Golf has plenty of great stories… but some of the strangest and darkest ones happen off the scorecard. In this special “Dark Episode” of Sandbagger Sessions, we dive into the weird, creepy, and sometimes downright criminal stories connected to golf courses around the world.

From unsolved crimes and haunted golf courses to golfers doing truly bizarre things, we each bring a list of the most unusual and unsettling stories we could find in the world of golf. Some are historical mysteries, some involve real crimes on the course, and some are just the kind of strange golf folklore you wouldn’t believe unless you heard it.

In this episode we talk about:

  • A haunted golf course built on thousands of graves in San Francisco
  • A chilling murder–suicide connected to a meeting on a golf course
  • A man who assaulted people with golf clubs during a dispute on a course
  • The bizarre story of a fake Titleist rep scamming golfers with nonexistent clubs
  • A strange mini-golf statue theft at 4am
  • And more dark, weird, and unbelievable golf stories

If you love golf history, bizarre sports stories, and the strange side of the game, this might be the darkest golf episode you’ll ever hear.
