My receint experience with helpful golf course people happened a few weeks ago. My street was being repaved and I couldn't get through as all traffic was being detoured. So, rather than going from Morse B'lvd around to Avenida Central, I decided to take a short cut around Hacienda Hills/Oaks golf course. I found a curb cut and proceeded to ride along the right flank of the course. I was doing fine but instead of staying on the rough side of the course and on to the cart path I looked down the fairway saw no golfers and decided to shorten my ride. I would just make a left, go across the fairway and be home in a minute. Instead I wound up stuck in a small unseen mud hole. I was unable to get the cart out by myself ,but along came a foursome and decided to help. They tried to push me out by hand w/o results and were slowly getting covered with mud.I'll try to shorten this tale just by saying they got my cart out (one golfer had a tow rope) but they were all covered in mud and would not accept any clean clothes from me. I felt so bad as I watched them finish the hole and drive off with a cart and clothing covered in mud. Love golfers.
