My son-in-law runs a golf course.

I told him after the tort lawyers get done with this one he'll be hiring lifeguards for the water hazards.

Heck of a penalty.

Well, golf balls are expensive.

Dang, man, that’s a heck of a hazard. Does he get credit on his score for a hazard that kills him? BTW, why don’t they have quicksand as a hazard?

Over a $1 ball. Take the Mulligan or the hit.

“Golfer drowns in pond while searching for his ball”

OK, I can see taking a that risk if searching for balls but not searching for a ball. After all there is a spare.

Poor guy. Sad way to see an old man die.

I would think if a gator got him there would be marks on him.

On the lighter side this reminded me of when I used to play golf with my husband, of course he was slowed down by me tremendously but he enjoyed the time together...with the ball that is.

We went to a golf pro store afterwards. He was checking out the putters and I was looking around the store. A clerk came and asked me if I needed help.

I honestly did not see it coming. I asked if they sold a ball retriever.

Of course the little golf store was not big so all the guys working there were cracking up.

I mean, it WAS funny (I did see the humor in it, yes).

Some ponds drop off very quickly after just a couple of feet. He probably slipped, got a mouthful of water and never recovered.

Probably had a MI or stroke( no pun intended). Nothing was said about his co- morbidities. Should be a coroners case. Golf course operators would want to know. Maybe someone clocked him over the head...stole his wallet and dumped him in the pond...

“Deputies said a 74-year-old man playing golf at a country club in Oldsmar drowned in a pond while looking for his golf ball.”

Stupid, bumbling old shit. (I’m 80).

I guess he didn’t have enough balls.

I always carry a Callaway telescoping ball retriever in my bag. It has returned its cost in many golfballs over time. Prolly saved me from a few FL gator and snake bites too.
