I remember all too well drunkenly flipping a golf at the lasalle bank open in glenview a few years back when i was caddy. those were the days.. getting wasted at 10 AM, driving golf carts around, and getting paid cash for it at the same time.

Don't worry Rob, none of us here think any of Chicagoist's tastes run towards the "highbrow".

I was in brooklyn this summer and bill murray had been frequenting a nearby bar to the bar i was at for awhile. we started talking about his movie and how he had been at this bar when the waiter overhears and says "bill, oh yeah, great guy" what a dipshit. hahahahaha.

You'll think I'm making this up, but I'm not ... I had a friend in high school who killed her sister in a freak golf cart accident. She had a golf cart, which she used to tool up and down gravel roads near her house. One day when her sister was with her, she lost control and flipped into a ditch. The golf cart landed on her sister and killed her. Which is to say, it's not necessarily true that Murray endangered no one with his foray away from the course. Golf carts, like any vehicle, can be dangerous.

Keep in mind that some fines in Sweden are not so simple, based not on a certain amount (e.g. $100 or something), but a certain percentage of your income (1% or something). Those that make a lot of money (read 'move actors') can also pay huge fines, the theory being that it would retain its deterrent effect.
