Not sure about Pebble Beach, but I played Torrey pines for $44 since I’m a local resident and borrowed my friend’s grandpa’s clubs. So it’s possible to be broke and still play a nice course
I was at the US Open at Pebble Beach in the Nineties and watched a seagull land on the green and pick the ball closer to the hole. Was enjoyable too watch.
The ball was put back on original spot. But it was a good try. It was very entertaining as the bird could have sent it in any direction but chose the hole. Hmmm maybe it was trained.
A friend of mine lost his wallet in a swimming hole this year, didn’t realize it was missing until he got home. His AirTag worked despite being ~fifteen feet underwater. YMMV
I don’t remember if he was wearing board shorts or regular shorts, but either way he forgot he had his wallet in his pocket when he jumped in. He did take off his shirt and shoes before hand though, so no, not swimming in his clothes, just swimming in his swimming clothes lol.
Word. Yeah, I mean I think he was wearing board shorts just because that’s what he usually wears when we go to the river, but around here it’s pretty normal for people to just wear ~whatever kind of shorts to go swimming, especially if they weren’t planning on hitting up the river whenever they left their house that day.
But it's good to know that they still work underwater. Mine didn't even work under my car seat (where my mom's wallet had gone, which I have AirTagged - fortunately, I had to do an emergency brake on the autobahn, which catapulted the wallet out of hiding, or we'd still be searching).
People claim pigeons are the rats of the sky, but I posit that it's seagulls. They're about the most brain dead of the birds. I've watched them eat all kinds of trash on the beach. And I'm not talking about when tourists throw things at them.
I've watched them eat things off the ground like lit cigarettes, bottle caps, and rocks. I mean they'll snatch French fries, hot dogs, sandwiches, and fish, but just as likely random trash.
There's a reason they're portrayed as stupid in cartoon movies.
A leather wallet could easily resemble something they find interesting. On the other hand, birds generally just enjoy drama and chaos, and seagulls especially might just like to fuck him in particular.
I've played out there on some of Pebble's sister courses, it ain't the birds you need to worry about...it's the WIND. I'm talking wind so stiff you can lean forward at a 45 degree angle and not fall over. lol.
There was probably so much Zyn left in there 😱
I used to work at a golf course, they always have backup.
‘Poor guy’. Hardly if he’s playing golf at Pebble Beach.

I knew a guy who got struck by lightning and then survived a shark attack!
I’ve heard some tall tales in my day, but this one sounds shockingly fishy.
Less about the money more about the wait at the DMV for your new Id, then at the bank for your new cards, what a fucking hassle
I lost my wallet relatively recently. I just filled out a form online and they sent a new one to my house
Yeah you need ID to get ID
Well, a bit poorer now without his wallet.
The bird wasn't planning to do that; he was just winging it.
Just new boot goofing
Fowl play is suspected.

Interesting idea, as a way to cheat… training sea gulls to do the work for you.

This is why I always have a slingshot in my back pocket.
Brian Regan summoned that sea gull. That's crazy a comedy routine came true.
I don't remember exactly but it was about having empathy for a kid losing a balloon. Imagine if your wallet had wings and flew away.
How could that golfer be so gullible?
Don't chase him. Let him land and realize it's not edible. He'll leave it there.
DoorDash order for 5,000 fries incoming.
It’s probably one of those annoying birds from Assassin’s Creed.
Mine?
I'm trying to teach crows to do this
Uh, did he ever get it back? That's why it's useful to have an AirTag in your purse - though I'm not sure that it would still work under water...

I just have to know: How did he lose his wallet IN the swimming hole? Did he go swimming with his clothes on? 😲
I don’t remember if he was wearing board shorts or regular shorts, but either way he forgot he had his wallet in his pocket when he jumped in. He did take off his shirt and shoes before hand though, so no, not swimming in his clothes, just swimming in his swimming clothes lol.
Ah, okay, I'm a girl, so the concept of "swimming shorts that you also wear like regular clothes and keep your wallet in" didn't occur to me, lol.

Defo
So this is just gonna like, follow me around forever now isn’t it?
Defo
Can’t say I didn’t see that coming.
Wait until you hear about pockets.

Only if they also stole an iPhone lol
"Ooh free food wait ew what is this shit? Ptooey"
Well that is one hell of a way to get a Birdie.
After shelling out $600-$1,000 for that round of golf, that wallet must have been light enough to fly.
They steal our wallets now?
This why I always carry my 6.5 Creedmoor in my golf bag. You just never know.
Seagulls have to buy groceries you know. Their unemployment hit the roof lately after recent layoffs.
Beenie Siegel needs a pincode
This is why I don't golf Pebble Beach anymore.
It smelled like worms maybe. Dude needs a colonoscopy.
To be so comfortable financially as to leave your wallet anywhere else than in your pockets.
What do seagulls eat that looks like that, or conversely, what do golfers bring to the course that's edible but looks like a wallet.
Seagulls eat fucking anything.

Edit: grammar
Guy I met claimed he had a childhood side hustle, getting rid of sea gulls by a boardwalk food place.
First he threw them French fries while they flew overhead.
Then he threw them firecrackers.
A leather wallet could easily resemble something they find interesting. On the other hand, birds generally just enjoy drama and chaos, and seagulls especially might just like to fuck him in particular.
Maybe they have history of returning stolen goods in exchange for food.
A fish maybe?
And the f bomb is still echoing around the world.
I'm imagining the phone reps on the other end of the call when he phones in to report his credit cards stolen.
One day and no night stay at the impressive pebbo beach
I would gladly sacrifice my wallet for footage like this
that's a rich guy
Offer some potato chips in exchange.
He’s playing golf, I don’t think he’s poor…
Honestly, based on how bad golf courses are for the environment, good. Maybe he won't go back.
Insane take. Cars are bad for the environment you dont hope every driver gets their wallet stolen
You don’t know them. Maybe they do. Maybe they want to live in a world of stolen wallets everywhere.
Barcelona?
Seagulls do, they just don't know how to open car doors...yet

I’ve had morning wood like that.
He can afford it if he’s playing that course….. haha
if golf weren't evil I'd care.
Oh no… so anyway…
Who cares
Leave your valuables vulnerable, pay the price…
