Ball Thief_Cheeky Monkey

[Slab]

Not literally of course... well actually yes, literally!

2nd hole on Saturday 160 par three, all carry, play my shot through the green & I notice these lads hanging around the back tees behind me



I see them often enough but not too often that I wouldn't take a quick pic even if its a bit rubbish. (they normally content themselves by cackling at my tee shots etc)
Little did I know these lads where just the distraction for what was going on at the green. About 6-8 of their mates legged it from behind cover & one of the smaller ones goes behind the green and grabs my ball and starts tossing it in the air before picking it up again & scooting back to the trees with it!

I've had crows & gulls nick off with my ball in the past & I get how they might mistake it for an egg etc, but this just looked like mischief making

Cheeky monkeys! :smirk:

Brilliant! So they sent the little one in to actually do the dirty deed - funny

Different countries, different hazards.

I've had a fox steal mine off a green at my club and at the weekend a crow went into my bag and flew off with my mars bar!

I was a decent young nipper, I once gave someone a hole in one at a blind drivable par four.
