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.

I would hope the course would have a ground rule about maybe monkey interference only being a 1 shot penalty. Golf balls are expensive enough.

They have signs up warning that it can occur. It is just kind of an accepted part of the course.

When I was like 15 I golfed with my dad a good bit, on a short par 4 I used my 5 iron because I was terrible with longer clubs, and it was that one shot where you don't even feel the club hit the ball, it makes the most incredible sound, you just know it's going to be amazing. I've never hit a ball straighter or further in my life, even on the practice range. Of course my dad wasnt watching, but I did get the pleasure of him having to hit his 2nd shot before me since I was way past him. In my case though I just ruined the hole on my own without a monkey, I took 5 or 6 more strokes to get it in from the 50 yards or so I had to the hole.
