Here is a link to a funny golf video posted on CNN this morning.

Cool video. That fox is a cute little bugger. It would be funny if they ever find where he's stashing all the balls.


I remember years ago playing here in Hawaii and a mongoose ran up to my ball in the fairway and took it.

last year, during our match play tourny, saw a fox go a steal one of the foursomes behind us ball... We were laughing but had to tell him so he could rule it correctly and not think he had a lost ball

i think they (fox) thinkk the balls are eggs, or they just like to F' with us golfers

At my local course in DC, there's a fox that runs all around the 36 hole complex and the driving range.

Snatched my ball right off the fairway once. I just kept thinking "he's headed for my ball. There's no way he'll pick it up." Scooped it right up in his mouth and started burying about 30 yards into the rough.

It was a so confusing and astounding it was hard to be mad at the lost ball.

My dog loved golf balls. Why wouldn't a fox?

(Except that fox seemed to be on a MISSION. Like he was sick and tired of people cluttering up his yard with those damn balls!)

The little bastard!

I had a coyote walk onto the 11th green after we hit our approach shots at Rustic Canyon last weekend.
He didn't t ake the balls, but he didn't really want to leave the green either. He wound up trotting off a few yards until we putted out.

No Joke - A sign put up near my house yesterday:

"Warning. Coyote seen in neighborhood recently.
[picture]
Last seen with black cat in mouth."

wasn't on a golf course, but once playing putt putt on a downhill, blind hole, i hit my putt, see its near the hole and go watch my girlfriend putt. go to see where her's ends up and my ball is gone and there is a two year old running across the bridge from our hole with my ball in his mouth. the girl friend made me take penalty strokes.

There's no penalty strokes for that. Get a new girlfriend:

18-1/5 Ball Stolen by Outside Agency from Unknown Spot


Q. At a par-3 hole, part of the green and the adjoining area cannot be seen from the tee. In this unseen area are a bunker, fairway and a dry water hazard.

A player plays towards this obscured area and cannot tell where the ball comes to rest. When the players are near the green, they see a boy running away with a ball in his hand. The boy throws the ball back and the player identifies it as his ball.

The player is unable to determine from where to play his next stroke under Rule 18-1. He does not know whether the ball was on the green, on the fairway or in one of the hazards.

How should he proceed?

A. As it was impossible to know where the ball should have been replaced under Rule 18-1, the player should, in equity (Rule 1-4), drop the ball in an area which was neither the most, nor the least, favorable of the various areas where it was equally possible that the ball originally lay.

Aw, maybe the fox has his own Ebay store selling AAA golf balls?

Maybe, but YOU try googling "foxey balls" from work!

What brand of balls the fox like? Can we have "Top 10 balls are ..., based on fox' selection"

Maybe I know which golf course? I really want to see that fox and feed it a few range balls.

That's great ! How do you rule that ? Is that a lost ball ? hehe

Wouldn't it be:

Rule 18. Ball at Rest Moved

18-1 By Outside Agency
If a ball at rest is moved by an outside agency, there is no penalty and the ball must be replaced.

Outside Agency
An “outside agency’’ is any agency not part of the match or, in stroke play, not part of the competitor’s side, and includes a referee, a marker, an observer and a forecaddie. Neither wind nor water is an outside agency.

I was playing with a guy a few months ago, we hit our drives and as we're walking towards him a cat comes out of the bushes, grabs his ball and takes it back into the trees. Damned funny.

I was playing a course called Crump n Fox in western Mass... had it happen to our foursome. We went back to the proshop to tell the staff and they said it happens alot... those dumb a$$ foxes think that they are eggs, the pro said that they find the balls all around the course all chewed up. And you think the food is bad at the snack bar between nines? It was so common there the used ball for sale bucket was labeled "fox eggs: $1 each"
