Stupid kids versus crazy old men

[MiniBlueDragon]

Saw this and thought I'd share:

Silly move by the kids but those guys went above and beyond...

[mad max]

I am glad the old guy broke the car.  I think that a car like that could cause substantial damage to the greens with its tires.  If they didn't break the car I could see those kids doing that 10 or 15 times in one day.  In that case I could see that green covered in tire ruts that would take weeks to heal.  When the kid misses the ball the first time you see the car reverse rapidly and I will guarantee that that maneuver caused damage to the green.  It looked like a gas car and if it was leaking fuel it would leave a line of dead grass where ever it went.  I would not advocate swinging a club at anyone though, but it didn't look like he was real close to the kid.

Destroying the RC car was probably appropriate, but chasing the kids with golf clubs could have landed them both in jail.

If kids want to pull pranks they have to expect not all of their "victims" will find their antics humorous.  I would have laughed, but I'm not a very good golfer so it would have been a welcome distraction.

Now that was funny...why the kid got into the old guy's face after he hit the best shot of the day is beyond me...you get in someone's face you better be ready to suffer the consequences...the old guy must have been a runner in his day.

I really don't think I would have smashed the car...I probably would have tossed it into the bunker and then try to remember the rule about an outside agency.

What did those kids expect to happen? They are lucky to not had a putter rapped to the side of the head. It's obvious by the reaction of the kid after his little prank toy was smashed that it never occured to him that something bad could happen. It took him by complete surprise. It's not any potential damage to the course that would bother me but it's the total lack of respect. Note to the kids out there, that's a pretty good way of getting your @$$ kicked.

Not smart to swing at the kids with the putter, but I don't see a lot of sympathy from a judge or jury when the videotape is introduced as evidence.  I think it's outstanding that he broke the rc car.

I agree with the comments above. The busted RC car is basically a lesson learned about pushing boundaries and what you can/can't do as a kid without repurcussions. I think it was a bit over the top to swing at the kid with a putter and then chase them away for so long but that's an opinion solely based on not being there myself. Had I just played my best round of golf ever and had it ruined by stupid kids I'd have been pretty livid too. Had I played my normal crap golf I'd have just laughed at the whole situation.

im not sure if its fake or not. Towards the end it can make you think it is but I still dont know. Those RC cars that are fast like that one are atleast a couple hundred bucks tho

If I was the golfer I think I would have laughed for a bit. I would have started to get pissed the longer it went on though. It would cease to be funny pretty fast.

I only did at the end. They kid with the camera sucks at acting.

The funny thing is that the old guy probably did more damage to the green than the car. I don't think that car has enough power or enough traction (the tires on those are usually really flimsy rubber) to do any real damage, though I obviously still wouldn't advise doing that.

[Austin Angel]

our not gonna have tire tracks from that omg people its a remote control car , it has rubber tires and not metal spikes juding out from the side, its only rubber

[kennay92]

200lb+ men walking on greens in golf cleats vs remote control car rubber tires... dont think the cars gonna do to much damage to the grass lol.

Find it ironic that people playing a game based on high morals and tradition getting fluttered by kids..

Even if it is fake, it is a reminder...

I would have loved to see one golfer catch the car and give it to the other guy to hold on, finish his putt, take the car back from the other guy to let him finish his put before putting the car where they found it and moving to the next hole..

Or just picking it up nicely and just turning it over on its back so it cant move, finish putting, then turn it back over. ahahaha

[TourSpoon]

Well one thing is for sure...those guys have a new swing thought!

[Cossackred]

Never mess with cranky old people that are out trying to relax. Bad idea all around.

reminds me of this...sort of.

[flguy]

I really believe those old guys were overreacting, if i had something similar to that happen to me, i would have thought it was hilarious. It's a harmless prank

[Bastid]

Haha...epic Senior Citizen Stereotype Fail at 1:06.

I personally would not have destroyed the RC car, but if the kids play with fire they might get burnt. I don't know, I'm not really in favor of them swinging clubs at the kids but I have no problem with the destruction of a stupid race car. The kids did that to antagonize the golfers; they seemed to forget the old man had a steel club in his hand. Good laugh though, I've been lucky, never had a problem on a golf course.
