Gladwyne Man Arrested for Drunk (Golf Cart) Driving During U.S. Open


Getting drunk and driving golf carts is as American as apple pie. After all, that’s what millions of men do every weekend, to no great consequence. When you try to pull it off at the U.S. Open, however, that’s a different story.

According to police, the intoxicated [53-year-old Gladwynne] man stole the cart before he and two other Bryn Mawr men took it for a ride through an area police described as congested on the Merion East Golf Course along the 400 block of Ardmore Avenue.

Woo, baby! The incident, which probably spiced things up at the famously buttoned-up club, occurred last Friday. The unnamed 53-year-old, who may now face Appointment in Samarrastyle ostracism from his social set, has been charged with disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and criminal mischief.
