You didn't film it? You should have offered to capture the moment like people getting their picture taken infront of the Lincoln Memorial or something.

Fred . . . you gotta stop thinking of yourself so much. You are NOT the center of the universe. Get out there and HELP some people man!

I hope you at least cheered?

Club throwing isn't funny
to me, but some of the things that people dream up to excuse it are.
One day at work I watched a guy lose it and pitch his brand new Scotty Cameron flat stick into the lake adjoining the 18th green. It was a classic case of TOSS. He then had the chutzpah to come in the shop and ask if the diver who retrieved balls from the lake would please return the putter that had "slipped out of his hand while he was tossing it to his bag". My arse... This guy would have won the hammer throw at most Olympics.

The other one I love was the guy who came into the shop almost crying he was laughing so hard. His buddy was still in the cart, smoke coming out of both ears. The guy who came in the shop finally gasped out between spasms of laughter that his buddy needed to get in touch with maintenance to borrow a ladder. Seems he had launched his driver into a tree and then had been so mad at that that he got his putter stuck in the same tree trying to get the driver down. We found him a ladder.

I just remembered the funniest thing I have ever seen or heard on a golf course, but how off color can we get before the moderator kicks us off? I don't want to offend anyone, but a friend of mine had the best/worst experience in our foursome one day.

Guidelines anyone????

Obi...

As you've no doubt seen, The Colonel's got a different set of guidelines than most. But, if you'll just PM Bagger, we'll 'think on it' and, you'll have...

At my old club, we had a guy that threw his whole set of clubs in the lake on 18. That was funny, but watching him go in the water to get his wallet and keys was the best part. After getting his items out of the bag, he got to throw it in again. It really happened, and he never played golf again. He had to keep his membership, because his kids love to play.
Somebody got a good set of clubs out of the water, after he burnt the tires off the car leaving the parking lot.

more club action
at the end of a sweltering july day when my 6-iron slipped out of my hands in the follow-thru on the tee of a par 3 and DISAPPEARED into thin air!...i finally spied it about 10-feet up in branches of a pine tree next to the tee box…I almost got another club stuck up there tossing it to knock the first one down…the ball actually landed on the green, but as it was actually the third extra hole i was playing in the evening I just picked it up and went home…

Besides "shenanigans" with golf carts?
I've seen some pretty interesting characters at some of the muni's out in the country around here. My brother and I played w/ a couple guys on a fluke, 60 degree day in February. They came drunk, then each of them drank enough by about the third hole that we had a contact-high just from lookin' at 'em, and after the turn they broke out the weed and hit that pretty hard the whole back nine. Normally, if it's really bad we'd ditch them at the turn, but these guys were hilarious. One of the guys carried around a really long driver that he usually missed the ball with, and he had a little piece of green indoor/outdoor carpet that he would put under his ball before every shot. There was too much to list here, and I don't remember a lot of the day because we were practically in tears from laughing so hard....thank you for starting this thread, because I'd almost forgotten about this.
