TEPaul,
I was dismissed from being Captain of the women's swim team when I insisted that the bathing suits should be limited to thongs.
However, my appointment as the Captain of the ACCC swim team began while I was playing the 17th hole, the par 3 with the brackish pond offset to the right.
While on the tee we heard a commotion.
4 or 5 grounds crew were standing on the edge of the pond trying to assist/save a goosling that had been attacked by a snapping turtle.
But, they couldn't reach the goosling with their rakes.
The geese were tying to assist the goosling too, which was fairly large, as the snapping turtle had it by the leg and was trying to drag it under water.
We ran up to the spot and everyone looked at everyone else, kind of helplessly.
I took off my shoes and jumped into the pond fully clothed.
Big surprise, I immediately sank into the muck.
I waded my way out until the water was up to my neck, grabbed the turtle and the goosling and seperated them, and then released the goosling.
When I got out of the water, I was pitch black from the muck and brackish water. I then played # 17 and 18. I believe that I birdied # 18. I then went into the pro shop and declared that golfers shouldn't have to play out of water hazards, that they should get relief. The staff were aghast.
Billy Ziobro, an old friend, was the Pro.
He asked me what happened and I told him.
He immediately appointed me as the Captain of the ACCC swim team, in perpetuity.
I then went in and showered and gave the dirty clothes to the staff who put them in a washer/dryer, changed, and went back out and played more golf.
