I’ve been known to pull a prank or two and I seldom do it on the golf course, but this is one of those I just have to share with all of you.

My playing partner and I were paired with this young guy a few weeks before and after our round we exchanged phone numbers so we could play again. I had seen him in the clubhouse the week before using the sunscreen supplied in the locker room, I only remember because we struck a conversation before we actually met and played and I remember things like that. We made arrangements to play the following weekend and I thought I might have a little fun with this guy we’ll call “Long Knocker.”

In our clubhouse locker room we have the usual assortment of goodies right next to the sink area. The plastic combs soaking in the barbersol, shaving cream, mouthwash, hair gel, sunscreen, etc. The sunscreen and hair gel are in one of those containers that has a pump on it. The two are right next to each other and very similar looking.

I knew “LK” was in the restroom and figured he would use the sunscreen again so I swapped out the pumps for the gel and the sunscreen. I knew there would be just enough gel in the pump to get the job done. I went to my locker and I had a perfect view of the sink, now if he just stuck to his routine. “LK” came out and went to the same sink and washed his hands and then put some sunscreen on, never knowing what he just did. After we exchanged a few words and he walked out, I went and swapped out the pumps again, making sure to clean them up.

Well “LK” was making some pretty interesting facial expressions like someone had placed his face in cast and you are trying to move it around because it’s getting crispy. We let him go on for a few holes and had our fun, laughing about it between holes before we finally told him about the prank. The expression was a bit subdued, but priceless. He wanted to smile, but couldn’t. The gel must have been super firm hold.

He got a good chuckle out of it and he was a good sport about it and we ended playing all summer together.

What are some of the pranks you have played on people?
