There are people for everything. It’s okay -not very okay, to be honest- that during a round of golf you get an urge and in an extreme case -very extreme- that you know you are not going to make it to the clubhouse in time, you go into the forest and do your most solid physiological needs. That would have a pass, but the mysterious character that for ten years has been going into a golf course in Norway to relieve himself inside the holes! is a different story.
Kenneth Tennfjord, groundskeeper at Stavanger Golf Club, said he has found human feces and toilet paper on some holes since 2005.
The gardener believes that it must surely be a man performing this act because the fecal matter is too large to be from a woman.
“He has a couple of favorite holes,” he told the Tennfjord Rogaland Avis newspaper. “And we know it’s a man because the stool is too big to be a woman’s.”
“The man defecates only Monday through Friday. On weekends I haven’t found any poop on the golf course,” Tennfjord said. The fecal discoveries are often accompanied by used toilet paper.
Steinar Floisvik, the club’s general manager, said the mystery party pooper uses a bicycle to get to the field.
“With the morning dew we noticed bike tracks in the grass. They discovered that they had done their business on the green and the bike tracks disappeared back the way they came,” Floisvik said.
Frode Jormeland, another gardener, said the club installed high-powered floodlights to discourage the unwanted visitor, but they didn’t work because the man turned them off.
“He climbed a tree next to the lights and dismantled the bulbs. I don’t know how he didn’t get electrocuted.”
Floisvik said motives of the “Poopy Man” are unknown. “We think it may be someone who, for unknown reasons, hates the game of golf. On the other hand, the person may be a fetishist or suffer from mental problems.”
