Air Horns, YouTube and Golf–An Unhealthy Combination

By: Rob Harris

“Know who you’re messing with before you do that, I kill people for a living.” According to this report from Alabama’s WKRG News 5, which includes some supporting video, these were the words of one golfer who was disturbed in mid-swing by the sound of an air horn unleashed by pranksters hiding in the woods.

Claiming they were nothing more than pranksters seeking to generate content for their YouTube channel, a group of six young men hiding in the woods, wearing camouflage clothing, hit the air horn multiple times, generating less-than-pleased reactions from golfers teeing off. The reaction, perhaps predictable, was a physical altercation–with ongoing disagreements regarding who instigated. The video accompanying the article shows much, but not the pranksters’ claim that one of them was tackled and beaten by a golfer.
