Popular Post brutal brutus Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Just got back out on the course over the weekend after an accident with a golf cart put me on the DL for nearly two weeks... Like an idiot, i was trying to reach over and unhook the passenger side clasp for the windscreen while driving down the cart path, instead of just waiting for 15sec when i would have stopped by the green on a par3. Being the fat ass that i am, my stomach caught the wheel which suddenly made the cart do a 90 to the left. I got thrown out of the cart and landed on the path with basically all my 300lbs onto my left elbow. But it was my arm's impact into the left side of my ribs that caused the real problem. Some very painfully sore ribs but thankfully i didn't actually break any. Could'nt hardly sleep the first couple nights. All in all though, I was extremely lucky to walk away with just a few cuts on my elbow and some bruised ribs. I guess all those years of drinking a lot of milk finally paid off...

It rolled off to the left side of the hole about 50' but didn't hit anything. It was one of those top heavy Yamaha carts and as sharp as it turned, I'm actually amazed it didn't flip over and crush me instead of just ejecting me out... Ironically, this isn't the first time I've been thrown out of a cart. I used to drive the beer cart at the same course right after high school and i clipped a railroad tie that they used to have lining the edge of some the teeboxes on the side of the cart path. Didn't get hurt then either but i landed flat on my chest that time.... and was 20yrs younger. Maybe i need to stop tempting fate and start walking the course again...

cksurfdude Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Oh yeah I prefer to walk also! Last time I was riding in a cart with someone else driving .. he almost put us head on into a tree... Twice!! He was that kinda guy that liked to do .. or: TRY to do .. several other things at once other than just driving (eg. open his drink, open his snack, check his scorecard, tech for his sunglasses, etc etc). sirchunksalot, JohnSmalls, GolfSpy_SHARK and 2 others 5 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

OK, I wasn't going to do this, but my wife doesn't read MGS posts. (I read to her those that I think she would find interesting, funny or weird.) Many years ago, my wife played in a tournament with co-workers at a dog track course about 30 miles from here. They had really old carts and she got one of those 3-wheel carts with a steering handle instead of a wheel. She had never driven one before. So, strange course... strange cart. Well, before the tournament started she was driving the cart (being Irish, yes she was driving too fast) and got the single front wheel off the cart part and it hit a hole. The wheel turned, which turned the cart and the steering handle; tossed her out of the cart into some bushes. One of the guys she knew watched this happen, and said: "Ride 'em cowgirl!" sirchunksalot, JohnSmalls, Shapotomous and 3 others 3 3 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was that kinda guy that liked to do .. or: TRY to do .. several other things at once other than just driving (eg. open his drink, open his snack, check his scorecard, tech for his sunglasses, etc etc). I walked all the time when i was younger. I used to work at The Vineyard outside Cincy, OH and that gave me free golf at all the GreatParks(formerlly the Hamilton Co Park District) courses around the city, only had to pay for cart. So i started walking and playing for free most of the time. The back9 at the Vineyard is pretty hilly so i would walk the front and ride the back. Still have a nice Titleist carry bag that i will use again at some point and even being nearly 20yrs old and heavilly used back then, the stand still works perfectly. Ironically, i had just ordered my new Cincy Bengals cart bag that i posted in the WITB thread the night before this happened, lol.

dlow206 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 @Chip Strokes - send this to your MIL. OP was doing anything too crazy on the carts and got injured, so that can be the starting point for what could possibly happen with your brother inlaws at the country club.

She has told her cart story to many people over the years, so I'm assuming... yes, I know... that it's OK to tell it here. She'll probably hear that I posted it from @fixyurdivot next time we play anyway.
