Fire started by member swinging golf club

[Theclubfix]

So I was at Strawberry Farms last week and we noticed some smoke in the distance. The smoke soon developed into a large cloud hanging over both Strawberry Farms Golf Club and also Shady Canyon Country Club....

 

I shot a text over to one of my friends who is a member over at Shady Canyon and he quickly wrote back that there was a fire on the course! The Crazy part was the Club had been closed for 5 months for a huge renovation. So come to find out it was opening day on a Saturday and some guy was hitting his ball out of the gung. Hit a rock and the club sparked. This little spark soon became a huge blaze.

 

Check out the pics below. Has to be the first time a fire has been started by a spark from a golf club....

Forgot to mention this is the highest end CC in Orange County. It was $350,000 originally to join (obviously come down from there to $250,000 since the economy fell). Tiger practices here when he is in town.

 

Anyways, How would you like to be that guy. Ha-ha. They witheld his name when they covered it on the news.
