What's the worst thing you have ever done at a Club/ Course

[3offTheTee]

Be honest here guys;

Once about 20 years' ago I went back to the Course where I used to play and was no longer a member. We arrived at the first tee early, without going in the Pro Shop,

There was a 4 ball waiting to tee off and as we were a 2 ball they let us through before them. What gentlemen!

I hit my ball in the shaggy stuff and found a brand new Pro V1 so i picked it up. As i walked a bit down from it i found my ball, hit it and moved on. The group coming down the opposite hole started looking for a ball exactly where i found this Pro V1. I just thought it was a coincidence

I've probably wee'd on every tree

Playing at the Addington the year before last, a mate of mine who I had taken up there for the day as a "thank you" was playing in my group in the morning.
He hit his drive down the 2nd and it went in the trees, I was helping him look for it and about 50 yards short of where we thought his ball had landed I saw a scruffy (and I mean really tatty) Titleist ball. Thinking it had been lying there since just after the second world war I hit it into the trees on the opposite side of the fairway.
We carried on searching for his ball, I said "what were you playing Roy?"
"A really old Titleist" he replied...
I didn't say anything and felt guilty all day

I put a grip on out of line for a guy I really loathed. I thought he'd notice and would put another on but the silly old bugger took it away and as far as I'm aware just played with it. Not sure if that's 1-0 to me or him really

 

[bigslice]

cant say as its rude

 

[jeardley]

we come out out of the pub next to the hotel on 17 at st. andrews (cant remember the name of the pub at the mo)
Anyway, it was dark and we all took a piss off the swilken bridge

i'm not proud of myself.

Crashed a buggy into the front of a shed during one of our buggy derby's at dusk as a youngster....the impact didn't damage the buggy but left the front of the shed hanging off.

Came down next day to the story that the club thought that a greeny had done it while driving passed it with the greensmower but none of them were admitting responsibility.

The things you get up to as a laddie eh??!

Inviting Smiffy to play at your club ?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I crashed a buggy at the Old course at St Mellion going too fast and missing the gap in the stone wall and managed to lose a buggy downhill and into ditch at the Ashbury but I thought everyone did those sort of things!

I gave a couple of guys a lift home after a game and put all the clubs in my car boot. It was a bit of a squeeze so I pushed down on them to close the lid and felt the head snap off the shaft of one of the drivers. He never noticed when we took the clubs out so I guess he thought it snapped in transit!

Errr did a similar thing at Letham Grange.
Think it was on the fourth hole, went down the path from the 3rd green to the fourth tee and there was a wooden low fence down the left hand side of the path. Crashed the buggie into it (accidently of course!) and the whole fence caved in.

On a golf weekend with the boys, my playing partner Ally and I were sharing a buggy. Given that we both have a morbid fear of anorexia and the buggy was going downhill rather fast, it only took a gentle turn to the next tee to take the tyre clean off the rim !

Good job our friends went back to the clubhouse to get another buggy. The poor buggy was still stranded out there as we played our Monday morning round before heading home.

The name The Tyre Shredders has stuck ever since

whilst driving a buggy down the 18th (down a steep hill) i jumped out at full speed leaving my friend in the passenger seat. he couldn't scooch across because we had our putters inbetween us. he missed a tree by 2 inches.

2 months later he tried it on me. this time it was wet........his bail out didn't go to plan

 

[HughJars]

knocked one out

 

[goldenbare]

not telling the Captain I had just found his ball as he walked back to play 3 off the tee in the club matchplay knockout. Justice prevailed, he won anyway.

Don't know about anyone else but I think I'd have been taking my putter with me...

Worst thing I've done on a golf course? When I was 17 our school had a Golf trip to Austria (I'm guessing some of the teachers came up with that one, there did appear to be rather more of them volunteering for that school trip than usual...), course called Kaiserwinkl (no sniggering at the back), set up in the "hills" (we'd call them mountains) it's characterised by almost every fairway being tightly lined with trees (bloody irritating, I sprayed it around more then than I do now).

Anyway, you teed off on the first right outside the clubhouse and, rather stupidly I thought, right next to the car park (behind a right hander as you're teeing off), your drive has to go over the river that runs in front at about 50 yards and the trees start on the other side of the river and there's one tree that had a long, thick branch that sticks out halfway across the fairway (I'm not kidding, stupidest thing I've ever seen).
This is our first day there, first shot hit in anger and the bar patio area overlooking the carpark and first tee is already full, so nerves are running a little high.

Not wanting to make an idiot of myself, I play safe and take a 4-iron off the first. I'm convinced I'm going to duff but against all the odds I absolutely cream it, still the best 4-iron I've ever hit, straight out of the middle of the face, straight down the middle, straight into the branch of this tree (in the middle of the fairway remember, this is NOT my fault!), straight back into the carpark, straight into a bright yellow Porsche 911 Turbo, brand new. At which point an overdressed and overtanned Austrian leaps out of his chair on the patio screaming "NEIN!!!! IST MEIN AUTO!!!!" and runs into the clubhouse to get to the carpark.

I'm 17, I wasn't hanging around, my schoolchum cracks "Are you going to hit another one?" I just look at him before legging it up the first fairway! No idea what happened afterwards the car was gone by the time I got back to the clubhouse...

That's also the course I hit a fat german kid on the arse (in my mind he looked like Augustus Gloop from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory but I can't remember what he actually looked like!) with a drive from 250 yards away because they were taking so bloody long and didn't know what it meant to call someone through. In my defense it did bounce once and he had a very fat arse, so it couldn't have hurt that much... I know it was wrong but me and my partner were laughing so much it hurt (the bottle of JD I'd bought in secret on the ferry on the way over helped there I think...).

ive chased a grouse around the 7th green at one of my old course. The green keeper reported me and received a warning via letter. I joined somewhere else the year after

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I did roll my mates ball into some dog mess in the rough as a junior and told him you had to play it as it lies.

I was 18 and had been in the Army for about a year, serving in Germany. Whilst on exercise and slightly navigationally challenged in a forest somewhere, I drove a 15 ton FV 436 armoured personnel carrier straight across the green of a course I had come across. Took the flag out and everything. Those things leave a mark; well, 2 to be precise.
