High School Lacrosse Players Suspended After Posting Boozing Pictures on Facebook

According to Ward Melville High School (NY) senior Emma “Ms. Obvious 2010″ Bloch, “everyone in high school drinks.” Maybe, but not everyone is dumb enough to post pictures of their underage boozing activity on Facebook for the world to see, especially if it’s pretty much the entire lacrosse team.  That, even in an era where everyone is drunk every day at school, will get you suspended from the team. Not because you were drinking, but because you were stupid enough to post those pics online. We expect the drinking, but you kids these days with your video games, cellular phones and sexting should really know better. Claims one senior Teddy “The Valedictorian” Ouwerkerk: “I guess Facebook isn’t the most private after all.”

No, really?

Fifteen high school lacrosse players learned the hard way to be careful what you display on Facebook.
The players from Ward Melville High School posted photos of a night of drinking, classmates said. Ward Melville school district officials apparently saw those photos and promptly suspended the fifteen players for today’s home game against Smithtown. “It’s not the biggest deal,” said Ward Melville senior Emma Bloch. “Everyone in high school drinks. They just shouldn’t have put it out there.”

The drinking incident happened April 16 at a private home, school district officials said in a written statement. But the statement did not specify what happened, whether it was heavy drinking, hazing or something else.  “Maybe it’s not the smartest move to have put the photos up,” said senior Teddy Ouwerkerk. “I guess Facebook isn’t the most private after all.”

Argument Over Slow Player Results in Busted Golf Club, Arrested Golfer

Some golfers like to play fast, while others take their time and savor every . . . last . . . second . . . on . . . the–WOULD YOU JUST HIT THE FREAKING BALL ALREADY!  That’s what happens when a fast player gets behind a slow player. What doesn’t usually happen is the fast player freaks out and wildly swings a golf club at the head of the slow player. And yes, citizen lawyer Brian R. Smith, even if you don’t actually make contact with the guy’s head, they can still arrest you.

A flap on the links left a golf club broken, a Stuart man “in fear of his life” and an alleged club wielder behind bars, according to a recently released Martin County Sheriff’s Office report.  The 33-year-old victim told investigators at the Summerfield Golf Club on April 14 he was playing golf with Brian R. Smith, 45, of Hobe Sound. Smith, the victim said, “became upset with him because he was not playing fast enough.”

They argued and Smith was “getting in his face” and yelling, the victim told deputies. The victim, a Stuart resident, sat on the golf cart and said Smith swung a golf club at him, bashing the cart and breaking the club “right next to his head.”  “He said he felt the debris spray him in the face,” the report states. “The victim said he got off the golf cart and he walked back to the club house because he was in fear of his life.” Meanwhile, Smith said he swung the club and hit the golf cart, saying he didn’t think there was anything criminal about the incident because he didn’t injure the victim.
