So, 2 days ago were out playing golf, me, my younger brother, best friend and his son, we are on a short par 5. I crush one off the tee and I'm furthest. while I'm waiting for the others in the group to hit, this Orange shirt wearing asshole yells ''Hurry up'' from the tee box we just hit from. I let it go. after my ' second shot I'm on the fringe in 2, chipping for an Eagle. As I'm addressing the ball, another golf ball comes flying past my head, and rolls 10 yards past me on the green WE are playing. Fucker never yelled ''Four''. I lost it. I turned, and briskly started the 150 yard walk back to him, swinging my club, requesting that he joins me for a throw down. Everyone nearby stopped and watched this. I'm in a total rage.. ''COME ON MOTHERFUCKER, LETS FUCKING GO IM GUNNA BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU'', etc. As I close the guy is visibly scared. you can see it in someones eyes. He was about my age, maybe a little younger. Small. his friend was old and fat, smoking a cigar. There was another younger guy in their group, along with a women. The guy who hit into me backed off as soon as I was near striking range, and my Brother, to his credit, drove the cart there as I was closing on them and got between me and the other two guys.... He screamed at Orange shirt guy to quickly apologize. He did about 10 times. I reminded him that he could have 1. asked to play thru on the next hole, even though we had to wait for the group ahead of us or 2., atleast yelled four as his ball approached my head. After his most sincere apology I walked back to my ball, chipped on and sank my putt for a Birdie. We never saw those guys again. they played WAY behind us. So, boys and girls, remember to always yell four if youre close to another group. You may have some long haired insane man come after you to call your dumb ass out. Happy 4th.

My brother in law and I played yesterday. Guys on the adjacent hole hit our cart off the tee. We weren't in it at the time. No "four" yelled. The guy drove over, apologized profusely, said he had no idea anyone was on the hole we were playing and insisted on giving us some of his beers. No harm, no foul. It's not difficult to not be an asshole on the course.

Couldn't you just ruin his shot and maybe game by taking his ball off the green?

Couldn't you just ruin his shot and maybe game by taking his ball off the green? Couldn't get passed the not letting us know the ball was coming in. I had my arm broken on that same hole over 3 years ago. perhaps I should just skip that hole in the future, although I did take a 4 onna par 5. People don't realize how violent a sport golf CAN be....

When and if you make a hole in one, would that be considered a Bing-O?

I have worked on golf courses for over 30 years so I have a zillion stories.
I was working for a Golf Course Superintendent named Frank when I was like 18. It was a private club in Fairfield County. Frank was a great guy and an excellent Superintendent and I learned a lot from him. But he was also a crazy motherfucker. And he knew he was a crazy motherfucker.
He usually didn't mow greens but one day we were short staffed so he was out triplexing the greens. (Triplex is a riding mower.) It was a Saturday or Sunday morning and he was mowing the 11th Green, a par five with a pond next to it. I was changing cups and tee markers when I noticed a foursome coming down the fairway. No cart, just caddies. At this point, it's way to early for them to be out so they obviously just decided to jump out on the back 9.
Before he started, Frank had taken the pin out and put it off the side of the Green. I see one of the guys is about to hit to the green as Frank was still mowing but I was too far away to warn him. The guy hits one right onto the green and Frank sees it and snaps his head around to look to see who hit it and he is obviously pissed. At this point, I am not moving. The show has begun and I have a front row seat.
He keeps mowing and the next next guy hits. Again, he puts it on the green. All four guys hit and every ball lands on the green. My boss never stops mowing. He finishes right after the last guy hits and he walks over, gets the flag and puts it in the cup. Then he walked over and picked up the closest ball and threw it in the pond. The guys start screaming his name. He ignores them and proceeds to pick up the second ball and do the same. The guys begin running toward the green and screaming for him to stop.
He does not. He proceeds to pick up the next two balls and deposits them in the pond, hops on the mower and rides off. The four guys just stopped and watched him drive away with a smile on his face. It was hysterical.
