Allow me to summarize
this article as follows:
Course owners find balls; club 40-year squatter into rough. Man proclaimed to be a hazard. Teed duffers ask if this was a fairway to treat him. Par-for-the-course thinks this dKos denizen.
A man who lived on a golf course for 40 years was told to leave because some golfers complained that he scared them.
Other golfers, however, said Kenny Bethel is harmless and should be allowed to stay at Palmetto Golf Course.
Bethel, 55, first showed up at the golf course after he ran away from home in 1963. He collected and resold stray golf balls, used the club's showers and toilets at night and slept in a sheltered area on the course that housed the showers.
"This course became my job and, later, my home," he said.
For the last nine years, he had been joined by his wife Francis, 43. They have since relocated to a space under a nearby bridge.
It MUST HAVE been love. "Hey, baby: I'm a homeless guy with a little shack set up on a golf course. Gotta sweet deal going. I collect lost golf balls and sell 'em back to the course. Now, I know it ain't much, but you get to use the showers in the clubhouse, and that's pretty ritzy. So, whadd'ya say? Marry me?"
