Angel Cabrera not only golfer on fire
Thursday, June 21, 2007
There's a reason I'm Doctor Dribbles and not, say, Professor Pars-a-lot (my uncontrollable bladder is not that reason). Quite frankly, if I play a round of golf, I'm not just hitting the ball off the green and into the rough--my course is the rough, with a few sand traps thrown in.
Thus, it's with a sense of sympathy and just a bit of schadenfreude, that I read about the golfer who hit into dry grass--and burned 20 acres trying to get out.
A wayward golf shot and the resulting chip from tall, dry grass sparked a brush fire near a Reno golf course. Fire officials say when [the golfer] tried to play back to the fairway, his club struck something that created a spark and touched off the blaze.Sounds believable enough...except for the mysterious "something" that touched off the blaze. Could it be, perhaps, 1) a pyromaniac 2)with a lighter and 3) a terrible Emo soundtrack?
