Note To Smugglers: Know What A Handicap Is

Thanks to Putmedownfora6 for this priceless James Tozer story from The Sun detailing Kayti (huh!?) Dryer, who had checked golf clubs and paid a visit to Customs where they asked her what her handicap was.

When she was unable to answer, they seized the clubs and found £83,000 worth of cocaine hidden inside the shafts.

Yesterday the 23-year-old was starting a four-year prison sentence after admitting smuggling the drugs.

Dryer was questioned after her golf bag was X-rayed at Manchester Airport when she got off a flight from the Caribbean in April. She claimed to have taken the clubs on holiday to Montego Bay in Jamaica.

An airport source said: 'When asked about her handicap, she looked blank and asked them to repeat the question. They asked her again, she gave no response.

'She clearly did not know what they were talking about and had no idea it was even a golfing term. It appeared as if she thought they were asking her if she had a disability.'

Traces of cocaine were revealed when Customs officers swabbed her luggage, and when they cut the clubs into pieces they found a 1kg stash.

So, if you see a tour player sniffing his or her grips....

...or becoming suddenly concerned about 'swingweight' and repeatedly sending clubs back to the 'factory'...

[lowbeast]

...or new meaning to "finding your line" when lining up your putt.....

Any re-gripper worth their salt would have thrown off the dogs with excess solution.

A good lawyer would have raised an ADA defense -- inquiring about one's handicap is a patent violation. . .
