The lesson here is that you should never go several weeks without playing golf!!

That banana should have been found within days

WHIP IT!

Exact same thing happened me with a few Jaffa Cakes a few years back. Lining on the inside of the bag stuck to the grips n all so ripped when I pulled a club out!

I still love Jaffa Cakes though

There's your problem there

similar thing happened me - was trying to be healthy so brought 2 bananas and a few oranges with me a few weeks ago. Forgot all about them. Thankfully they were in a sealed bag cause they turned into black liquid. Still can't get the smell out though

Sweets / biscuits from now on!!

This does not apply in Headfort. I got a snickers bar in the pro shop, left it in my bag, only for a crow to open the zip on my bag and enjoy his chocolate lunch on top of the clubhouse. Apparently this is a regular occurrence there. Beware you have been warned!

I gave a spare set of clubs I had to a mate of mine a couple of months back. I got them back and went out playing with my brother and a mate of his a couple of weeks later. We were getting sorted on the first tee grabbing balls, tees and a ball marker. So my brothers mate puts his hand in the side pocket of the spare set which I'd given to my mate. He pulls out his hand and it's got luminous blue mould all over it, I mean like neon blue hahaha. A box of chicken wings from the deli left in the pocket for 3-4 weeks. Some way to start a round

Stag weekend golf trip....the stag is in the proshop so we pour a can of Coke into his bag (bag is off practice putting green so no evidence). Half way down the first fairway the expletives start as his grips were so sticky!

It was a stag weekend and we could all barely walk anyway from the night before! The stag only plays golf the odd time and actually founf it funny. There was a lot worse to come for the poor fella

Nothing like that in fairness. Just funny stuff... towards the end of the night we managed to tie one of his shoe laces to the stool he was sitting on in the pub. It was hilarious to see him try and head to the Mens!

About 4 of us (not too many!) texted him on the last morning thanking him for offerring to pick up the accomodation tab. He was a quiet boy at breakfast.

The only upside to this if someone did it to me would be that the grip of my six-iron would taste slightly sweeter for them as it passed down their throat.

Guys...this was a stag party many moons ago. None of us (including the stag) played golf regularly enough nor took it seriously at the time. He had cheap clubs (as well all did) and it was just a bit of fun.

Quite right, those bananas can be costly. A friend of mine hit a good drive, and the ball rolled off to the right of the fairway. When he got to the ball he noticed that it was sitting on a banana skin. He applied the rule, but by doing so he lost the hole and his quarter-final match. For 'pig-iron', what was the rule!!:)

Myksyk

Declare it unplayable. One stroke penalty. He could have just played it which may have been a better option as he could probably progress it further along than a drop but that's a judgement call. Normally he could move a loose impediment like this but mustn't move the ball in so doing (one stroke penalty and replace) so he was caught.

Uncle Ben

Spot on, he attempted to remove the loose impediment and the ball rolled, and one shot penalty.
