This Is a Job for… Carl Spackler!

They could have used the gopher-chasing groundskeeper from Caddyshack in Cromwell, Connecticut last Saturday. During the 2018 Travelers Championship, golfer Rory McIlroy had to wait while a persistent squirrel decided to play through. McIlroy wasn’t teed off, though — he got in a few practice swings before taking his shot. And the squirrel? He’s all right, don’t nobody worry ’bout him.

Another hole-in-one submission from Faye via Cheezburger.

    Awww. Poor little dude – with crowds on all sides, it’s hard to know how to exit a PGA tourney.

    Is this the same sqwerl from the football video the other day? 😉

    “This guy paid me peanuts to mess up your shot! Something about a bet…”

    Silly squirrel, golf is for humans.

    That’s more golf than I’ve ever watched before. Thank goodness the sqwerl livened things up.

      Golf is boring but the views are pretty.

      (My dad watches golf.)

        I watch for the views and the soft intonation of the announcers. At least the humans get to be outdoors.

        Sqweerl shows up again after the drive.

        Thanks Mike!

          Yeah, there’s one guy with an Irish accent (David Feherty) that I love listening to.

      I always wanted to hear those kind of golf announcer voicers but have them describing someone knitting…..”Now, wait, did she just do a yarn over? We weren’t expecting that. Ladies and gentlemen, this is some unusual knitting going on here……..” (golf clapping in background)

        Hahahahaha.

    Squirrels on the golf course, kangaroos on the soccer field . . . What’s this world coming to???

      That’s amazing! They are fabulous creatures, the way they can bound – springs in their legs.
