Dustin Johnson isn't the only one who has trouble in the bunkers...

From the article:

Ladies and gentlemen, we may have found someone who had a worse time in a bunker this week than Dustin Johnson.

Our story begins at the Topstone Golf Course in South Windsor, Conn., where course workers arrived Wednesday morning to find the scene you see at right at the course's eighth green.



Sweet mercy! An upside-down Saab in a bunker! What club do you use to get that one out, do you figure?

Well, conveniently enough, not long after this car was found, Matthew F. Diulio reported that his car -- a black Saab -- had been stolen. Look at that -- a law-enforcement circle closed nice and neat.

Except that it wasn't. Turns out that the cops had some suspicions about the whole "stolen" aspect of this, and they arrested Diulio for filing a false police report. Diulio admitted that he and a pal had taken the car for a little impromptu tour of the Topstone Golf Course, and -- much like Mr. Johnson at the PGA Championship -- ended up in a most unfortunately placed bunker.

Before cratering, Diulio caused an estimated $10,000 worth of damage to the golf course. We're betting he won't be earning it by driving the beer cart.

(Thanks to the Hartford Courant for the tip.)

Wow!

Punishment should include being strapped to a pole in the middle of a driving range armed with a bunch of angry big hitters.

I wonder what the Rules Of Golf say about hitting into bunkers that are currently crime scenes?

This is fairly close to Storrs, might have to play this course.

Is that a loose impediment?

A car isn't natural. By my (admittedly poor) understanding, it would be an obstruction.

Knocking out a window from 150+ warrants a hole in one.

Awesome stuff! Lol

Sweet justice. He should have to get up at 5:00 am for the rest of the year and mow the greens as community service.

They would never let somebody who cant successfully drift around a green without flipping his car into a sandtrap mow the greens. He should have to rake all the sandtraps at whistling straights by hand LOL.

I think that the yellow tape would designate it sort of like ground under repair.

Is a ball that goes into that bunker evidence or can you play it as it lies?

Nah it can't be removed... remember Happy Gilmore, play it as it lies! LOL. He had to play off the VW Bug, why should a Saab be different!
