Playing golf down at Picture Butte a number of years ago.
2 old-timers were playing in front of us and driving a cart. It was the old type of cart with one wheel and no steering wheel, but a steering "bar" in the middle.. if you know the type.
We hit up to them when the signaled us to move past. The driver was parked up on a mound and the second one was in the depression hitting his second shot. Once he hit, we were going to play through.
When he hit, he started walking as he watched his ball. The driver also watched the ball and let his foot off the brake. The cart started to roll.. right towards his partner downhill. At the last second he swerved to try to avoid him.
He nailed the guy with the cart and swerved so hard that his foot came off the cart floor, dragged on the ground, got caught in the wheel well. As a result, he was flung from the cart.
2 old guys (70's easily) laying on the ground in pain. The cart was still rolling to the bottom of the depression. They were both throwing a bunch of f-bombs at each other. Hilarity ensued.
They shook it off after a few minutes but I'm sure they quit after 9. I'm surprised they both survived. I remember it like it was yesterday.
