guy similar to your description about 7-8 years ago. We would legit try to avoid him at all costs if we saw him out there.

He was my professor, maybe financial accounting 2, 06 or 07. Definitely a loudmouth douchebag from what I recall.

Friendly game of company golf on a Saturday. Two foursomes of us on the first tee. One guy that was a notoriously bad golfer with bad eyesight swung mightily at his golf ball. It hit off the heal of the driver, back between his legs, ricochets off the front of one of the golf carts and ends up in the parking lot. I’ve never seen anything like it. The rest of us are in shock at what we’ve just seen. The guy that hit the shot after staring down the fairway for a couple of seconds turns to us and asks if anyone saw where his drive ended up. As we burst out laughing one of the guys tossed him a ball and said, “hit a mulligan.”
