Great Golf Nut Moments

Steve Post (#0623) – Played golf during his wedding rehearsal.  300 Points.

Jeff Larsen (#0467) – Took a carpet divot that tore through carpet, padding and flooring, and snapped the shaft of his favorite sand wedge while practicing in his living room.  400 Points.

Joe Malay (#0020) – Was driving the 85 miles from Weiser to Caldwell, Idaho to participate in a golf tournament when he had a flat tire.  His spare was flat, too, so he put on his spikes, threw his clubs over his shoulder, hitchiked to the nearest town and hired the local cropduster to fly him to the tournament.  1,000 Points.

Pete Schenk (#0007) – Went camping to get away from the game for a few days, and ended up building a makeshift nine-hole course in the woods.  500 Points.

Ken Hoel (#1231) – Writes swing keys on the thumb of his golf glove, the head of his driver, and the toes of his golf shoes.  300 Points.

E.M. Vandeweghe (#1191) – Was practicing in his backyard early one Saturday morning when he “got it”.  His eldest son, Ernie, convinced him not to change his grip.  Ernie then put the top down on the family convertible and drove him the two miles to the course with E.M. holding the club in the air.  Upon arriving at the course, Ernie teed up a ball on the first tee for his father, who promptly shanked the shot into the pro shop.  307 Points.

Jim Nielsen (#0859) – His three-iron broke and impaled his left bicep.  He removed his t-shirt, tied it around his arm to stop the bleeding, and finished the round.  240 Points.
