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.

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

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.

Not as close as he was.

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!

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

Default My view of the subject.

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.

OP's problem has been presented and responses are straying off topic.

Don't you mean "shriveled, old snakes"? (I am assuming he was no longer in his forties...)
