Bachelor parties are a time to get rowdy and have fun. Said rowdiness is usually limited to the groom and his buddies. However, that wasn’t the case over the weekend when 61-year-old James Alonzo Hines took his frustration out on the bachelor party group that happened to be be playing ahead of him on Jacksonville’s Beach Municipal Golf Course. Hines claims that the partygoers were horsing around and taking too much time between shots. To teach them a lesson, he decided to drive his golf cart right into the group at full speed (seems logical). Various members of the bachelor party group suffered injuries ranging from small cuts to leg bruises. Read the original report from the Florida-Times Union.

If you’re one of the grooms that will be playing golf for your bachelor party or on the morning of the wedding, we’ve got something you need to see:

Introducing the DivPro 6 Way Golf Tool

The DivPro 6 Way tool includes all of the necessary golf accessories you’ll need on the course (and then some.) Let’s break it down:

1.) Divot repair (to clean up the green after you knock one within three feet.)

2.) Ball marker (so your idiot friend doesn’t knock your ball off the green with his approach shot.)

3.) Club head cleaner (if you’re playing like garbage, your clubs may as well look good… right?)

4.) Golf grip saver (don’t lay your clubs on the ground, use the DivPro to prop them up.)

5.) Cigar holder (never set your cigar down on the grass again.)

6.) Shotgun can opener (because getting bombed is the true reason you’re out on the links.)

The DivPro also comes with the complete rules for Shotgun Golf — a fun game to play with your buddies on the course. The tool runs an affordable $14.95, so pick one up for yourself or your wedding party members at The Man Registry.

Honeymoon golf. Is it allowed?

“Can I hit the links during my honeymoon?” This is probably one of the most common questions we get asked by grooms – and I really can’t blame them for asking. Most couples travel to warm, waterfront locations for their honeymoon – locations with plenty of golf courses nearby. For golfers, it’s only natural to want to get out and test your skill against the local challenges. However, suggesting a golf outing to your new wife can be tricky.

Here are a few things to think about before you book that tee time:

Marriage is, after all, about compromise

We recently polled ten of our Twitter and Facebook friends on the topic and the vote went 9-1 in favor of the groom being allowed to play as long as there was another daytime activity that the bride would want to do solo. We couldn’t agree more with this stance. Making compromises is a huge part of any healthy marriage.

Is she a golfer?

If the answer to this question is yes, you’re in the clear. Try setting up a tee time for the both of you. Most courses will have clubs that can be rented for a small fee. The only negative side to this is that you’re probably going to have to let her win… ahh who am I kidding, she’d probably beat you anyway!

Be smart

If you do happen to find yourself on the golf course, use your brain. While getting to play is a nice addition to the honeymoon, you must remember that it is your honeymoon. Only play nine holes,  don’t get drunk and be home when you say you will be. This is just good ‘ol fashion common sense, guys.
