Golfer Mistaken for Clown
BATAVIA, N.Y. - A Massachusetts man whose colorful golf attire was briefly mistaken for a clown outfit has been charged in New York with driving a golf cart while drunk.
The Genesee County sheriff says they got a report that someone dressed as a clown was operating a stolen golf cart in the western New York town of Batavia on Sunday night. Deputies found 37-year-old James Straub, of Stoneham, Mass., driving along a road.
He wasn't dressed as a clown - just wearing some colorful clothing after an outing at Terry Hills Golf Course. But deputies say he was intoxicated.
Straub pleaded not guilty in town court to a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated and a lesser charge of refusing to take a breath test. He didn't have a lawyer at his initial appearance.

Have you ever seen a football, basketball or soccer player stop in the middle of a game Note I didn't mention baseball to smoke and drink? Oh, wait. Europeans play soccer, er, futball so there may very well be smoking and drinking during matches. I know there are in the stands...how else would you explain hooliganism??? You never hear about that sort of thing in the states. What? A brawl in San Francisco when they played the Raiders?? Impossible.
Back to the story. I am so easily distracted. Picture, if you will, James Staub in the 19th hole after his round of golf. Beertender says "Buddy, hand over those car keys, you're too drunk to drive." To which James replies, "F.U. I doan need no stinkin' car to get outta here," runs out to hop in a golf cart and races off into the evening only to be caught in an O.J. Simpson slow motion chase with the local sheriff.
Lights pulsating in signature red and blue. Siren screeching out a staccato Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Sheriff walking next to the "speeding" cart all the while thinking "This guy really is a clown," while drivers in cars pass by looking at the scene and asking themselves, "What the hell?"

I bet golf is a lot more fun when you're drunk.
It'd have to be.
It couldn't possibly get worse.
I never had any trouble while drinking. It was when I stopped that my woes began--had to begin paying bills, saying, "I'm sorry" , etc.,etc.
Of course, I never played golf, NOR did I wear a clown suit, although when we farmers went to town, Peeps would say, "Here come the clowns!"
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy Wednesdays. I mean, "What the hell!"
The guy's a golfer.... nuff said!
This is exactly why I have it listed on my "deal breaker" list of men I will not date. No, not the drunken golf cart driving, the miserably dressed golfers.
Corrected..
Two posts were combined.
Thanks
Drunk or not, they should ticket him for wearing that awful colored outfit in public.
How plaid were his pants?
Why is driving a golf cart while intoxicated on a public thoroughfare a misdemeanor? And why aren't those kinds of golf clothes a class 1 felony.
