When Awkward Happens - Golf Course

July 11th, 2008 by Mitch Martin · 2 Comments · 5 Views

Nothing is more awkward than being the groundskeeper that heads out and waters the golf course with a tank full of industrial strength weed killer.

Fairways are usually sprayed with a light weed killer, but last month the turf was thoroughly watered with a solution of industrial-strength Gallup 360 - a systemic herbicide designed for the drying out or “desiccation” of grassland.

Apparently the Haywards Heath Golf Club which opened in 1922 was in the best condition it had been in in years, before the weed killer of course. I don’t know much about building golf courses but I have to imagine it will take months possibly years before the course recovers. This is like the ultimate revenge after getting fired not something that you do on accident.

    On one hand I hate to see the grass destroyed, on the other hand f*ck golfers.

    Hmm. How to decide….
