Take the penalty (Hole 16 Oak Crest Golf Club, Florida) Get your Tums ready ... Not for the weak stomach.
Except for a misinterpretation of the rules (lateral hazard: one stroke) the lesson seems accurate. ...... the ball was in the pond on Hole 16 at Oak Crest Golf Club/Florida.
......it was a brand new Titlelist with the Verso logo on it and he didn't want to lose it OR take the two stroke penalty as he was already behind in points!
He reached in to retrieve the golf ball . . .
| NEXT THING HE KNEW HE WAS COVERED IN BLOOD. |
| HIS FELLOW GOLFERS WATCHED HIS ARM LEAVING WITHOUT HIM. |
MERCY FLIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL. HUNTED FOR THE ALLIGATOR |
SAVED HIS ARM, BUT STILL COST HIM TWO STROKES, LOST THE BALL AND RUINED THE REST OF THE DAY FOR HIS FRIENDS! |
Thanks Hal
Does his handicap cover the 2 strokes?
ReplyDeleteUnknown, I haven't a clue.
DeleteYou can bet he'll carry a .45 iron in his golf bag from now on.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, they hide under the water until some unsuspecting golfer reaches for his balls.
DeleteSounds like my wife.
DeleteYikes. What a horrific tale.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Odie. ♥
Sandee, oh OK, so I'm funny only 99% of the time.
DeleteDon't blame the hungry Gator. They were there way before the golf coarse.
ReplyDeleteDenny Johnston, are you sure?
DeleteHelluva penalty for taking free food when it's offered like that.
ReplyDeleteboron, not free. Now you know the price.
DeleteThe number one reason I don't golf, beside it seems silly to hit a ball and then have to go and chase it down...
ReplyDeleteSays the 300 lb. Dude
DeleteCederq, I never took it up either, but I sure enjoy it on TV.
DeleteUnknown, now be nice.
DeleteUnknown, I am sure you are mirroring...
DeleteGolfers are borderline insane....
ReplyDeletedanielbarger, I've known both kinds, insane and armless.
DeleteNaw, not for cheapskate like me when it literally costs you a arm for sure and maybe leg.
ReplyDeletegreg, not a good trade, huh.
DeleteHeck, I've lost many arms. Not a biggie.
ReplyDeleteKid, So you're typing this with your uh uh uh .....
DeleteMama mia- did his arm get sewn back on and it worked? wowee- that is quite the tail!
ReplyDeleteKathe W, they never said, huh.
DeleteThey are called water hazards for a reason.
ReplyDeleteJeff, yep that's for sure.
DeleteYaknow? I saw this in an Adam Sandler movie.
ReplyDeleteWonder if his new nickname is going to be 'Chomps?'
Beans, the golfer goes by "Stumpy".
DeleteDagnabit, getting old.
Delete(: Beans
DeleteI have never thought of taking up golf. and this made me never think about it more.
ReplyDeleteup here we only would have to deal with the Canadian CobraChickens, but they're mean enough.
Allen, Cobra Chickens?
DeleteI've heard of tough golf courses but this one takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteFreedom Fighter, it takes the arm.
