Played golf with a "nut"case on sunday
Played manderly on Sunday... very wet but still looks like a great course. I went with my friend and his friend Steve.
We get tot he first dogleg and the guys behind us thought we had cleared and they could go ahead. They almost hit Steve in the leg with their shot. What does he do? I’m not even kidding, He rubbed penut butter and jam all over the guys golf ball. I was shocked/confused and asked him WTF he was doing. He said, "He hit into me and now when he picks up his ball to clean up the mud his hands will get all dirty." For the next 3 holes he put penut butter in all the holes so when the guys behind us sunk their putts their balls would get penut putter and jam all over them. I’ve heard of hitting the ball back at the person, picking up the ball and putting it in your pocket and even stepping on it to give them a bad lie but never rubbing penut butter on someone’s ball!! It didn't occur to me until I got him... why the heck does this guy have packets and packets of penut butter in his golf bag?? I would still actually like to know. Anyway, last time I play with this nut case!

Hahah, that's hilarious. Actually not a bad idea, takes some creativity. Personally, I would wake for the guy to be a repeat defender (i.e. hit into us more than once) before I'd do anything. But even then, I would probably limit it to talking to the guy after the round. Never in my wildest imagination would I consider using sandwich spread.

You guys are lucky you didn't get your heads pounded! If I was behind you, I would have been livid.

You have to play it smooth Donny (I love these puns, smooth, nut case ). He shouldn't have put the PB on the ball. Just keep putting it in the holes. And if the play slowed and you met up on a tee with them just mention you can't believe someone is putting PB in the holes. Just to see their reaction. That would be priceless.

Really stupid . There are a lot of others behind them that would have a messed up hole.
Funny I did not see any sign of this when I was there yesterday ( one day after Thotho) I guess they cleaned up after your moron friend.Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

Putting peanut butter and jam in a the cup is not cool. It not only screws with the group behind you, but likely the ones after that....

Dan I doubt you would notice it since it was one small pack in each of the 3 holes. The kind they give out at tim hortons. Anyway, I'm laughing about it now but at the time I was so pissed off. I even told the dude to smarten up or I was done for the day. Problem was these two were my ride back. I made it clear to both that I don't want to play with this ass clown again. The group behind us never caught us. Wide open infront of us, only 3 of us and they were 4

See, I end up golfing with nice people. One guy I golfed with in Myrtle was heading to Pinehurst, so he sent me some pictures of the Payne Stewart statue. I end with people who offer to buy a beer, have some good laughs, talk about the 'talent' of the staff... Never golfed with anybody like thotho describes!!!

If this is what golf is coming to then it might be time to take fishing back up. I know one thing, if I was behind you and that happened to me, I would skip one hole and be waiting on the next tee block. It wouldn't be pretty on your groups behalf either.
I can live with someone not having good taste. I can not live with someone who is just plain STUPID AND IGNORANT.
People like that should not be allowed to be on a golf course. So what, they hit one ball into your group by mistake? You as a so called golfer, playing with them should not have tolerated the stupid antics of putting peanut butter in the cups. By doing so you encourage them to continue their actions.
I am glad I play with gentlemen at my course.My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

A. If it only happened that 1 time and you were out of sight, could be honest mistake.
B. Messing up the hole doesn't penalize the group behind, it penalizes 'every' group behind (boneheaded).
C. I personally suffer from:
Anaphylaxis -
Life-threatening allergy- to nuts of any kind.
I cannot believe that with all the present risks i have of coming into contact in every day life, that several holes out in the woods, playing the game i love, i could end up dead?
Please tell me this thread is a joke?"Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual"

Much the same as my round on Sunday, the clowns in the 4some ahead of us. Clearly a bunch of hacks, 6 shots each on a 140 yard Par 4, then as they exit the green one clown pulls his cart across the green. So do you let something like that go? Not me, I ripped a strip off his back from the tee box. On the next tee box he leaves a 3/4 full can of beer sitting on the tee. Honestly do people like this deserve to be on a golf course at all?
Sorry gentlemen, I do not condone acts of stupidity on the golf course. I have played this game for 25 years now. It is a game of intgerity and sportsmanship. Someone who is stupid enough to carry a jar of penaut butter with him on a golf course, and putting gobs of it in the cup does not deserve to be playing a GENTLEMAN'S GAME.My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

Second. I believe in everything you said. But there's subtle ways of making a point and confrontational ways of doing it. In my years of business, managing teams and being a team member my self. A mature approach whereby you lead with example gets better results over the long run. it creates a calm, constructive atmosphere where more ideas can be shared.
'Tearing a strip' pff people only exasperates the negative situation In the face of an attack our first instinct is to defend, then try to retaliate. ( Beer on the next tee ).
I'm simply pointing out thotho corrected the situation in a timely manner. That's all you can do especialyl when your'e playing with someone you don't know.

I tend to forget about all the bad pairing I have had. I do remeber a lot of the good ones. I am 2 for 2 this year with pairings. Had some great people, good laughs and great conversation. Hope it continues.

don't get me wrong, I've golfed with some really nice people. I went once to the canadian by myself and they paired me with this guy. He was retired but the man wouldn't let me pay for a single thing! He was so nice. I felt like julia roberts in pretty woman... minus the sex of course and also me not being a hooker..

I've hit into ppl before. I've never hit anyone though. It happens in golf if you play this game long enough. You'll do it. Especially on a new course with blind tee shots. Just chill the F#$@ out people.
That being said. I was paried with a group at Watsons Glen just east of the GTA. After being hit into for 5th time, by a guy who could clearly see us in the fairway all 5 times the guy I played with pissed on his ball. Previous attempts with this 'self proclaimed 'long hitter' using reason and polite requests failed. Just an FYI our foursome finished in exactly 4 hours and there was never a gap in front of us.
The moral isn't to one up the previous story of the Peanut butter. It's just to highlight the need for ppl to behave in a classy manner on the golf course. it's just a crazy game and the ppl playing it are just as psycho. The game is like life. Just relax and get through it.

Sorry sharky, its not a joke. If I wasn't a gentle man I would post his phone number and let everyone give him a piece of their mind. As for you GB, what do you suggest I should have done? walk home 60km? he did it, yes it took me 3 holes to get him to stop but I did get him to stop. The guy had enough penut butter to do all 27 holes and manderly.
Shark, I'm sure this is the first time in the history of golf that someone has put penut Butter into a hole so I don't think its something that you have to worry about.

I never thought of sharks point either; at a recent business function we had some scallops wrapped in bacon (so tasty) point of my story is one of our clients asked what kind of oil it was made with; he proceeded to tell me that if it was peanut oil or any other type of nut for that matter he'd be dead before he got to the door if he even touched one of those tasty scallops. Completely shocked me; either way it turns the whole peanutbutter in the hole from an ignorant act of a carless person who plays golf into something disastrous! NOT COOL.
Thotho: you should ruthlessly cull those people from your address book... Unless of course your always projecting what you did onto one of your "buddies" just kidding

I realize that the chances of this happening to me are one in a mill. But the best angle on this guy would have been "yeah it will get the guys behind, but what about the mess for the people behind them?". He Can't argue with that.
ps I carry epipens but only two. Each gives you about 7 min breathing. If you were way out on a course you wouldn't make it back in time. Hate this stupid allergy, only started at age 13. Anyhew.."Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual"

just got off the phone with the course. After sharky made his point I wanted to make sure no one got sick or died and if they did i would turn steve in. Anyway, no harm done, everyone is fine. No one even mentioned it to them

Well done for trying to make things right, even though you were not the culprit.
Good job Deepak.
