Bethany Golf Team Suspended Over Controversial Photo (Proud of their putters)
KAKE ^ | August 22, 2011 | Deb Farris

Bethany College men's golf team has been suspended from three tournaments because of a team picture.

Golf coach Jon Daniels says all 15 members of the men's team were involved in taking a picture on a hilltop with nothing on. The men posed with the head of their golf club covering their private parts. The picture was then posted on facebook with the title Men's Bethany Golf Team.

The coach says the boys were inspired by pictures of the UCLA men's players who posed with a bucket of golf balls in front of their private parts. Those pictures were published in the magazine Golf Digest and Sports Illustrated.

Daniels says he talked to the boys about upholding the reputation of the Lutheran college and the golf team. He suspended the team from playing in three tournaments.

Team captain Jack Hiscock tells KAKE News it was just a bit of fun that got blown out of proportion.

The team has appealed the suspension to the college president. He's expected to make a decision sometime later this week.

These boys are celebrities now. Next season I am sure Bart Simpson will telephone Moe about Jack Hiscock.

"Bethany College men's golf team...?"

Men? Really?
More like 12-year olds who never grew up - seems we now have a whole generation of adolescent "men".

Yes we do.

Consider they were inspired by UCLA's photos published in mainstream publications Sports Illustrated and Golf Digest and I think you have an open and shut case.

Isn’t it weird how many times a main figure in a news story has an innuendoed name like that?

One thing you can say about those lads is, they’ve got balls

Now, if they had been elderly paunchy women posing naked, they could have inspired a movie....

Reminds me of a story attributed to the late Johnny Carson. He was interviewing the wife of a then famous golf pro. In response to a question about how she helped her husband with his golf game she responded that she kissed his balls. He came back with, “I’ll bet that makes his putter stand up”.
