PrintI know a lot of people love to play golf. For millions, it borders on obsession. But, as the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports, a St. Paul man took it to a whole new level.
Frazier E. Turner, 50, of St. Paul, went to a local grocery store on Wednesday around 9am to heist the bank location inside. He got $600 for his efforts by using a golf shoe cleat tool to rob the bank since, you know, it looks like a gun.
He left in a blue van that was identified. Police went looking for the van. They found it at a golf course about one mile from the bank. He was getting ready to hit some golf balls. The po-po searched his bag and found the money he just took from the bank about an hour prior. (He used $30 to get gas for the van and some lottery tickets.)
It doesn't end there. Turner did it cause he racked up $3500 in gambling debts since going unemployed.
Somebody had to pay off their bookie.
That's coming your way, Delaware!

if someone has video, this could end up on one of those “world’s dumbest criminals” shows.
follow his trial – see if he asks for a minimum security prison with a golf course…like the politicians get. (he’ll do time for armed robbery even though the “gun” wasn’t a gun)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Greens fees ain't cheap!
"Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into a even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose." - Winston Churchill
