Bobby Jones once said that, "golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears," and while that is very true, it's another area of the body that landed an entire Lutheran college golf team in serious trouble.
The Bethany College men's golf team took a page out of Golf Digest's spread of the 2004 UCLA team and posed in the buff for an unofficial team photo (above), with just golf clubs covering their man parts, and it didn't sit well with the team's coach, who also happens to be the religious school's athletic director.
Jon Daniels suspended every player on the Fighting Swedes for three tournaments because of the photo he called, "a case of young people who just don't think beyond the moment and don't realize who they're hurting."
[. . . ] And how did the photo get leaked in the first place? Facebook, of all places, by one of the players in the picture.
Team captain Jack Hiscock told KAKE news that the team is appealing the suspension, and mentioned that the photos were just meant to be fun.
"It was only intended as a bit of fun with the lads," said Hiscock who is from England. "We all have our shirts off, our shorts to ankles and we are holding golf clubs in front covering up our um, male parts."
Team captain, Jack Hiscock? Is this real life? Even Mike Hunt, Dick Trickle, and Dick Butkus think that's embarrassing. Nothing like leaking homoerotic pics of you and the bros at golf/church camp to reveal to the world your unfortunate circumstance in the name department. Those parents must have some sense of humor. I wouldn't name my son Jack for the simple fact that someone could call him Jack off, and my last name isn't even Hiscock. Only worse possible name choice would be if this dude was Asian and his parents named him Suk.
