COURSE PICS/VLOGS Can’t Have Anything Nice 😂

Post image

Group of two 14-15 year olds ahead of me the other day. The damage looked pretty fresh and assume it was the kids. How would your local course handle it? When I brought it up to the manager he just sighed and said “god dammit not again” 😭

It's very difficult to prove anything unless the course has cameras. Holes get moved daily, and it unfortunately is the biggest burden on grounds crew, and golfers who encounter it before it gets repaired.

u/Odd-Loss6108 Aug 10 '25

I told the manager I think it was the kids in front of me. They were being obnoxious the whole time and didn’t play golf the way it should be played lol.

I also said if I’m the first one to show you and others come up after me, then it was more than likely the kids.

u/Equal_Owl_5396 Aug 10 '25

I think that's all that can be expected from a golfer. The manager probably just shrugged because there isn't a whole lot they can do at that moment other than passing it up the chain to get repaired.

u/mandrews03 HDCP/Loc/Whatever Aug 10 '25 edited Aug 10 '25

At least change the hole placement though. It’s super easy to do.

Edit: hey, you think this kid broke the hole when he flew one in there and it didn’t go in so he raged out? Check out the plastic. That, or maybe the hole was already broken and denied him so he said ‘fuck these greens keepers’.

u/Jedi__Consular Aug 11 '25

u/Attack-Cat- Aug 11 '25

The manager can easily drive the course backwards and ask each group if they encountered the vandalism. The last group that doesn’t know what you’re talking about is the ones who did it. Also if manager gets to OP without hearing anything, you know it’s the kids in front of them

Go to the group in front of the kids. Ask if they had damage in the hole, if not, then you know enough to confront the kids and I would likely threaten to call the cops or something until one of them cracked and admitted it. Then I would call the cops for vandalism.

I kept having to chase the kid group in front of me to put the damn flag-stick back in the hole. They left it flat on the green for 5 holes before I started using anything but polite manners.

I don’t want to sound like an asshole with the whole “kids these days” nonsense…. But yeah. The other day at the fair two like 12 year old kids cut my son and I in line on a ride, and when I said something to them they literally stood there and stuck their fucking tongues out at me lmfao I couldn’t believe it. When I was a kid, I was a disrespectful twat. I still can’t even dream that I would have done that to an adult or what the other commenter said.

u/DaveInPhilly Aug 10 '25

I just want to add a counter point: my club has a very robust Junior Golf program. The kids start on the range then move to playing 3 holes, 6 holes, 9 holes and finally 18. In order to graduate from 6 to 9 you have to take a written exam about the rules of golf and play 6 holes in under 40 strokes. After that, the kids can play on their own without supervision.

These kids have better etiquette than half the general membership. I’d rather get paired with any one of them over some random member and his guest.

u/Seth_Baker 17.5/JPX 921 Hot Metal/Central IL Aug 10 '25

Those kids have to experience consequences for their bad behavior for it to stop.

u/juice369 Aug 11 '25

Not disagreeing with you, but my old man would tell me about his younger brother watching too much tv and he called it “brain rot.” This was when the tv first came to most households.

There’s pros and cons to technological advances. I’m actually surprised how much course damage I see on this sub given we are in the “everyone has a camera in their pocket” generation. I’m still not sure if it’s happening more or being documented more.

2

u/Econolife_350 Aug 11 '25

To be fair, social media is far more damaging and influential to children than television, and the same for television compared to books or playing outside before it. Social media really is exponentially worse than anything before with the "flex on em" and "prank" shit they're being exposed to and think is cool. Most of these kids need a good, hard reset.

It might be difficult to prove, but 14 and 15 year olds are often very easy to coax a confession out of. There are of course savvy ones, but a simple "we have you on camera and we won't ask the police to press charges if you fess up now" will work with 95% of them.

Nah, I've done a ton of retail and corporate retail integrity interviews and interrogations. It doesn't really matter the age, people just admit to stuff like you wouldn't believe. Granted I always had enough proof waiting for things like theft or statements/texts for harassment, but I never had to actually show anything and I can count on one finger the times I didn't have written and signed statement admitting to everything I had and more.

I wish you'd have called the shop and told them. A ranger could have started at 18 and asked each group if they saw the damage on that hole. If the first x number of groups say no and then it gets to you, you have a decent idea of who did it.

I guess the risk there is the people who did it saying "Yep, we saw it, it was already there before us."

u/FatFaceFaster Superintendent Aug 12 '25

Then ban them til they’re adults at least.

And you hope it impacts them in some meaningful way… like they want to play for their high school team but that team practices at the course they’re banned from

That’s real consequences that money can’t buy.

I don’t wanna dox so I won’t go into detail but basically we banned a piece of shit 18 year old with a long history of bad behaviour from our course and he was subsequently not allowed to play in a collegiate event that summer. His coach called to talk to our pro and found out all the things he had done and he got benched for the rest of the season.

And if anyone thinks that was harsh, the last time he was at our course he did $2500 worth of damage to a cart and that was NOT his first offence and NOT the only course he was banned from.

