I tried not to laugh

[full_throttle]

So playing a fourball this morning, one of the group is using a motocaddy electric trolley with a dodgy on/off switch. On the 6th green, he turns the trolley off and sends it towards the seventh tee. Just about to put out when one of the group notice the trolley is still moving. Unfortunately it was too late and the trolley went for a swim in the river. Off come the shoes and socks so the gear can be retrieved, 15 minutes later and we're playing the seventh. Everybody had a laugh about his misfortne back in the bar.

And no it wasn't me.

15 minutes?
Wow you've got good self control, I would have been laughing for at least half an hour at that one.

At least you were laughing with him, not at him...:clap:

the four of us spend the 15 minutes trying to dry his clubs as best we could, he just dried his feet put his socks on and continued, then took £5 of each of us for winning the fourball.

I don't think I'd have been able to carry on. Would have given myself a serious injury laughing so hard. Least he won some money to make up for it.

Had a similar thing happen in an Open at my old club.

2 of us were sorting out whether relief was available in 1 area while the other in the 3 ball was some way away in the trees. When he emerged, he couldn't find his leccy. We found it in the quite deep pond by the green! As it not only had his clubs, but also keys, wallet, Iphone etc, he was rather keen to get it. Off with shoes and socks and, with the help of my Driver a a brace, he gradually extracted the tour bag, then trolley. Amazing how heavy a bag full of water and clubs can be!

Heard about -and saw the soggy results - a Clic trolley rolling into another lake on that course while its owner (a well known 24 stone Nigerian skin-heded, tattoo-ed club-fitter) was putting! Only the woods were recovered immediately, but a diver got the irons a day or so later. He looked rather soggy when I say him after my round and blamed that expedition for some later skin complaints!

I always find this sort of thing amusing. Boot has ben on the other foot though. Hit a ball well wide at Silvermere few years ago. Saw it on what I thought was dried mud. Got two steps out and sunk into real quick sand type mud and got stuck fast. Mate had to yank me out and I stunk to high heaven for rest of the round.
