Lifesavers = Par Savers?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Never knew this was a thing but I found it absolutely hilarious. I was walking a golf course the other day, and noticed there was was busted pieces of lifesavers all over the fairway. I was a single and paired up with 3 older retirees who were cool as hell. I pointed it out to them, and they just started laughing, saying so and so was at it again.  Apparently one of their buddies who was even older (81 I thought they said? maybe 71) in the group in front us was notorious for carrying around lifesavers while golfing. He would reach down, and tee up his ball on the damn things, and would flush his shots and the evidence would be mostly disintegrated.  They were even joking they once saw a stack of them in bunker and green side rough. 

So if you're walking around the course and see lifesavers scattered....
