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 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!
I am aiming for the water not the port, fools!
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?
Careful What You Wish FORE!
Bill Murray caddyshacked his tee shot during a Pro-Am event in Tampa and the ball flew across the street and knocked over a woman in her front garden. Fore..goodness sakes Bill! Gail DiMaggio and her husband had just stepped out of their house to watch Bill tee off when her husband said ‘I hope he hits it over here,’. Well he got his wish! Despite being flat out on her back and being attended to by paramedics she was over joyed when Bill Murray rocked up in his golf cart. Hmm, Bill later joked with reporters it wasn’t the first time he had hit a spectator.
