Florida Man Caught Golfing On Side Of I-75

Author Sean Roberts
The man parked his car and started playing.

Florida Man has done some crazy stuff over the years. Whether it’s the heat and humdidity, the constant threat of being eaten by an alligator or the possibility of getting offed by a wrong-way driver in your own driveway, Florida has a way of bringing out the deep, dark side of its occupants. Sometimes it’s funny, though. Take the YouTube vloggers from South Florida who were just driving along I-75 and rolling their camera phone. It was rush hour and traffic was moving slowly. The couple spotted someone on the side of the road and focused on his activities. As seen is the video, a man is playing a few holes of golf alongside the busy highway. It’s a dangerous activity for both the golfer and passersby. The video shows a car pulled off to the side of the interstae and a man in a polo shirt practicing his swing. The man remains unidentified. The couple that filmed the golfer has a vlog called ‘Southern Life’, which chroniscles their travels across the United States. They live in Fort Myers.

Is ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ The Most Quote-Worthy Movie Ever?

11 Great ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ Quotes That Aren’t 'These go to 11!'

  • 1. 'You don’t do heavy metal in Dubly, you know.'

    This entire scene makes you wonder just how many rock star spouses/partners have tried to talk about mixing an album. The tension between Jeanine and Nigel is palpable. Also, the way Nigel smiles at Jeanine’s “Dubly” flub is so great. Most of the film was famously improvised, so it makes you wonder if that flub was an honest mistake that Christopher Guest just ran with.

  • 2. 'I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down.  I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.'

    The little children of Stonehenge weren’t so little in this instance. Frankly, a Stonehenge monument being in danger of being crushed by a little person is a big problem. And yes, making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea. That goes without saying.

  • 3. 'Well, this piece is called ‘Lick My Love Pump.’'

    We still have no idea how either Guest or Reiner were able to keep a straight face during this scene. We’ve seen the movie countless times, and it still makes us laugh.

  • 4. 'It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever.'

    Sometimes, it feels like every day is a fine line between stupid and clever. If only Spinal Tap considered that before coming up with the cover art for Smell the Glove. Had they just objectified themselves, there wouldn’t be an issue at all. All they had to do was a little “turn-about.”

  • 5. 'This miniature bread…'

    Nigel just wants bigger bread. Is that so much to ask?! He had been working with it for half an hour, and he just couldn’t figure it out. It’s truly outrageous when you think about it.

  • 6. 'The review you had on ‘Shark Sandwich,’ which was merely a two-word review, just said ‘Sh-t sandwich.’'

    As brutal as it is, “Sh-t Sandwich” is a great album review. The members of Spinal Tap likely weren’t so tickled by it, but oh well. Honestly, we’d love to know which outlet printed that review. They seem, at the very least, interesting.

  • 7. 'Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.'

    Most people could probably find comfort in mild sedation. Of course, none of us are a rock god like David St. Hubbins. He clearly has a higher tolerance for things like that. However, most people likely side with Marty DiBergi in this instance.

  • 8. 'We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.'

    Derek Smalls shouldn’t sell himself short here. He, too, is quite the visionary. As “lukewarm water,” how could he not? However, what self-awareness he has to recognize the brilliance of his bandmates.

  • 9. 'None more black.'

    True, the answer really is “none.” We have to side with manager Ian Faith on this one. The cover is “simple, beautiful, classic.” Sure, it might not be what the band was hoping for with a title like Smell the Glove, but what a statement.

  • 10. 'Well, so what? What's wrong with bein' sexy?' 'Sex-IST!'

    Why do we get the feeling this conversation has taken place many times in rock and roll history? Plenty of men in bands have likely viewed women as objects. Thank goodness Ian and Bobbi were there to explain things. What true unsung heroes they are!

  • 11. 'He died. He died in a bizarre gardening accident.'

    R.I.P. John “Stumpy” Pepys, the first Spinal Tap drummer who met quite the tragic end.

    Fun fact: In May 2020, Queen’s Brian May was briefly hospitalized. He shared on Instagram that he “managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening.” Spinal Tap actor Michael McKean shared the story on Twitter and simply captioned it “…a bizarre gardening accident…”

The Greatest Pearl Jam Songs Ranked!

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
