I've seen it all.....literally!!

[Happinow]

I am at a loss for words. Yesterday, while looking out my
Lanai onto the golf course, what do you think I saw??? A golfer, on our side of the pompous grass, urinating. Yup, you heard it right. He was just on the other side of our property relieving himself. My jaw dropped. I yelled to my husband and he couldn't believe it. I ran outback ( by that time he was back on the tee) and yelled " excuse me, but you can't do that. The bathroom is right there". He yelled back "forget about it". I said "that's disgusting and if you can't use the rest room you shouldn't be on the golf course". He just walked away. I reported him to the manager of the country club. They said they would look out for him when he comes back and speak to him. He should be barred from playing for a while. Has anyone else witnessed this kind of behavior??

[mulligan]

If only you had a camera. A posted picture would do wonders.

[gerryann]

:eek: :eek::eek: Yikes!!

You must not play much golf with the "boys". :smiley:

I'm sorry to be laughing so hard right now but I can't help it! Your hubby must be a saint and you must not have any sons! Oh, to be so lucky to be a male and have the ability to go at the exact moment you need to go! Oh, what a relief it is! :1rotfl:

[2 Oldcrabs]

One reason we did not spend an extra 100K to be on a Golf Course. There are several. But the view is nice!:popcorn:

[paulandjean]

Oh Well, This is not the first well and not the last. Things happen.The older you get things just happen. If it happened at the square then it would be a problem.

[NotGolfer]

Puts new meaning to house with a view!!

Some folks have no "fetching up" is all I can say!!

[rubicon]

You can ignore reality and have it work against you or you can embrace it and have it work for you.

I am not surprised of anything that happens here. However you have some residents that have gulped so much of the kool-aid that they actually believe this development is a mystic land where only good things happen. I feel very badly for them because when a crime occurs, an accident, a dump stunt, a rude person, an illness , etc they seem unprepared and find it inconceivable.

Factually you have roughly 100,00 people from around the world living in a very tight space and coming together on a daily basis. So the "Friendliest Hometown in Florida" motto is just a myth, get over it. If you have been paying attention even Disneyworld has many disastrous and scandalous events

:agree::agree:We had three boys and of course the biggest kid of them all, me. It's certainly not right but I don't think you will find a male that hasn't taken advantage of the tools the good lord gave them for a little releif in an emergency

Both of you are right. And I am not going to take your posts personally because you are right and I like you both.

However. I have NEVER peed on the golf course. So MY conscience is clear.:D:angel:

[CWGUY]

Just a couple of quick questions on golf etiquette...

1. ;) Should one remove their golf glove first?

2. :yuck: If you witness a member of your group do this, is it okay to not shake hands after the round?

Answer

1) A right handed golfer wears his glove on his left hand leaving his right hand free for other things.

2) Instead of shaking hands a fist bump would be appropriate in this case.

[blueash]

I think the problem was that you have pompous grass. Perhaps he objected to its haughty demeanor. Or perhaps he was a pompous ass. Can't hold your urine for 5 holes on a golf course? Is there a solution to that problem? Depends.

[Josie70]

Don't jump all over me for saying what I am about to say.......We see dogs doing the same thing all the time.......No repect for others people's property......

A "dump stunt"? Hope I never witness that one! LOL!

[mrsanborn]

Probably someone that has moved from the north and misses writing their name in the snow.

[Bobcuse]

Omg....these are the funniest responses I have seen all on the same post. Some of you, maybe all of you, missed your calling. Letterman or Leno would pay you major money for these comments!

Wow - you are on form today Rubicon - I believe this is your second zinger of the day!

[Pturner]

Um... why do you think there is never a line for the men's bathroom. :popcorn:

WHERE IS SWIMDAWG WITH HER AWARD???:a040:

[coolkayaker1]

Can you or the corse remove the pompous grass? Maybe the next full bladdered duffer will then relieve himself in your neighbors pompous grass.

[coolkayaker1]

I suppose it could be worse. Look what happened in the Village of Hemingway!!

Mailman Poops On Yard (BUZZFEED.com) - YouTube

[Yorio]

One of my golf partners would say "I have to call my broker" and heads for the trees. Guess we can do this up north because trees are more mature up there?These days more houses are built around the golf courses. I could be wrong but I noticed less golfers going to the trees at a private club than at public courses. Wonder if golfers call on brokers at Augusta.

[gerryann]

No active "poop" threads going on......Is this turning into a "pee" thread.....

[mickhugs]

You may have to call in a sketch artist

[Jim 9922]

Next time have your garden hose ready and give him a squirt back!:boxing2:

[quirky3]

Or get one of those motion-activated sprinklers and aim it at the most likely spot for pee-petrators to go.

[Joaniesmom]

Why are some of us so tolerant of golfers peeing on the course and intolerant of little dogs peeing on the grass. Don't want to start another dog poop controversy here but grown men peeing on the golf course, to me, is just disgusting.

