There Are Calls For Golfer To Receive Lifetime Ban After Inexcusable Behavior
There are plenty of unwritten rules when it comes to the game of golf. That being said, players shouldn't have to be told to take care of the green.
Over the years, countless people have shared their biggest pet peeves about golf etiquette. Earlier this year, Paige Spiranac revealed that nothing "grinds her gears more" than golfers who refuse to fill their divot on the course.
"The grounds crew wakes up at the butt crack of dawn to make sure this golf course is in pristine condition for you to just duff it around," Spiranac said. "The least you can do is fill your divot and fix your ball mark. And with pace of play we know you got time to not only fix one, but 10 more. The golf gods are looking down at you going, 'Wow, I'll remember that.' The next time your drive is flying out of bounds, it's going to stop right in front of it because you have good golf karma now. So remember that and don't be an [expletive]. Caring for the golf course is not only good for you, it's good for everyone on the golf course and the grounds crew."
Although she hasn't commented on it yet, Spiranac would hate the latest golf video that's going viral.
Two days ago, NUCLR GOLF shared a video of a young golfer destroying the green simply because he missed a putt. It was the type of tantrum you'd never expect to see on the golf course.
Once this video went viral, countless fans made it clear they want this golfer to be banned for life.
"There's no excuse for that behavior - it wasn't the putter, the green or the ball's fault - the kid should be banned for life .. NO RESPECT FOR THE GAME," one person said after seeing this video.
"Got the picture of the idiot. Know the Course. He plays. Got his playing partner. Fine him big time for destroying public property and never let him play again," a second person wrote on X.
"Yes, anyone who damages the lawn without any reason should be banned for life," a third person commented.
"It wasn't like he hit a decent putt and it just missed. Even then, what he did was totally uncalled for. It was a heinous act," another person said.
"The golf course operators should have called police to have him charged with vandalism," a social media user added.
This golfer's identity has not been revealed at this time. We're also not sure which course was destroyed in this video.
All we know is behavior like this is truly unacceptable.

Flight diverted after skateboard-waving drunk passenger yelled racial slurs, police say
A Los Angeles-bound flight was diverted to Colorado after a drunk passenger started yelling racist slurs while waving around a skateboard, police said. Breeze Airlines flight MX704 — flying from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles — landed in Grand Junction Airport in Colorado around 11.15 a.m. Wednesday after an intoxicated male passenger 'became agitated, yelling racist slurs at airline staff while waving a skateboard,' Grand Junction Police said. Airline staff put the passenger in restraints twice but he was able to break free both times. He didn't physically assault anyone and no injuries were reported, police said. When the flight touched down, police were called to assist with an 'unruly passenger,' authorities said. The man was then taken into custody at the direction of the FBI and transported to the Mesa County Detention Facility. David Leroy Carter Jr., 46, of Los Angeles, was arrested, the FBI told The Independent. It's not immediately clear what charges he may face. The U.S. Attorney's Office for Colorado would announce the charges at an appropriate time, the agency said. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to police. The Independent has asked the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for more information. 'The plane was met promptly by local law enforcement officers, who restrained and removed the passenger from the aircraft,' Breeze Airways said in a statement. The flight was delayed in Grand Junction while a new crew was brought in to fly the remaining passengers to LAX, the airline said. The passengers arrived at their final destination around 7.15 p.m. local time. This year, there have been reports of more than 1,000 unruly passengers, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. That figure marks a dramatic drop from 2021, when the FAA received a whopping 5,973 reports of unruly passengers.

Former Denver Nuggets mascot sues ownership group for disability discrimination
A former Denver Nuggets mascot is speaking out after filing a lawsuit against the team's ownership group, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), alleging disability discrimination and an unlawful severance offer. Drake Solomon, who portrayed the Nuggets' mascot Rocky from 2021 until this past season, claims he was wrongfully terminated after undergoing double hip replacement surgery. His father had performed as Rocky for more than 30 years before Solomon took over the role. Solomon says the lawsuit is not only for himself, but also on behalf of other KSE employees who, since the 2023 passage of Colorado's POWR Act (Protecting Opportunities and Workers' Rights), have allegedly been offered similar unlawful agreements. "I was on the court at 2-weeks-old," Solomon told CBS Colorado. During the NBA team's 2023 championship run, Solomon says he was diagnosed with a painful bone condition that impacted his ability to perform. After notifying supervisors that he would need surgery, Solomon alleges the organization began tryouts for his replacement, citing a lack of confidence in his health. "It came to a point where I was on the court shooting a half-court shot with tears dripping down my face," Solomon recalled. "It's hard thinking about those times. I really wanted to bring the same energy." After surgery, Solomon says he felt ready to return but never got the chance. "For it to end this way, it feels like betrayal," Solomon said. "We were so loyal to them." Solomon says he was offered $20,000 and a non-disclosure agreement as part of his severance agreement. He refused. "It seemed sketchy to me," Solomon explained. "I wasn't going to sign that." Attorneys say the agreement violated nearly every provision of the POWR Act. Solomon believes other employees were offered similar deals. Despite everything, Solomon says he still loves the Nuggets and its fans. He's now seeking a trial in hopes of holding KSE accountable and protecting future employees. "Never wanted things to go down this way," Solomon said. "But there are things they could've handled better -- not just with me -- but with others as well." KSE has not responded to a request for comment.
