Ever been robbed?

[eclark53520]

On the golf course????

Apparently thugs and low-lifes are getting smarter...lets go to a country club...no cops and you know those country club golfers have money...plus were in wisconsin, so they wont have any weapons on them to defend themselves...like candy from a baby

Rediculous...will my glock count as my 14th club?

Wow... no that's never even occurred to me...

Played with a guy once that had just come back from Costa Rica (I believe), or somewhere similar. He said a guy with a rifle was following him around in a cart, and when he reached maybe the 7th tee the guy took off. Said he was kinda concerned for a while, and asked at the turn. The said that rebels would come out the woods and rob the golfers that played as singles when it was not so busy, and 7 was the end of the wood line, where he would go back to one and pick the next golfer at 1.

One of the first times I played here, I get a little concerned one of the first times when I pulled up to the 13th tee and there was a guy with a rifle facing the other way, till I realized he was hunting. Only happened that one time.

Good lord, I can't sneak out after hours for a quick free couple of holes without somebody yelling at me.

It's never been a problem for me. You see, I carry a 380 in my golf bag at all times, not that I'm worried about getting robbed, it's just that I hate golfing with people that roll the ball in the fairway!

I leave my cash in my car, and if they wanna try to take my bag and clubs, I'll glady have a footrace against these retards. Or just take out the driver and start swinging...

you know....that cooler pocket in my bag isn't insulated very well anyway.....I suppose it could be put to better use....

I'd be a bad rob. I never wear anything expensive, and don't normally have more than 10 dollars.

No personal knowledge; but I remember reading about similar incidents at a course in Stone Mountain, GA. There were a handful of robberies in areas where the cart path went through isolated areas of woods. A couple of scumbags would wait for a single cart and pull knives on the golfers and take their cash, jewelery, etc.

Some good ol' boys took offense to this and started carrying handguns to the course. A particular foursome sent one cart ahead, as if alone, and the second cart followed a minute or so behind them. Sure enough, one day two bad guys stopped the lead cart and were in the process of collecting valuables when the second cart arrived with the firepower.

This happened in the early nineties; and I really don't remember all the particulars. As I recall, one of the robbers was shot and subsequently arrested when he showed up for treatment at the emergency room.

Must have been an interesting conversation when the golfers got back to the club house.... "What did you shoot today?"...."Welp, you're probably not gonna believe this, but......"

And your clubs are worth about $3.75.
