First class muppet !

Yes that was me yesterday - Pressed forward twice on my powakaddy sport - went to take my putt for birdie and then heard a rather large crash as my trolley had somehow veered off the path between the tee and the green and dropped 8 foot down into a concrete drainage channel snapping the axle clean in half. This left me with a back braking 500 yard plus walk back to the car park with a TM tour bag full of dirty smelly water a powakaddy battery and a stricken trolley. Still you have to laugh ! Anyone else seen any stupid trolley incidents they would like to share to cheer me up just to prove I am not the only numpty on the block

I saw two old biddies playing at Royal Eastbourne one day. One had parked her powakaddy up at the side of the green but had forgotten to turn it off.
As she walked onto the green it went flying off and up and over the lip of a massive great greenside bunker and up-ended all her gear in the sand..... hehehe!!
My how we chuckled.

I have to say nothing beats the sight of a golf bag filled with muddy water being pushed, carried or towed back to the car park leaving a trail of water. Even funnier if the owner has had to go in to fetch it out. I don't mean to mock but I bet it was hilarious to see

On my maiden trip with the FWII I was playing with my cousin and pre set it for 30 yards .... nah, I just let it go at speed 6 and had to run like a bloody fool to catch it. I got to it just as it crashed over the second tee.


It took me half an hour to get my breath back and an hour for David to stop laughing.

just over a year ago my old electric trolley decided to only work at full speed, all of the time. Worst part was it decided to do this on the 6th hole, in a match, just as i was about to take my 2nd shot. It sped off at full pelt, followed the fairway contours and jumped straight into a pot bunker. The wheels were still spinning - chucking out a load of sand at the same time.

The worst part was that as the trolley had flipped in and fallen backwards it managed to snap the shaft of my driver in the process.

So 6 holes into a knock out match i have a knackered trolley - the motor burnt out and literally went pop, - a bust driver and a long push through the rest of the match. Needless to add I lost convincingly

As Forest Gump said "sh1t happens" - at least I think it was him??

I have seen a cheap leccy trolley doing a wheelie with clubs flying out everywhere whilst some poor old boy was chasing it down the 1st at Gillingham.

The trench-like bunker halted its progress.

Playing the first at ramside, my playing partner left his pk on a slope, switched off, but it must have been too steep and as we all finished putting he looked to get the pk, but it was not there, was lyingon it side in the pond this next too the second tee......

Cheers guys - I still don't feel that great but at least I have now had a laugh along the way

An older past Captain on our Captain's trip last year. Brand new Cart with the distance buttons etc. Was basically showing off by the first tee and pressed 30 yards. It proceeded to topple into a pond 27 yards away. You can imagine the sympathy he got from the other 40 or so waiting to go out.

Should have carried

Was playing golf in Tenerife as a company holiday and about 40 of us was playing.We all had buggys,as we were just about to tee off the buggy in front of us just disapeared,it had gone over a drop of about 8ft as the fairway was tiered but you could not see it from ground level,luckily all were ok but the front of the buggy was mashed.
