Man who plays golf every day at same time, tries to play through a Missouri HS school xc meet (video)

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say a bunch of runners interrupted a guy's golf round? It's a golf course and he was there first. If he were to start hitting golf balls onto the track or a running trail, then the runners would have a point.

Lol, he doesn’t do well under pressure.

Anything how thinks cross country is running on a golf course, doesn’t really understand cross country, golf course cross country is a joke of a run

Some kid should have taken him out.

Anyone who thinks golf is golfing on a cross country course, doesn’t really understand golf, cross country course golf is a joke of a golf.

What a legend, love it

This is a private course. I'd be willing to bet this dude had a serious problem with the club being used for this race and this was his form of protest. On one hand if it were me, I'd completely agree. Keep cross country races to public golf courses. On the other hand, once it's been decided the race will be held there, get the hell out of the way and go join another club.

The XC race clearly had the permission of the course owners so the golfer is in the wrong here. If there had been a golf tournament going on that day, would he have insisted on playing (assuming he had not registered for it)?

No, that's not how it works. I am going to assume the XC race had the permission of the course owner/management to be there so it was a sanctioned activity. So "he was there first" does not matter.

If the course had been closed for a golf tournament and that golfer was not in the tournament, would you be okay with him being a "bandit"? (You will probably say yes since you are cowardly and hide behind a screen name.)

You have the same problem on HS XC courses that occur at a high school. Especially the meets that have 200+ kids in 6 different races.

The football and soccer teams who scheduled practice that day just walk through the race, stopping and basically being your typical fball and soccer morons. Ive seen fights with parents of the xc runners and either the athletes themselves or their coaches. I've seen some parents knock down coach or athletes after they blocked their kids during the race.

YOu'll see this this weekend at the Maryland XC Invitational. Equestrian riders are setting up their course which they do every weekend and it is right in the middle of the race course. Its a crap race anyway and nothing more than a money grab for the for profit timers.

Can we get the guy's address and send him one of these?

Golf Courses are for Runners

Love them or hate them, golf courses are for runners during XC season. Here's to tearing up your local country club. .: 100% Airlume combed and ringspun cotton (fiber content may vary for different colors).: Light fabric (4.2...

Keep in mind that this is a rural town of 3,000 in an isolated part of Missouri. I'm certain there is no other feasible place to run a meet in that little town.

I'd imagine most folks there appreciate the fact that the local country club allowed their school to host a meet on the country club grounds. And I cannot imagine how a local guy wouldn't know about the event.

Takes up part of one Saturday morning... one day a year. Apparently that is too much of an inconvenience for this guy. LOL.

If he plays every day and is still that bad, time for a new hobby

I sure hope this was the first year the meet tried to use this course, because otherwise how would this have not come up before? Maybe the guy just started golfing here this past year and has stubbornly decided this is his tee time no matter what?

Either way, maybe the meet takes the hint that this site was not a good choice, and uses another course next time.

Sort of funny posting that to a message board where a good number of people here run every day (or close to it) and are still bad at it.

Maybe there are limited options in that place?

Why would anyone want to play golf at the same course every day in the first place? That's like playing the same level of the same video game every day. Seems like a little variety would be a good thing.

That would only serve to show a guy who was trying to annoy runners that he had bigly succeeded.
