Frankly, I’m shocked that this doesn’t happen more frequently. Obviously, most spectators at a tour event have common “golf sense,” but it only takes one dumbass in a crowd of thousands.
Last weekend, at the Japan Open Ryo Ishikawa hooked a ball towards a cluster of trees on the 6th hole. While the ball was still rolling, a woman picked the ball up and walked off! Fans started giving the woman grief, at which point she got flustered and started screaming.
She was quoted as saying, “I am a fan of Ryo and this is the first time I’ve been to a golf tournament. I really don’t know the rules and I just tried to take the ball home as a souvenir.”
It’s all becoming clear now…this lady has been following me around on the weekends. And to think my wife didn’t believe me when I said I was too good to lose so many balls in a round!
