Players Championship gets wacky

((ht: florida times-union/espn))

By now, most sports fans know about Taser boy in Philadelphia. Now, add Mr. Taser at the TPC. Apparently a drunk and stupid alleged Golf fan in Jacksonville, one Travis Parmelee got really drunk, really obnoxious and really stupid and as a result...got really tased.

As an added bonus, TPC Sawgrass course superintendent Tom Vlach stumbled onto a car that was parked on the 8th hole. Yes, there were two people in the car though there wasn't much of a description as to what they were doing (use your imagination). Police were called and eventually the situation was resolved with the couple getting a trespass warning.

Oh boy. This just sounds like it has been a bizzaro world down in Jacksonville. It is kind of sad that people feel the need to pull what Mr. Parmelee did. He sounds like he deserved what he got. But don't bet that he learned his lesson.

As for the car that managed to get on the 8th hole, the PGA folks might need to be a little more concerned about that. Someone's security force might be a little lax if things like that are happening.
