Friggin Urban Golf In Australia

Well just when you thought you had seen everything, along comes Urban Golf. Yep, I kid you not, take out the rules,the etiquette, the course and the friggin hole and you have Urban Golf. OK, I know what you are thinking, WTF, people whacking a ball around the neighborhood with a friggin golf stick (alarm bells). But I have it from good authorities (TwitrGolfers) that it isn’t as dangerous as it looks and it uses a special ball (suppose we should be grateful!). Come on, show a bit of enthusiasm, it’s taking the world by storm.. OK, well just Newcastle! I am sensing some skepticism here people, you aren’t buying it are you? Well the dude that is running the whole thing down under has got himself some council approval and has already had a successful Urban Golf Day. Who knows it could end up becoming an Olympic event!!! Check it out Australian Urban Golf.

What Handicap?

OK, here’s the thing, when planning to smuggle £83,000 worth of cocaine in your golf clubs it would probably help if you knew a little thing or two about the game. Hmm, especially when the custom officer asks you what is your handicap and you stare back blankly with a look of complete and utter confusion. Katyti Dryer in her infinite wisdom thought he was talking about a disability. Hmm, that answer will win you a search. Custom officers found 1kg of cocaine in the shafts of her clubs. Katyi now has all the time in the world to practice her swing.

OK Smarty Pants, Do it Again!

OK for starters there should be a rule against anyone playing golf with a SpongeBob SquarePants ball, I’m sorry, it just isn’t in the spirit of the game. Secondly, 6 years olds should never be allowed to play and last but not least , if the 6 year old, with the SpongeBob SquarePants ball gets a hole in one from 85 yards it shouldn’t be allowed,full stop, end of story, no way. In fact the little blighter should be disqualified from playing golf forever. Move on kid the game don’t need ya! Braeden Furlow from Onekama, Michigan, got his first hole in one using a 3 wood. It was his 4th time on the links course. Oh we are so happy for him…yay!

What Did You Do That Fore?

Golf etiquette went out the door at Stockwood Park Golf Course when a player was attacked with a golf club.Harold Stafford was at the 3rd hole when he must have hit a shocker because he came racing over to the 13th hole where Barry Barnes and his friends were playing and accused them of playing his ball.Despite denials from the group Mr Staford continued to scream at them, making Mr Barnes miss his putt. One thing lead to another and it was then alleged Mr Stafford began hitting Mr Barnes with his club. Not happy with with his effort he began kicking Barnes while he was lying on the ground. Prosecutor Natalie Carter said during the trial “Although golf is usually thought to be a relaxing pastime, on this day in September it was not.” Ya think? So how much does a golf ball cost these days?

Port of Everett Is Not a Driving Range People!

Geez friggin golfer, way to go. Finally the Port of Everett can justify their $2.3 million Department of Home Land Security grants.The video surveillance cameras originally installed to stop potential terrorist attacks following 9-11, have now been swung around to point directly at the residential neighborhood of Everett. Reason? Someone has been using the port’s Pacific Terminal as a driving range and they aren’t happy about it. Yes, golf balls have been raining down on the terminal over the past couple of months, endangering workers and damaging equipment and cargo. The authorities suspect the avid and possibly lazy golfer is teeing off from Rucker Hill and whacking balls onto the port property for some practice.They are hoping the cameras will hunt the  friggin golfer down before he gets more accurate. No point asking the locals, they hate the port too.Fore!

Psst Hmm, could it be an Al Qaeda cell messing with ya?

Good Reason to Give Up Golf

You are 62 years of age, never played golf before, take eight half lessons, tee up for very first shot on a course, no practice swing, hit the ball and watch it roll into the friggin hole. After achieving what golfers only dream of, a hole in one, Unni Haskell told the St Petersburg Times “I didn’t know it was that big of a deal I thought all golfers do this.” Hmm, well at least her teaching pro had the last laugh “Unni, here’s the problem: There’s nowhere to go from here but down.”

GUR

Canyon West Golf Club could be in deep trouble and I don’t mean a sand trap. Hmm, investigators have inspected the 13th hole of Weatherford Golf Course trying to find answers to the mysterious bulldozer buried there. It seems someone might have buried the earth moving machine underneath the fairway some 14 odd years ago. Accident? I don’t think so! After a tip off, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force and the National Insurance Crime Bureau invaded the course and took shovels to the 13th . There they found themselves a 9,000 pound Ford rubber tire loader buried 10 feet under. Ewh dear, golf club owners, Stan Mickle and his father, Wes Mickle, are the likely suspects. It is thought the equipment was originally stolen to help with the construction of the course and then disposed of quite cleverly after the job was completed! Oh no, even worse, investigators are now checking to see if the Mickles reported the bulldozer stolen to claim insurance. It is estimated that the dozer would have cost between $40,000 to $50,000 at the time.Fore!!!!
