Mookie, don’t take the wheel.
On Sunday, second-year Red Sox outielder Mookie Betts played a round of golf. One thing led to another, and the golf cart Betts was driving ended up in a pond.
Betts was out on the course with first baseman Travis Shaw, who tweeted out this:

Four minutes later, Betts took credit for the aquatic mishap:

No one was harmed in the sinking of this golf cart, per Shaw’s update.
Betts later went on to say that the he didn’t drive the cart into the pond, it rolled in.
He gave the full story to WEEI.
“I left my club on the last hole and I went back to get it,’’ Betts said. “Parked on a hill. Thought I pushed the break, but it didn’t break, obviously. I didn’t push it all the way in. I ran to get my club and by the time I turned around it was going in the pond. That’s pretty much it.
“I’m done driving. I’ll just let everyone else take over. I may just walk. It may be better.’’
If hitting a ball into a water hazard is a one stroke penalty, what’s landing the whole cart in there?
