I was playing the other day and I was about 100 yds out on a par 5 and right next to my ball I found one of those nifty little divot repair switch blade type tools. I looked around and nobody was anywhere near me so I thought it was a little present from the golf gods. obviously I have found clubs on the course, generally near the green which I always turn in, don't need any bad golf Karma. It got me wondering what kind of cool and/or weird stuff have people stumbled across on the course.

i found the remains of many a cigar.

I've found everything from nasty diapers to rabid dogs

I was teeing off on a long par 5 and as I was about to swing I saw out of the corner of my eye a FAT
joint! Im pretty sure someone was upset at loosing that puppy!
If you are thinking that I smoked it....then you would be right!

Score!


The only thing I've really found are golf balls in the fairway, thank you golf gods!

Have never found anything 'weird' on the course, but I did find a Ping G5 Hybrid lying in some bushes two years ago which I thought was rather odd.

Now that's a real present from the golf gods lol.

a 3 foot snake wrapped around my feet. I don't know how I didn't see it until it was around my ankles. I was playing in a tourny and it got my heart rate up like no other.

a bra in a sandtrap

I would have called a timeout and cleaned up the mess that I left in my slacks!

Cart guys once found a little bag of cocaine left in one of the carts. That was great to come to 18 and see 3 cop cars waiting in front of the clubhouse asking all the staff about it.

When I worked on a golf course, I once found a six-pack of Miller Lite stashed in a bunker. My guess is a neighborhood kid swiped it out of the fridge and put it there for later.

One of my co-workers at another course was, shall we say, a little behind the eight-ball. He came up to me one day while I was parking the golf cart we used on the course and asked if I had seen his teeth in it. Yes, he had taken out his dentures and left them in a golf cart, though not that one. He did eventually get them back.

I foun a squid or octopus once, weird or what!

A Rolex Datejust with a very small etching on the back.....just laying on the side of small hill right next to the fairway.

Didn't turn it in. Told the clubhouse that I found a watch (didn't say what kind) and left my card. Told them if they are contacted to have the person call me.

Got a call from a very happy 60+ year old man that night.


Karma is a mother....hahaha.

Came across a pack of about 30 wild pigs on a par 3, my wife then proceeded to hit it right in the middle of them.

Some guys claim their wives are boring; you have visual evidence that your wife was boaring.

I found a head on a muni course that I used to play as a kid.

i found a brand new ping redwood putter before in the bushes on a par 3 up by the green. i wanted to use it and put it right in my bag, but . . . i turned it in after my round.

Me and my mate once found a bag of weed on the course. Also there was a story in the paper a few months ago in my local area, about a guy who found a gun in a bunker, it was in a bag with bullets!

Women's underpants and a used condom, in the men's bathroom on hole #8, at Westfork, in Conroe.

The only "weird" thing I've found was a weed pipe - I thought a golf course was an odd place for one.

One time I found something resembling a decent golf game. Weird.

NO WAY! I call shenanigans!
And if this is true, WOW!

What do you do in that situation?
Just hanging out, thinking about pars and birdies..LA..DI..DA..DI..DA oh look a head?!

Back in the early 1970s I was playing a junior tournament at McLaren Park (now Gleneagles) in San Francisco. Of all things, I found a XXX rated magazine laying near a tee. Strange and true! And yes, I stuffed it in my bag and took it home.

what kind of snake? They have some venimous ones in Cali right? 3 foot snake...that would freak me out big time. Not a fan of snakes at all

other tidbits: I left a never compromise voodoo putter about 10 feet off the green once as a gift to anyone who wanted it (i kept taking my anser out of the bag every now and then and wanted to stop doing that)

today i found 2 brand new Nike One Platinums mixed in with range balls at a course around here.

while playing in florida i teed off from the forward tees because an alligator was sleeping on the back tees

I found a used condom in the fairway once...

I was like WTF?

I once found two teenage kids making out next to the 2nd green. They apparently wondered onto the course thinking it was just part of the park. Also have found a rolex before found two hundred dollars once as well. Whoever lost the $200 never came to claim it. The time with the rolex I turned it in at the turn and the guuy who lost it left me $100 for turning it back in. I hae also found six pack of beer and new sleeves of Pro v1's in the golf cart before

I watched a pair of Timber Rattlesnakes fight over a female about 2 feet from my ball.

I guess the players head wasn't in the game.....CUE CSI music...

We had a coyote chase some people on a par 5 once. They just left thier balls in the fairway and moved on. Called the clubhouse and we went out to run it off. Then it stared down a father son group on another tee box. We had to chase it off the course, must have been rabid.

My buddy found a weed pipe with a fresh load packed in it. We couldn't figure out how it got dropped - maybe the guy got scared and fled, hoping to pick it up later.

I've found plenty of wedges and putters, always turned them in or found the owner within a couple of holes.

A few months ago, a guy in a cart drove back to askme if I'd found a wedge. I said no. He drove off and I could see him in the distance, driving around and asking other golfers. A moment later I arrived at my ball in the fairway... right next to his wedge. At that time of year they were letting the fairways grow out so it was like light rough and I didn't even see the wedge until I almost stepped on it.

Tonight at the range had a brand new ProV1x in my bucket...cha ching!!!!

