ATM Thieves Escape In Golf Cart

A pair of Fresno, California ATM thieves have been making their getaways in a golf cart.

A sign of the times, I suppose. Or perhaps a sign of the end-times.

Signs of the Apocalypse: Madman Tries To Blow Up Pebble Beach’s Ninth Hole

Another sign of the apocalypse: police in Monterey County said they found an explosive device at the foot of the forty foot cliff on Pebble Beach’s ninth.

I can only speculate that the madman intended to bring down the cliff, and with it, the hole.

Thieves Decapitating Golf Clubs

A pair of thieves apparently are decapitating expensive drivers and stealing the heads in Pittsburgh area Dick’s Sporting Goods stores. The assumption has to be that they’ll reshaft the clubs—a relatively easy and inexpensive proposition—for later sale. Still, it’s strange.

Nude Golf International Tournament

Golfing naked. There are just so many jokes I could make about this ...

At any rate, there’s an outfit in New Zealand that’s sponsoring an all-nude golf tournament this February. The link here is definitely NOT suited for work.

Raven Steals Golf Balls From Course

From CNN:

For the last few months, a large raven has been stalking Greencastle Golf Club in Donegal before swooping and flying off with people’s balls.
Several players have witnessed the burglar at work while others have struck what they thought was an accurate shot only to arrive on the green to find no sign of their ball.

Billy McCaul, the golf club’s office manager, says players are reporting stolen balls on a weekly basis.

“It started to happen about four months ago, when you had the odd comment about a ball being taken by a bird,” McCaul told CNN.

“Because we are a seaside course, birds have picked balls up in the air so we took it to be something like that, but then it became consistent and persistent.
“At first I took it as a bit of fun, as did most members, but it has got to the extent where it is having an effect on prizes and competitions and various other things.”

I’m going to start using Ravens as an excuse for any lost balls.

Dumb. People will get killed unnecessarily.

Basic Golf Shirt Review

Basic Golf Shirt Grade: A Teacher’s Comments: It would get an A plus, but it’s too “hip” for this 40-something guy. (Is “hip” even a term anymore?) The Basic Golf Shirt isn’t. Basic, that is. Rather, it’s a high quality, reasonably priced—and dare I say…
