A mother teed off by drunken golfers urinating near her house by the 18th hole resorted to videotaping the men after no action was taken on her complaints. Video of some men relieving themselves behind trees at the city-owned course was played on local and national television news.
"Many times I would say, 'You're on camera,' and they'd keep right on going. They'd yell and scream obscenities at me," Delisa Schubert said.
Schubert, her husband and daughters ages 11 and 15 live next to the Tennessee Centennial Golf Course in Oak Ridge, 20 miles west of Knoxville. She said they family moved there so the girls could improve their golf game.
What kind of golfers do you have in Tennessee?
Update: From R. Neal, "The quality and maturity of blog posts and discussion has been increasingly outstanding of late,..."
I would like to think I contributed to this increase in the quality of posts by posting a story on urination. You can thank me later.
Of course the solution is to send her kids out in the back yard and when a golfer urinates have the kids call 911 saying some pervert is exposing himself to them. A few guys getting busted for sex crimes should solve the problem.

Excellent! Five comments in and we achieve partisan bullshit! This is kind of like a corollary to Godwin's Law, when Bush and/or the GOP is invoked as being the cause of everything that is bad, or at least not good. Or maybe it's yet another side-effect of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Whatever. It's pathetic.
Christianity has as much of a stain of murder in the name of God as any other religion so take that holier than thou attitude of yours and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Snuggle up close and cozy with that straw man, Nelle. Way to go! Got dictionary?
Point is, if you are going to criticize Bush and the GOP, please do so with at least some measure of intelligence and rationality. There is so much there to work with! Really! And it IS quite possible to totally criticize this administration without coming off like a bunch of deranged, delusional idiots spewing worn-out, hashed over talking points, Give it a try!
please do so with at least some measure of intelligence and rationality
Intelligent and rational criticisms of Bush yield nothing, barren "but Clinton..." rationalizations if not silence.
Republicans know Bush, judged on his own merits, is a disgrace, but they are scared to explore how truly disgraceful. They dismiss Abu Ghraib as the equivalent of detaining Japanese citizens and nationals during WWII, but the Japanese were not killed, tortured and sexually humiliated. There is no historical precedent for widespread and systemic abuse in American military prisons like occurred under Bush, and it is not explained by the actions of a few soldiers.
But hey, it's not all Republicans abdicating vigilance. Senator Lindsey Graham called for "repercussions for higher-ups, not just the military police accused of abusing detainees" after viewing physical evidence, seeing the Taguba report and hearing testimony from Rumsfeld.
Some Republicans realize what a disgrace the Bush administration has been. It is not just that Bush's accomplishments are rapidly dimming and fading; it is all that has gone wrong to get us mired in the sands of oil wealth and old-time religion. Some Republicans see the facts, many have only the courage to respond to cheap shots.
What this country needs is more Republicans willing to admit that Bush was distracted as the 9/11 attacks transpired, overreacted to compensate, trusted advisors who were distorting the known intelligence, allowed Karl Rove's political goals to influence his decisions and exercised little control over Donald Rumsfeld's highly privatized military as it sucked money and moral authority from America's treasury.
But still your duress, my friend, the Democrats are uniting with you on being willing to coast through two more years of misguided, dishonest and corrupt leadership in hopes that things won't get any worse.
One more thing. You have the name of the affliction wrong. It is not Bush Derangement Syndrome. It is Rumsfeld-Cheney-Rove-Feith-Libby-Chalabi-Cambone-White-Rice-Bush Derangement Syndrome. RCRFLCCWRBDS for short, or affectionately, Ricebush Rum blight. Please update your vocabulary.
Hey Duress, it's not just me who suffers from Ricebush Rum blight. Here is the former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit writing in Sunday's Washington Post:
Tenet's attacks focus instead on the walking dead, politically speaking: the glowering and unpopular Cheney; the hapless Rice; the band of irretrievably discredited bumblers who used to run the Pentagon, Donald H. Rumsfeld, Paul D. Wolfowitz and Douglas J. Feith; their neoconservative acolytes such as Richard Perle; and the die-hard geopolitical fantasists at the Weekly Standard and National Review.
Good stuff! Of course, it's reality-based, so you may not be interested.
And it IS quite possible to totally criticize this administration without coming off like a bunch of deranged, delusional idiots spewing worn-out, hashed over talking points, Give it a try!
You, wingnuts and any other Republicans go first!
It boggles my mind when wingnuts start with the angry left BS, or the Democratic talking points or lack of logic. They always accuse others, usually incorrectly, of what they themselves are guilty of.
Think Rodney Dangerfield meets Michael G Hagerty.
It was in the KNS.
What kind of golfers do you have in Tennessee?
Don't even ask.
Of course the solution is to send her kids out in the back yard and when a golfer urinates have the kids call 911 saying some pervert is exposing himself to them. A few guys getting busted for sex crimes should solve the problem.
What kind of golfers do you have in Tennessee?
Old men have a short bladder span. ...and I had to read it in the Houston Chronicle.
Golf:There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
...and yes, I play from time to time.
Let's see,
Oak Ridge+Golf+ALCOHOL+shouting obscenities+whippin'it out near an 11 yo child?
= Republicans.
I got 100 bucks that says every single one of them is GOP.
:)

I see you and raise you the Christian version from the Bible.
Don't forget Salem, Massachusetts
Or the Spanish Inquisition
Christianity has as much of a stain of murder in the name of God as any other religion so take that holier than thou attitude of yours and shove it where the sun don't shine.

We can't help it that Bush and his supporters are, as you so eloquently put it, "the cause of everything that is bad, or at least not good."
Still, you're the one who compared them to Nazis, not one of us pinkos ...
Actually, it was covered by WATE on Monday. Complete with video!!

When I clicked the WATE link, an ad just below the video frame of the golfer whizzing is for the Shrimp Dock. Yuk yuk yuk.
