Mom Teed Off by Urinating Drunk Golfers

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) - A mother teed off by drunken golfers urinating near her house by the 18th hole resorted to videotaping the men after no action was taken on her complaints. Video of some men relieving themselves behind trees at the city-owned course was played on local and national television news.

 

"Many times I would say, 'You're on camera,' and they'd keep right on going. They'd yell and scream obscenities at me," Delisa Schubert said.

 

Schubert, her husband and daughters ages 11 and 15 live next to the Tennessee Centennial Golf Course in Oak Ridge, 20 miles west of Knoxville. She said they family moved there so the girls could improve their golf game.

 

Schubert has reported the problem to police, city officials, the local district attorney and the golf course manager. They suggested she record the offenders, and in a year she says she has captured more than 40 golfers in the act.

 

Signs banning public urination are posted on the golf course, and the city is talking to the course operator about the issue, said Josh Collins, director of the city's recreation and parks department. There are restrooms nearby at the 16th hole and the clubhouse.

 

Schubert says the underlying problem is too much beer and no restraint.

 

"When you have no inhibition, you're just going to go anywhere," she said.

 

"On the face of this, it's funny. But when you think about it, it's extremely dangerous. They're going to get in their car and drive off drunk."

 

The only thing I can think of is that this is Kor and one of his friends on his day off...

Perhaps you started drinking at the softball field and ended up at the golf course :)

This mom sounds both MADD and PEEved. Maybe the tapes could be issued as Golfers Gone Wild (Or Stupid)? I think she has a right to be angry and to have taken some action.

I'm speaking from personal experience here...since I'm a golfer and I drink, sometimes at the same time....When you gotta go, you gotta go, and there aren't that many bathrooms on a golf course, especailly if it's a long course....I know I've had to make a few stops behind the bushes on the back nine before, but never right next to someone's yard.

These drunken oafs are exposing themselves near the home of youn girls - yeah the mother should be mad. Not to mention the health hazard of body fluids being improperly dumped.

 

Is it possible to play golf without drinking? I would think you could play better if you did. If I know I'll be away from facilities for a while I limit fluid intake so no sympathy for those who choose not to - I mean you're not drunk until you start drinking.

Unicorn Hunter obviously doesn't know the purpose of going out to play golf.........

I think she is jealous about not being able to pee standing up.

Hey...Girls can pee standing up, we just can't aim.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

Well according to most girls, most guys can't aim either.
