Oh man... I worked at a golf course during the summer when I was in high school... I worked with five other guys. 3 of them were college students (23 or 24) and the other two were my age (16 or 17 at the time). One of the older guys drove a van and he would get so wasted that he would drive his van to the golf course at 4 or 5 in the morning and pass out in the back of his van just so he wouldn't be late for work in the morning.... he usually did this about every morning... if he wasn't passed out in his van he was passed out on one of the lawn mowers or a golf cart... or just on the floor of the shop... One of the other older guys would always mow the greens... and he would be high and/or still drunk from the night before... one day I was mowing the collars/fringe and he was mowing a green and he didn't take the flag out.... well... he passed out while on the mower and his mower turned straight for the flag and he ran straight over it...... and didn't wake up. I watched the whole thing happen and I laughed the whole time... his mower slowly creeped along chewing up the flag until finally there was nothing left but shards. Meanwhile his mower heads off the green and he falls off a 4 foot sand trap lip into the sand trap.... he finally woke up. The superintendent wasn't too happy but I thought it was hilarious. Also, I was hungover there one time and I had to stop mowing so some older people could play through. Old people are slow golfers... so it took awhile... I put my head down (this was at around 6:15 in the morning) and next thing I knew the guy that ran over the flag was doing donuts with his mower around my mower.... and it was lunch time... hahaha. So yeah, that was a fun summer job.
