Golfer Shanks Shot Out of the Rough – Sparks Fire

 

CONCOW, CA - JULY 10:  A spot fire burns through trees and brush July 10, 2008 in Concow, California. Firefighters continue to battle the Butte Lightning Fire Complex fires that have charred over 49,000 acres, burned 50 buildings, and have prompted the evacuations of close to 10,000 people as the fire threatens the towns of Paradise and Concow, California.

It’s dry in California.  Scrape your iron on a rock and you have calamity.

An unnamed golfer at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, CA is not going to be held responsible for hitting the bad shot. But, in the end, it caused a 12-acre blaze that required the assistance of 150 firefighters and helicopters overhead.

For most golfers, the ultimate story to tell is a hole-in-one.  For this guy, he’ll always have a different story.
