I’ve been trying to see how long I can old out talking about this situation, but after it hit Knoxnews and the AP, I figure I can’t hold back much longer.
It seems that Pigpen isn’t the only one who likes to pee in the flowers…
Theres evidently a bunch of dumbasses that like to golf over at the Centennial (should be paying for itself in 10 years!), get tore back, and let loose around the 18th hole, right next to this woman’s house, who evidently bought a house next to a golf course thinking that people wouldn’t be peeing in her backyard or something. Geez.
Man, I make no bones to anybody who knows me of my contempt for golf and the whole damn golf experience. Its a waste of land, it has idiotic fashion trends and terminology, and tends to attract the most shallow, contemptible people. Yes, its a judgement call, and yes, some of my friends play golf, but I still make fun of them, both behind their back, and to their face. Yes I do.
Wait, I lost my train of thought. Crap…
Anyway, golf is dumb. And peeing in public is too, unless you’re 4. Then its cute.

You forgot the YouTube link!
Seriously though, as one who grew up around golfers, everyone knows this occurs. The lady knew when she bought the house that it was likely.

Yes, yes you do make fun of golfers :)
BTW - I played my first round of the year on Wednesday and I had nary the urge to water the local flora.
Oddly, most golf courses wrap around so that the 18th is pretty close to the 1st hole. So they are probably doing this within a few yards of a bathroom. Un.be.lieveable.

You just insulted a good half of my extended family, AT. I’ll have to ask them about their urinary habits on the golf course.
I personally think this is all a bit on the funny side, but I have to wonder something. Why, if what Netmom says is true, is urinating in public an accepted practice among golfers? How do women golfers fit in?

Funnels?

Women golfers generally do not participate in this activity. Women are smart enough to go before they pass the restrooms on the 16th hole.
In fairness, not all men do. But caddying for my dad as a child, I learned the proper etiquette of *not* going into the woods to help any man find a “lost” ball.
(Disclaimer: Dad never went into the woods at all.)

I agree with AT. Golf courses are a waste of a good cow pasture.

Damn, golf is not dumb! The way I play golf is dumb but that is beside the point.
I have played a lot and can’t remember many rounds that I have not ventured off in the woods (because that is usually where my ball lands) and relieved myself. It wasn’t because I was drunk, I just had to go. But on the 18th? That makes no sense at all since the clubhouse is right there. These golfers must be really wasted …

my favorite line from the news lady in netmom’s youtube link is “sheubert says she just wants relief” … fun play on words.

Funnels??
Eeeww!!
I don’t think she wants to be looking at a port-o-potty though.
I hope they do take steps to “alleviate the problem”.
(they had a lot of fun with this, didn’t they?)

Got to go, Got to go right now.

Golf is a great game with a great history. This story has nothing to do with golf. It has to do with rude idiots that should know better than to pee within eyesight of a house.
While I haven’t played in a few years, I never had a problem finding a discrete place to relieve myself…I hit a lot of balls into the woods.
