Golf Central

This week, we've learned that dogs shouldn't be allowed anywhere near golf courses, that golf is way more important than football and to our great surprise, golf and porn don't mix. Weird that...

What use could anyone possibly have with a lawnmower and tractor from a golf course, eh? If we were going to plan a burglary, that would be the last thing on our minds... Not if you're 21-year-old Joshua John Sendon, who has 15 months in prison ahead of him for doing stealing said items from Avondale GC. Idiot...

Dogs shouldn't be alloweds near golf courses

This is probably the best story we've ever heard here at IGWT. Oscar, a five-year-old Labrador, was taken to the vet after his owner noticed a dodgy rattling sound coming from his pup. The problem? 13 golf balls in his stomach from all the walks he'd been on alongside a local course....

Golf is a mystery

Looks like it's time to get Columbo on the case at Pipestone Links GC, Alberta. Hugh Lloyd, 56, was one of the course's workers and was found dead in a water hazard, pinned mysteriously beneath one of the track's lawnmowers. Subs prices must have gone down there we reckon...

Golf is more important than football (Part 76)

Imagine how great being offered a managment contract at Barcelona would be.

That's the spirit, Ron...

Golf and porn don't mix (Part, er, er...one)

Forty-year-old Garth Stirrat used to be chief executive of the New Zealand Professional Golf Association before being recently appointed as head of the country's Hotel Council. The poor sod's lost his job there, however, after the board discovered he'd been in a porn movie and appeared in an X-rated mag. At least he's got a career to fall back on...

Golf clubs make great weapons (Part 259)

We'd never condone violence here at IGWT, but we can't deny that sand wedges and seven irons are particularly useful in the face of danger. Thirty-year-old Shannon Thornton was clearly thinking along the same wavelength as us when she threatened to kill her boyfriend on Saturday night with a golf club.

It's been a good weekend Colombia

IGWT fave Camilo Villegas finally got a PGA Tour win under his dapper belt at the BMW Championship, and it was about bleedin' time too. And we picked him to win it as well, which was nice for our bank balances. There's much, much more to come from Cam...