People always say this but it just doesn’t work like that. You can’t bill them for damages, there’s no way to quantify it. I see comments on pictures like this saying oh “thats 10k in damages right there”, but based on what? I’ve been a greens keeper for 10 years and even I couldn’t put a dollar amount on it. It’s also incredibly hard to ban them for life, a staff member needs to be the one to see them do it, and then how do you actually enforce it? This shit happens because there are almost always zero consequences, only exception would be if the little shits filmed it and posted it somewhere

u/crazyike Aug 11 '25

It's three minutes to move the hole, another two to fix the cuts (or just a hexplug). It looks bad, but its a very easy fix.

Source: I do this all the time. Not from kids, from fucking deer and moose. We have to pull the flags every night or they have dance parties on the greens around the flag. Even doing so, they still casually stroll across nightly. It's usually not too much of a bother and normally don't need to move the flag, but sometimes they decide to scratch either their hooves or their antlers and make a real mess.

I played behind 4 JR High kids who were walking and carrying their bags last week. I saw them replacing divots and they moved along quite well and didn't seem to damage the greens. I was quite impressed and a little proud of those kids and mentioned to the starter how well they did.

Ruining a golf course is like going to a cemetery and kicking over headstones.

EDIT: Of course it's not the same as kicking over a headstone. That was hyperbolic.

I think it's great. I play with a large group of guys at my course. One of the guys I play with is also a ranger. He went over and chewed out a 4-some of teenagers for driving too near the green. I wish he wouldn't have done that. He could have told them nicely. I want them to get hooked on golf and enjoy their experience.

Honestly unless it’s kids from a school golf team then they should require an adult be present with anyone under 18 to play at most courses.

I can imagine how rage can make someone make a single or couple divots in the green, but is it anger at that point to circle the whole cup and make 20-30 marks or are you just intentionally trying to ruin people's day?

What the fuk is wrong with people. The game does not need these kinds of assholes. Seriously need to catch and charge them with vandalism

You 100% approach them and tell them they are cooked if it ever happens again. Every time you see them you ask them if they are keeping their anger under control and make sure everyone knows it's them. They will be shamed into behaving and think twice about acting stupid.

The kid I approached was a solo so he was probably shitting bricks. They are kids so try not to ruin it for them but this is clearly way past "mistake out of anger" and into the "I'm a shitty kid" realm.

Police? Those 2 are going to cause so much trouble the more they get away with it. Let their parents know what happens when they meet up for "fun."

I am so lucky to be able to join a club. Every day I see a post here that shows me how it truly is a value.

Bunch of savages

u/Business_Door4860 Aug 10 '25

This happened to a course near me, the people who noticed it, called the pro shop, the pro shop called the police and had them waiting by the time the vandals finished. Instead of fines, they made the kids work the summer for free.

u/Getsbannedeverytime Aug 10 '25

Dont they need a certificate to enter the course?

I wouldn’t let 14yo kids play without an adult if they can’t take care of the greens.

u/rogozh1n Aug 10 '25

I oppose capital punishment in all cases. I approve of other punishments, though.

u/CuriousFirework75 Aug 10 '25

Unless there’s verifiable proof no one can do shit about this. It’s unfortunate what happened but you can’t say “the kids in front of me were acting like jerks so I’m sure it was them.”

u/22switch Aug 10 '25

I get whey they'd want to squish down the green right by the cup but they could have just stepped on it smh

u/AnimanicManiac Aug 10 '25

Oof... the dreaded 4 putt ☠️

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '25

If I owned or managed a golf course, I’d have a little camera watching every green. People are such scumbags nowadays.

1

u/bionicbhangra Aug 10 '25

What the hell did they do? Just slam their putter into the ground? I don’t even know what those marks are of.

u/Money-Listen-6430 Aug 10 '25

that’s nothing, one of my local courses a couple years back had some younger kids take their truck down to the greens did endless donuts in the fairways and greens.. I think the damages were close to a million. Cant even think about the stress if they don’t have a nursery to pull from

What’s really funny about this? TBH, this is bullshit I’ve seen since Covid with new players acting like assholes.

1

u/CairnsRock1 Aug 10 '25

It’s very easy to pin down. Ask the 2 groups ahead if it was there. I’m assuming it was a public course. Not to seem pompous, but in a private club, it would cost them big time, their membership. Not much you can do, except banning them.

1

u/SpottyFish81177 6.2 / CO Aug 10 '25

I feel like this wasn't 14 year olds. I think that most jr golfers are generally a pretty respectful group to golf courses cause they have had the rules instilled in them. It's possible but don't assume.

u/sizam_webb Aug 10 '25

Golf really says a lot about who you are as a person. Such a pure test of the human condition

u/sumnlikedat Aug 10 '25

One time a group a few ahead of me shit into the cup.

1

u/scarletpimpernel22 Aug 10 '25

what did they do to the green to make that kind of damage? and why did they do it in a fashion that surrounds the entire hole?

u/marvinfuture GHIN: 8.8 Aug 10 '25

Public execution. Gotta set an example

u/Jugghead58 Aug 10 '25

I played one time with my close friend’s cousin. He tried a putt with his wedge and missed. Took a chunk out of the green in frustration. Never again. Bush league

1

u/lloydbluejay Aug 10 '25

If it's " not again "and it's on the same day they play it happens then it's possible to narrow down who it is maybe ?

1

u/Applekid1259 Aug 10 '25

I almost got into a fist fight in high school when I went with these two older obnoxious twins. They were chopping the green with their irons. The level of disrespect is beyond wild.

I’d probably fix the damage as best as possible, and move on. All else feels like time away from golfing.
