You didn't film it? You should have offered to capture the moment like people getting their picture taken infront of the Lincoln Memorial or something.
Fred . . . you gotta stop thinking of yourself so much. You are NOT the center of the universe. Get out there and HELP some people man!
I hope you at least cheered?

At my old club, we had a guy that threw his whole set of clubs in the lake on 18. That was funny, but watching him go in the water to get his wallet and keys was the best part. After getting his items out of the bag, he got to throw it in again. It really happened, and he never played golf again. He had to keep his membership, because his kids love to play.
Somebody got a good set of clubs out of the water, after he burnt the tires off the car leaving the parking lot.

more club action
at the end of a sweltering july day when my 6-iron slipped out of my hands in the follow-thru on the tee of a par 3 and DISAPPEARED into thin air!...i finally spied it about 10-feet up in branches of a pine tree next to the tee box…I almost got another club stuck up there tossing it to knock the first one down…the ball actually landed on the green, but as it was actually the third extra hole i was playing in the evening I just picked it up and went home…

Besides "shenanigans" with golf carts?
I've seen some pretty interesting characters at some of the muni's out in the country around here. My brother and I played w/ a couple guys on a fluke, 60 degree day in February. They came drunk, then each of them drank enough by about the third hole that we had a contact-high just from lookin' at 'em, and after the turn they broke out the weed and hit that pretty hard the whole back nine. Normally, if it's really bad we'd ditch them at the turn, but these guys were hilarious. One of the guys carried around a really long driver that he usually missed the ball with, and he had a little piece of green indoor/outdoor carpet that he would put under his ball before every shot. There was too much to list here, and I don't remember a lot of the day because we were practically in tears from laughing so hard....thank you for starting this thread, because I'd almost forgotten about this.

Lost toofus
Well me and my dorky buddies were waiting about 6 groups deep about 8 am on a Saturday at Oak Hollow in beautiful High Point NC home of the World Famous Tiki. On deck are these foreigners in for the furniture market. Obviously these dudes have watched a lot of golf on tv. They had on really nice expensive clothes but they were matching the "tigers" with their "elephants." I'm talking your green glen plads with orange stripes and white belts. Shoes with them little flapper thingies.
They're gettin' their pre-round gibber jabber on . . . I'm sure talking about starting a college fund for the peg leg stripper at the World Famous. I'm sure it was the foreign version of "Dude, she was wantin' me baaaaaad."
When it happens . . .
Foreign Buddy Number 1 practicing his double-cocked backswing that's way faster than his downswing, connects at point blank range with Buddy Number 2. Right smack dab on the mouth! Sounded like somebody looking for a ripe watermellon at the Piggy Wiggy. Buddy Number 2 is now rollin' around like that ant you pinched between your fangers when you were a tot right on the tee box.
Buddy Number 2 is restrained by Numbers 3 and 4 so no fistacuffs will ensue. But now Buddy Number 2 is minus . . .
a toofus. Yikes. We were had one of those milk comin' out of the nose laughs. True story.

About 6 years ago I was playing in a tournament at our local course. An elderly guy (Bob) in our foursome, about 65 or so, was well-known to be rather feisty. On the 13th tee a marshall drives towards us and Bob, who wasn't in a very good mood, announces to us that the %&^$#@* marshall better not say a word about our group playing slow because we had been waiting on every shot. Sure enough, the marshall very kindly was going around asking every group to try and play a little faster. As expected, Bob proceeds to verbally rip this poor guy apart. We finally managed to get the marshall away, but Bob continues to fume. A few holes later, on the 16th fairway, this marshall comes up behind us and says something to good old Bob, who is sitting in the cart. I have hit my approach shot to the green and am walking up to mark my ball when I hear shouting behind me. I turn around to watch Bob and the marshall involved in full all-out combat---wrestling, punching , kicking. Two guys in their late 60's goin' at it in the middle of the fairway.
I've seen people get angry about being hit into, slow play, etc. But, this was a classic. The advanced age of these guys actually made it funny. We managed to get them separated and continue the round. Still talk about it every year. (And the week following the incident the guy riding with Bob showed up wearing a football helmet)

A few years ago I was finishing up a round at Harding Park in SF. The course is between two lakes, and there is a small park area and boat launch near the entrance, and somewhat close to the 18th hole.
On the 18th tee, as the group in front of us moves out of range, I get up to hit and see a woman and two small kids walking out to the middle of the fairway. She spreads out a blanket, plops down a picnic and her two kids start running around playing tag with each other. It took a while for her to hear the 4 of us yelling out at her to move, since the tee is across a bit of water and the wind was blowing!
Needless to say, I don't think she knew anything about golf or golf courses!