Like I told my toddlers, "Let's go to the bathroom before we go out anywhere."

[Patty55]

I so agree. I've been laughing my head off going through these posts, as I relay the responses to my spouse, the golfer.

[gatherer47]

A friend of mine once had both hands in a cast.Everytime he had to pee,he found out who his true friends were.

[Patty55]

I would be concerned that since that one guy "marked his turf" all the "top peers" will be around doing their thing.

[Pturner]

Hmmm... can you imagine their surprise to be surrounded by the TOTV Girls Posse. :popcorn:

[gerryann]

Be thankful you didn't have a fancy luncheon going on in your lanai...he may have been the entertainment.

[Trish Crocker]

I really don't think he started out by saying "forget the men's room..I'm gonna pee in her yard"...Maybe he had no choice and really, really had to go. It probably embarassed the heck out of him when he realized you saw him. I wouldn't worry about it, as others have said, dogs pee outside as do squirrels, rabbits, racoons, possum, feral cats, chipmunks, skunks, etc..
...and fish pee in the water. I don't think a little human pee is going to really mess up the eco system.

[skyguy79]

That could lead to his peeing sent... er, I mean being sent to a Penal Colony!

The whole foursome probably lined up at the restroom and well when ya gotta go....

[2BNTV]

!. There is no pee in Lake Sumter, it's on the golf course. :jester:

2. It gives new meaning to the sports axiom playing of, "letting it all hang out". :jester:

[coolkayaker1]

I think a pellet rifle filled with salt rock will solve the entire issue for you.

And it takes care of stray dogs, too.

[teachnmo]

Your article states the video is from The Village of Hemingway. Due to the view of houses, wire gates, garbage cans, etc. I highly doubt this.

Still the mailman, even if in duress, should have located a more appropriate place. Perhaps the man would have let him use his bathroom????

Once again, my never ending question? Do you even live here? Have you ever been here?

Hate to break it to you, but I would qualify that as assault.

[Jim 9922]

That might be enough to scare him into a different type of accident. Euweeeee!!%%#!:a040::faint: Yuck.

[FMF Doc]

Well, if you got a real good look and could identify the squirter in question they could call in all the male golfers for the day and you could find the culprit. Sort of like the scene in the movie Porky's.

[Patty55]

My solution to the OP.

DON'T LOOK

[coolkayaker1]

Once again, my never ending question? Do you even live here?lt.

Salt rock works the same inThe Villages as it does elsewhere

[surfergirlov]

then we could all go visit the convicted felon in the jailhouse. Great idea!!!!

Unless he had enough "gas" left to shoot back.

For what it's worth, original poster, the golfer broke the law. Public urination is illegal. To do it on your private property is trespassing, indecent exposure and illegal public urination.

The majority of the replies on here are in jest, but in reality, you have a perfectly valid complaint. How disheartening to find a man relieving himself in your backyard.

You did the right thing in calling the Clubhouse. You might want to, if its on your property, cut down the pompous grass so " the lizards no longer have a place to hide".

If its more than a one time occurrence ( e.g. If your home is just far enough from the tiki bar and the men's room), you should take it up, personally, with the Clubhouse manager in his office.

The off-hand disrespectful remark from the offender to you, I'm sure, is equally as hurtful as his disrespect for you're property.

Perhaps fellow TVers have other ideas about preventing this in the future for you. It might help to know where your home is located relative to the greens, etc. in brainstorming this for you.

[Patty55]

I am no longer indulging in a battle of wits with the unarmed.:spoken:

[Tracker]

How far away were you from your hose?

[Patty55]

Word police here...

I believe it is Pampas Grass.

Could be pompous if it is self-absorded and condescending. Hey, just saying.

Absolutely, after I stopped laughing over the comments, I realized that I never emphathized with the poster. I'd be pi**ed too. (perhaps the wrong choice of words). This behavior might be more common than non-golfers realize, but should not be tolerated in a community where homes surround the courses.

[Patty55]

How far away were you from your hose?


Not as close as he was.

[gomoho]

This is probably the funniest and best thread yet, but Happinow I understand you concern and it would bother me too, but there are some seriously funny comments here!

[shcisamax]

How far away were you from your hose?

I think the concern is more his hose, not theirs.

[graciegirl]

You can't win a ****ing contest.

It may be why people move onto a golf course lot and move off of a golf course lot.

We have lived on golf courses for 40 years and nothing surprises me. HOWEVER it was ONE golf course. You would know if it was a member or not.

Of all of the things that can happen in life, I would classify this as annoying rather than AWFUL.

We should have shown more compassion to Happinow.

It is Pompous if you are from Boston, Patty.

It takes all kinds to make a world and it is probably better to laugh than to cry.

It depends on your value system and your sense of humor as to how you view this.

I am sorry that Happinow was subjected to rude and selfish peeing in her public view. AND the least the guy could do is apologize. I bet he won't pee THERE again.
