I was playing in a foursome today. 3 of us were walking and the 4th was riding. We were coming up to the tee on the 5th hole and saw this guy to the left of our tee box getting ready to hit (he was playing the 4th hole). Instead of waiting for us to get past him he went ahead and hit his ball and shanked the crap out of it. It came right at us like a bullet and actually went through the guy's golf cart that was playing with us. Narrowly missed his head as it ripped through the cart. We all yelled for the guy to look out but the dilbert that hit the ball never yelled "fore" or anything. My heart skipped a beat for sure. I know no one on this forum would ever be that careless but, just in case, be careful out there. This could have been a real disaster.

Wow thats close, what do you mean ripped right through the golf cart? Do you mean went like inside the cockpit of it, and went above the drivers head?

Keep your head on a swivel out there. Nice pic by the way. Great idea of maximizing practice time even while on the crapper.

We had a similar situation years ago where some guy who hit way right tried to hit OVER us while we were putting on an adjacent green. We told him that it was a pretty stupid move and he agreed.

This, friends, is why I need to get my butt down to Land, Air, and Sea (army surplus store) and pick up a helmet for when I'm on the course during crowded times.

But really, close call, there must have been some extraordinary luck out there. The strangest things do happen on the golf course...

Yes, something like that. The ball entered through the front of the cart, whistled right past the driver's right ear and exited the back of the cart. Funny thing is, the guy driving the cart was one of the course rangers who was playing the front nine with us before he went on duty for the afternoon. He didn't even say anything to the guy that hit the ball. The guy said he was sorry and Mike said, "no problem." Not sure I would have been so easygoing about it.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.

      PGA Tour 6 Rule Changes for 2026

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
