It is a lame duck golf week.  Most of the standard golf media types are digging out their end-of-year stories, top ten lists, year's best golf quotes lists etc.  By the end of next week, that story will have changed in a big way.

Almost nothing is going on in the golf world right now, except a few small stories which oddly seem to all involve water on the golf course.

Swimming with the frogs

An SUV was found in a golf course pond at Man O' War golf course in Carolina Forest.  Unfortunately, the driver was still in the vehicle.

The lengths people will go through to fish those $5 golf balls out of the lake are getting more and more extreme.

Another SUV story

In Texas another SUV found the water hazard as a 42 year old woman drove across an intersection and right into a lake at Lubbock Country Club.

Though the accident happened late at night, the woman driving was not found until 8-9 hours later.

Alcohol "may have been involved."  Right.

Lend you a hand?  Perhaps a whole arm?

At Irene Country Club in Centurion, South Africa, a human arm was found on a river bank.  The left arm was found by a course employee and had all fingers intact.

Dog lake

At Hindley Hall Golf Course in England, a dog was rescued after falling through the ice on a frozen lake.  The dog was reportedly "happy" to see his rescuers.

Advice

Based on all of the water stories from today, I'd recommend that unless you are a frog, you stay away from water hazards.