Funniest thing found on a course is when my friend's dad(Keith) shanks a ball into the trees on the right. Goes over to where he thinks he hit it. Sees a ball realizes it's not his but decides he's going to take it because it's certainly no one else's ball on the course right now. Picks it up, written in black marker on the ball..."F*** You Keith". To this day he swears we did it and none of us had a damn thing to do with it. So weird!

Alas, it wasn't a real human head. It did get my heart racing because all I could think of was the movie Stand by Me. It was the head of a mannequin but it looked real and I kept it and carried it around in my car for about a year.

In 1993, I found a Washington Redskins SUPERBOWL ring on the tee box of a par 3. My buddy and I stood there holding it and staring at it. Within 30 seconds a golf cart comes flying around the corner. The guy driving it was so huge he sat in the middle of the cart seat so he could fit inside.
Needless to say, it was his. I forget the name but he had to be one of the biggest men I've ever seen. He was a lineman for the 'Skins at the time.

To this day I swear that ring weighed 2 pounds or more. It was HUGE!

ZING!



Thats wild stuff


I was at a pretty crappy golf course here near where I live in NC (think glorified cow pasture) in the summertime near dusk, and three coyotes were making their rounds as we were coming in on our round. I mentioned to to Leroy, the superintendent/owner/"golf pro"/owner of the farm beside of the course, and he said that some coyotes had been killing off his caves and free range chicken.

Leroy is too old to really do much these days, and when he mentioned all the problems they'd caused him, I realized that I had taken my .22 mag to the range a few days before and hadn't taken it out of the Jeep yet; since we were the last people on the course, I mentioned it to Leroy, and he asked me if I'd take care of it.

Here's where it gets good...

Since the course is only 9 holes, the first tee box is almost right beside of the 9th green. I went into prone position on the first tee box, sighted in the first one from about 150 meters, and got him. Before the second one heard the shot, I got him in the head too. I shot the third but didn't take him down, but Leroy hasn't had any problems since then. I've never paid to play there since.

So basically, thats the most weird thing I've ever found/done on a golf course, and I've outed myself as being the biggest hick in the history of the plannet.

damn, my bad man. I thought I flushed that down the toilet and then shoved the panties in my pocket as a souvenir for my accomplishment

This was today, I found a empty bag of syringes and a few 40oz bottles looking for my ball, thats baltimore city for you....

Worst thing I've ever found: I didn't find it, but they did find a body on the course one day when I was playing and I saw them removing it.

Best thing: Back 10-15 years ago, there were two girls who used to enjoy laying-out topless in the backyard of a house, maybe 50 yards from the tee box of a local course. Pretty good scenary. I only played there maybe 5 times and saw them twice.

Craziest thing for me was a close encounter with a black bear. Playing at Black Forest in Northern Michigan I'm over a putt and my wife, in a very low voice almost a whisper, is trying to get my attention. Mildly annoyed, I back off to find out what is so important and she's pointing with her putter at a black bear staring us down from the edge of the woods about 30 yards from the green. She asks what are we going to do if the bear charges. She had never heard the old joke about 2 guys, a bear, and trying to out run the bear. So I reply if the bear charges we run to the cart and get the you know what out of there. She says we can't out run a bear. I reply that I don't need to, I've only got to out run her! The encounter ended without any excitment, thank god, with the bear wandering off and us playing out the hole.

I was on a Muni COuse in Washington DC. Our foursome hears what we thought were firecrackers. About 10 minutes later we see an ambulance racing down the fairway. Turned out there was a gunfight on hole 13 over a bet gone bad. Must have been one hell of a bet. No one was killed but the tee box was all roped off when we got to the hole.

I found a burnt out car on one of my local tracks, some lads nicked it, dumped it on the course and set fire to it

Full 20 round case of Federal .270 Remmy magnum's in the tree's. We see the odd deer, but not many so I did find that one a bit odd...

I was playing in a tournament, first group of the day. On the 5th hole we got to our tee shots and there were 5 cows just hanging out of the green. It turns out the fence at a nearby farm had somehow fell down and they made their way onto the 5th green. It was a 3 some and we played to the green with the cows on it.

I was ball hawking at a course when I was a kid.. using a sand trap rake to pull a few balls out of the muck in a little creek.. got the two I was going for, but also pulled a square dimpled mesh ball out too.. sweet! It was still in great shape too!
I found a Vokey wedge in the woods one time.. I kinda knew where it was though, because I found it on monday when caddies could play. The guy I was caddieing for the previous Saturday threw it in there after shanking one, and didnt want to go look for it, he was that upset. I felt like keeping it, but I knew whose it was, and he always tipped me well.. He was a 3 handicap but had a crazy temper. He gave me 30.00 for the wedge.
One early Sunday morning in 87 or 88 a hot air ballon did an emergency landing right in the middle of the 1st fairway at Rhode Island Country Club; tore the fairway all up. The pro, Fred Bruno, was a hot head, and he was PO'D! Pretty amazing. Everyone had to tee off on 2.

I once found a pair of golf shoes burried in a sand trap, the wierdest part was they were size 16!!

Last summer 2 cows got out of a feedyard and were on the golf course.

There were a large number of a certain male body part drawn in one of the bunkers at my course last year, talk about weird

Found 4 hamlets today lol ,

Jack x.

Yeah...that was mine which explains why I'm out of the 14 club ho challenge.

I found a 6000 dollar Rolex on the fairway and turned it in. The owner gave me a 5 dollar tip, lol.

haha yup, happened all the time at the course I used to work at
