Default Golf Ball Snatcher

Yesterday morning I hit a screamer down the left side of the fairway at Bacall #9but unfortunately it hit a sprinkler head and bounced high in the air and rolled into the gutter on Canal Street Amazingly, a passing car stopped dead in the middle of the road, a woman jumped out, snagged the ball, and headed back to her car. I yelled at her, she stopped in her tracks, looked at her husband, looked at me, and dropped the ball back into the street. Meanwhile, two cars had stopped behind them. She jumped back out of the car, snagged the ball, horns were honking, and we yelled again. This time she tossed the ball up onto the golf course, jumped in her car, and they took off. I got to my ball, properly repositioned it, and put it on the green. Only in The Villages.......LOL
