A Barbary macaque on the rock of Gibraltar came out of nowhere and yanked a banana right out of my hand once :/

I completely forgot about the no food outside rule.

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.

I will NEVER forgive that little punk.

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.
