Hitting golf balls into a park meadow is littering. Had Grisar retrieved the balls he would have trampled a protected meadow that is being restored.
Yosemites meadows are vulnerable ecosystems, critical to both plant and animal species. They are also sponges soaking up water from melting snowpack. Most of San Franciscos water is filtered by the parks meadows.

(14,565 posts)That's one of the awesome aspects about golf. In every round no matter how poorly you play there will be a handful of swings that send the ball exactly where you envisioned...and then some. Such an incredible feeling.
Then there are the handful of shots that are so pure you remember them the rest of your life. For this guy's sake, I hope this was one of them.
I wonder what Yosemite's reaction would have been if Trump did exactly the same thing?

Concessionaire employees are some of the worst. I used to live in a small town with many of them during tourist season and they are not people I would neither care to work with nor have as friends.

It's called a golf course! Brand new concept. From the 17th century!
Idiot!
