Worst day of golf in my life! A must see.

that is a bad day lol. A guy at my club played a round at a neighboring country club and his group found a dead gentleman in his yard across the street from the course (city course). Apparently the guy was doing yard work and had a massive heart attack. Needless to say their round was over.

funny that this would come up today. I played a round yesterday and a couple minutes before the course I saw a buch of police cars uner a bridge. from a distance you think maybe a drug bust. as I got closer I could see a body bag . looked up and a truck had flipped over , all busted and mangled , with a door open. looks like the driver was thrown out of the truck down the bank. the highway was busy with traffic , no ambulance looks like it had just happened .

I was in the range a couple of years ago. An elderly guy hit his second close to the pin on the par 5 first hole he got so excited that he suffered a massive heart attack and died. True story. What a way to go.

If I holed my second shot on a par 5, then I think I would be ready to depart this world

we had an 86 year old lady die at a course near me last week. she drove to close to a sand trap and flipped the cart on top of her.

sure are some bad days there . here is a link to the accident that I saw on my way to the course a couple of days ago . sounds like he may have been there a while before anybody found him .

No death, but a bunch of yellow jackets flew up my shorts last Saturday and stung me. I learned something new, I am allergic to stings.

Was playing Kingsbarns - guy died in the group ahead of us on the 14th Tee. s*** day for me, about 1,000,000 times worse for his family, as he was on a golf vacation from the US...

Gee and I felt bad about shanking 3 in the water on one hole yesterday ... actually I took a 10 on that par 5 so I do still feel bad (I did par the next one though).

I play with some senior golfers from time to time.............

One of them told me about one of his former golf partners. He said his partner was short of breath after putting out. They had teed off on the next hole and charlie was still still in the cart..They said...."Charlie...you're up"....or something to that effect and he was slumped over in his cart dead. This is how I want to go.......

After dragging his buddy around all day I hope he has enought energy left for the wife---skip the golf and play at home.

Old golf joke but pretty well brought to life.

The reason there was no ambulance was that they had probably already showed up and "pronounced" the patient. The police aren't allowed to pronounce. Paramedics don't' "work" traumatic arrests. It's pointless to attempt to resuscitate someone who has lost a pulse as a result of significant trauma (something like less than 1% have a return of pulse). That's a sad story though, when those big rigs flip, anything can happen.

This is some thread!

This is some thread!

 

Please excuse me everyone while I go get hammered and cut myself.

My grandpa died on the golf course got to the 18th hole had a heart attack after he hit his shot. Died right away on the tee block. He always hoped that would be where he went! The buddies he was with finished the hole after all was said and done.

my pops in law told me about this... it was right before we went up there to visit them for the summer.

So a good friend and golfing buddy had a heart attack on Thursday of this past week. It was while playing hockey not golf but this is still related. When I visited him in the hospital on Friday he made the comment that if it ever happens during a round that we should prop him up in the cart, put a beer in his hand and finish the round. I laughed pretty hard when he said that and most importantly was happy that he was doing well enough to even make such an awesome comment considering the circumstances. If there is where I go it could be worse

Another medic in the forum?

Wow some seriously morbid stuff in here haha

Second the "Police can't pronounce death" comment.

Even on something as obvious as someone with a hole in the side of their head, a medic still has to come to the scene and pronounce time of death.

Damn I will never complain about a bad day of golf again.. haha
