Trolley disaster

[louise_a]

I took Akie round our course today, it was very wet but open, anyway on the first hole I didnt hit a great teeshot and set off towards my ball. I left my trolley by a ditch and went toplay my shot, then I caught a glimpse of the trolley rolling towards the ditch and toppling into the stream. Not the best start to a round!

I immediately returned it to the locker room to dry out and took out my old pull trolley, after the round I tried it and happily it seems to be ok. Unfortunately my Samsung Galaxy phone that was in the bag appears to be broken

Just checked my phone which was in the bag, it won't work

Somebody drove their electric trolley into our pond on the 3rd last week He was walking along with his mate and started laughing and said to his playing partner

"is that your trolley rolling off over there?"

His mate replied with "No mate mine is there on the right"

"Oh **** its mine!" just as it was too late to save it and it glugged into the lake :rofl:

He got some right stick when he got into clubhouse after

Louise if its water damage take the battery out and leave the back off and put it in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard

Leave it to dry out properly before trying it again and it might work. I remember somebody telling me this about a water damaged phone a while back.

Cheers Scouser, my mate told me to do that but I thought she was joking.

I witnessed the same into the burn on 18 at Pitlochry last year - funny......

.....when it happens to someone else!

Hope the phone dries out ok.

Louise if its water damage take the battery out and leave the back off and put it in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard

Set on regulo 5, leave it for 20 minutes, stir once, and serve.

+1 on the huge bowl of rice idea.

 

[Scouser]

U can get special bags from car phone warehouse and ebay... Just use rice... But leave it about 3 days with the bat out and back off

Another great reason to carry a pencil bag during the winter. Unlucky though.

 

[G1BB0]

its only a phone

take battery out & wrap in paper and put in the airing cupboard... oh wait, we dont have them anymore, put on a radiator wrapped in a normal towel with the battery out

Heard about a guy at a local club and his trolley went in the river along with his phone and car keys which were in his bag. He had to get the AA out to get back into the car. Nightmare !!!!

We were playing a hilly course near Hereford a few years back and stood in the valley bottom about to play when we saw an unmanned trolley and bag start trundling down the hill. We could just make out some players and tried to shout and alert them as it turned right and headed into the woods! They were oblivious for a while and then one of them ran around like a headless chicken wondering where the heck his gear was. We managed to find it and reunite it with its owner but it was quite beaten up.

BTW Louise - did your bag and clubs get a soaking too?

 

[FairwayDodger]

Get him? You get back in the kitchen love and send your little rent boy to his room until he learns to grow a set.

Just need to say that this is hugely unnecessary and inappropriate.

 

[louise_a]

yes I have them drying out at the moment Amanda.

I decided to ignore the totally inane comment but agree 100%.

Dry it out thoroughly Louise. Seriously, do not get impatient waiting for it, if you stick in the charging lead and try turning it on you run the risk of frying it. It is a very sensitive electronic device and you really do not want to break it. Do not be like me and break the screen on your Galaxy S3, I popped into a shop today to ask how much for them to order me the new screen for so I could change them over, I nearly had heart failure when the bloke said £180.
