Who knew that a golf course was a place for the feds to gather crucial intel to crack a case? After thinking about it, a golf course has definitely been a place where deals are struck...legal or not. At a recent get together, a retired fed I know (we'll call him Fred, the...fed) told us quite the interesting story about an unnamed "family" member they followed on a local track.
Here's how it was set up. The mobster they were watching had a 9 or 10 o'clock tee time. Somehow the feds were able to get a twosome to tee-off right before and a twosome to tee-off right behind this guy. I could only imagine how they made those tee times. Mind you this was a pretty exclusive course.
Moving forward, they all tee off and start working their way around. As they are observing the perp they couldn't help but notice that this guy is absolutely tearing up the course. He eagles two holes on the front nine and almost aces a par 3. Fred radios back to the trailing group "I almost feel bad for this guy, he's probably shooting the round of his life and little does he know it's all about to end." One of the agents radio back "Screw him! I got 4 snowmen and I broke my putter!"
You know, I feel a lot better knowing our taxes are going to helping these guys improve their golf game. It must be nice...
Hit'em long...yell FORE!!!
