Man with machete on golf course

Couple of things, firstly I hope the guys injuries heal soon and he gets all the help he needs

Second, what must the golfer have thought when he happened on this while looking for his ball & luckily he knew first aid and was able to help, not sure what kind of mess I'd have been in in that situation





And anecdotally how benign is the hole/green shown in the picture! Even if you tried to mess it up you'd have a tough time not scoring, I hope the picture does it an injustice or its the SI18, anyone played there?

Typical golfer, a bloke gets carved up on the course and all you worry about is how crap the hole looks!:rofl:

Did he find his ball :mmm:

 

[Foxholer]

Carrick Knowe isn't the toughest of courses!

Certainly nothing to drive anyone to commit harikiri!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Maybe he read my blog! Hope he gets help as he clearly has issues and hope the bloke who found him isn't too shook up by the whole thing

 

[Baldy Bouncer]

Maybe he was trying to find a cure for the severe slices he`d developed earlier !!!!:thup:

 

[Slab]

Personally I think he was just trying to get cut


HJS, what is the recommended 'help' for someone who's read your blog I read it once but I think I got away with it!

 

[Smiffy]

I must admit. A four jerk sometimes makes me feel suicidal

 

[Beezerk]

Ridiculous headline, makes it sound like a terror attack rather than a suicide attempt. Hope he gets the help he needs mind.

Hope he gets better.

Your second point; Carrick Knowe is the worst course in Edinburgh. Stupidly easy with no character or challenge.
