“My Life as a Golf Marshall” ; Tales From the Edge”:BIRDSLAUGHTER

There is a problem at the golf course I marshall at and that is the proliferation of Canada Geese on and surrounding the green on the third hole in the spring months. Bird poop is everywhere.

“My Life as a Golf Marshall” : Tales from the Edge :THE PUTTING GREEN POOPER

You gotta go you gotta go. We have all faced this dilemma and have pooped where we never thought we would poop. Rather a bad reaction to Mexican food in Cancun or with Portuguese chicken in Toronto. Hopefully not caught on CCTV. But a groundskeeper at my course told me he started his shift earlyContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall” : Tales from the Edge :THE PUTTING GREEN POOPER”

“My Life as A Golf Marshall” : Tales From the Edge :THE HOOKERS ( Not Slicers)

I asked the starter at my club what was the weirdest thing he had seen. Apparently two men brought hookers into their golf cart. The hookers had their green fees paid for but were not golfing. However on a few occasion the men with their lady friends went into the woods looking for their ballsContinue reading ““My Life as A Golf Marshall” : Tales From the Edge :THE HOOKERS ( Not Slicers)”

“My Life as a Golf Marshall”: Tales from the Edge: KOREAN WAR VETERAN LOSES HIS LEG

One golfer told me when he was a teen golfing with his brother the brother hit a massive drive hitting a golfer in the back that sent the poor man violently sprawling into the creek and his prosthetic leg also came off. Not a great way to treat a war vet.

“My Life as a Golf Marshall” : Strange Stories from the Edge: GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF US

A starter at my course and formerly a Marshall related an interesting story to me in the days when he was marshalling. There were four individuals on the golf course praying on a bridge.

He alerted them to theContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall” : Strange Stories from the Edge: GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF US”

“My Life as a Golf Marshall”: Stories From the Edge :THE NAKED STONED GOLFER

The police were called and tookContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall”: Stories From the Edge :THE NAKED STONED GOLFER”

“My Life as a Golf Marshall”: True Stories from the Edge : THE FISHERMAN:

I was marshalling and there were two foursomes of thirty somethings playing their annual tournament. I told them my spotting someone fishing on the 4th hole. One of the golfer’s eye’s lit up and he said I have to show you something. He unzips his golf bag and shows me his mini fishing rod. ThenContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall”: True Stories from the Edge : THE FISHERMAN:”

My Life as a Golf Marshall: True Stories: SVEN THE ASSHOLE:A Bullet to the Head:

The golfer, (we will discuss Mr. Lunch later) who pleaded me to take him to his car for his medicine a.k.a. his lunch told me an awful story about Sven. Mr. Lunch was on the green on a par three and Sven let one fly from the tee box which is a no no. YouContinue reading “My Life as a Golf Marshall: True Stories: SVEN THE ASSHOLE:A Bullet to the Head:”

“My Life as a Golf Marshall” :“Your Marshalling Style”

There is nothing like marshalling that often draws out the extrovert out of the introvert. Most golfers are devout adherents to the sport and love chatting about all things golf. Having the golfers know you are marshalling to keep the flow steady is important and I think it generates more respect than herding them likeContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall” :“Your Marshalling Style””
