This is great! All this extra time to go and dig up great golf stories in the off-season. You know, now that the whole Tiger debacle has finally quieted down a bit, I figured I would revisit the world’s oldest profession and it’s run-in’s with golf.

Check this out, in October of ’09, 36-year-old Melanie Kozik was arrested for “willing to engage in prostitution and maintaining a brothel.” Here’s the kicker, she offered (wink, wink) “Golf Lessons” on Craigslist as the ploy. Kozik, who had previously admitted to prostitution, stated she made $1,500 a week disguising golf lessons as prostitution. That’s it…are you f*$%#ing kidding me?!?! $1,500 a week to sell your ass? Come on Mel, if you applied your entrepreneurial skills to a legit biz you could have made that legally.

Moving on to Prairie Village, Kansas, two women got arrested for running a prostitution ring that involved using a church’s parking lot and a golf course. Really girls? A church’s parking lot? The story goes on to say that the girls would use the golf course as a place to dance for- and recruit new clients. I guess the “19th” hole has a whole new meaning. Oh! ba-dum!

Back in ’02 at Hidden Valley Golf Club (please save the salad dressing jokes) two of the course managers and a tournament organizer were sentenced to house arrest for having some prostitutes do their thing at a golf tournament. The tournament cost about 2 fazools ($200 for those that never saw Donnie Brasco) with about 160 players. Funny part was that a bunch of players didn’t even bother to bring their clubs!

Officials reported that over a dozen prostitutes and strippers, including one that was 16, set up tents and…wait a minute…they set up tents? Dude, that’s friggin’ hysterical! “Hey guys, how about you come inside and sink your putz…?” or even better, they had signs advertising their services. Like what? “Come on in to get your shaft fitted?”

Until the next time…may your balls always find the hole.
