Via the BBC: California golfer’s errant swing ‘sparks 12-acre blaze’
A California wildfire was sparked when a golfer trying to hit a ball out of the rough struck his club against a rock, fire officials have said.
The fire burned 12 acres on a densely wooded hill by the Shady Canyon golf course in Irvine, California.
Officials said the golfer, whose name was withheld, will not face charges over the fire on Saturday.
I swear that I was no where near the area.
It just goes to show the trouble that a bad lie can cause (plus hitting off rocks can be hazardous to your wrists).
