How NOT to Dive for Golf Balls

This sounds like something I’d do.

A 36-year old man put on a weight belt but NO underwater breathing apparatus and dove into a water hazard to retrieve golf balls.

The man and his cousin were working for a Houston-based golf ball collection firm.

The operative words – were working.

The man drowned. He went down but didn’t come back up.

The police are saying there was no evidence of:

external injuries

foul play,

alcohol

drugs.

His cousin is still fetching balls to be cleaned and returned to the club.

Oh, the police did find puddles of stupidity left around the edge of the water hazard that were running into the lake.
