I used to be a member at Hidden Lake outside Toronto in the West end.
I took a pal of mine golfing and on one of the holes my buddy hit the shot of his life. Straight down the middle. He followed that with his second best shot right to the green a few feet from the pin. Absolutely the best he had ever had in two shots. Trust me..I played golf with him twice a week and those were the best two shots he had ever put together!
From the left side..comes a runnin a beagle. Who proceeds to take his ball and start palying with it, flipping it in the air and chasing it all over the green. This beagle is havin the time of his life with his golf ball.
My pal is now having puppies himself. He just hit the two best shots of his life and a dog appears out of no where and is playing ruff ruff with his Titleist.
Turns out the dog belonged to the greenkeeper..lol...so a sand wedge was out of the question.
We put my Pals ball back to the aporximate position while...eagle Beagle sat mesmorized on the edge of the green. With eagle Beagle looking on my pal proceeds to 4 putt! Dog made him choke..i was pissing myself.
Funny thing was I stuck mine right beside the pin..and the dog never even went near it. It was only my buddies ball that captured his interest. I convinced him after than that X-outs are very enticing to dogs! Sad sap believed it!
