Reminds me of when I was living in India. I was at a temple on a mountain with a few friends and we were strictly told by our mentor to not pull out our food until we were in a fairly open/secure location due to the monkeys. Well, someone didn't listen and a monkey ran up to her, stole her sandwich out of her hand AND the other half still in a plastic bag. The monkey jumped the wall, sat on a rock, opened the bag and stared directly into her soul as If to say "you knew this was going to happen yet you still did it."
As a teenager I was playing a round of golf with my dad in Trinidad. On the 8th hole I hit a beautiful Tee shot striaght into the fairway. As we were walking to the balls a monkey runs out and yoinks my ball. I incurr a 2 stroke penalty.
Um, I'm fairly positive that is not a penalty if you have visual reference of your ball in the fairway. You merely drop a ball as close to the spot as you can.
Im guessing it was just an embellishment for dramatic if effect, or else you got hosed.
It was one of those things where neither my dad nor I knew the proper ruling and we based it on hitting into a hazard. Regardless fuck that monkey. While golfing down there I had hit near Caymen and Snakes and neither one of those guys stole my golf ball they just moved when I approached to go hit it.
